Finally, the pool is up and running.   Last year, Brother Dick and his better half moved down here from the Frigid Frozen Tundra ...  and soon pulled the trigger on a pool to be put in.  Problem is .. ... the Wuhan Syndrome.  Getting supplies, manpower, you name it....  affects just about everything we do. In my personal line of work, we've seen six to nine month delays due to a single cable or connector on  $1M systems; it's crazy.  Anyways...  things slowed down, then sped up, then .....  FINISHED!  Was time for some swimming!  With the water temps in the low 80s, outside temp upwards of 90...   was a perfect day to break it in.  Well, sort of.... it's been running for some time now, but Lucy and I finally got our butts over there. Got to admit, it's a beauty.  That back waterfall is upwards of 40' long .  Beautiful  travertine pavers around the whole pool area.  The plaster has a beautiful ...

This past weekend I found myself mired deep in a discussion on a charity fundraiser and really got me wondering about a few things..... This particular situation that popped up had to do with a fundraiser next year, basically how to raise the most funds. When it came up I was unaware of what had been going on with it all previously and found myself in the dark trying to understand the situation before a vote was possibly to take place.  I'm quietly whispering around to the few guys near me what a few terms meant, what the guys at the head able were referring to .. and many around me didn't have a clue either.  The individual to my right did know, was on the committee for it .. and was talking about resigning from that committee due to situations about it. Now, flags are going up. To make matters worse, many of us were having trouble even hearing what was going on due to too much noise from an A/C system.  Then .... things got heated.  A few people involved with it we...

 ........okay .. not really ... but damned it .. how about some common sense?  Got a meeting to go to this weekend .. and ... The other day, someone I know sends to our group "Trying to figure out if in going to be able to go. Everyone in my house has covid. I still have the antibodies for getting over it.  Not sure if I should bring this up to the xxxx not sure if I can carry it. Anyone know   Today, my whole family and my sisters all tested positive.  Can I pass it to anyone? Would it be a risk for me to be at the meeting."  was asked for this weekend with an important meeting coming up . Few folks chime in as if everything is okay .. but.. there are about fifty of us showing up.  I question the sanity in all this ... so respond with .."How about you ask your doctor before you potentially spread this shit?  Am I missing something here?" Well.. lets just say .. the shit storm began.  Over 33 comments later the 'covid' guy finally respon...
