Bring it on!

Today is Friday!!!
It seems I have been doing side work for everyone and their brother lately.
I swear it is a good thing I have insomnia!
Finished up most of the work have a little bit more but I am going to do the Man-cubs Birthday party Saturday and have a couple of the boys sleep over so I won't be doing much "work-type" stuff It will be celebrating' time.

Setting up the pool...
Well... a funny thing happened on the way to getting the pool set up...

I swept off the area where the pool was going to live.... No sweat (Well okay... my tubby ass was sweating like a kitten in an Chinese restaurant)
I Laid out the tarp that was to be the "Extra buffer layer"... Simple (I laid it down as smooth as a Vegas lounge lizard's come-on lines)
Flopped down the pool all six thousand five hundred and forty two pounds of it... Easy (She laid over like a French whore on holiday)
Dragged out the Filter, Poles, Hoses and what not... Yup (You KNOOOOOW I can handle the hose!)

After setting every thing in place...
I had Zero, Nada, zip, bupkiss as far as connectors were concerned.... When it came time to hook it all up Micheal Jackson had a better shot at getting in Marie Osmond's panties than I had of getting that pool snapped together.

So basically.... My pool is nothing more than a ground covering mass of plastic and poles (not unlike a Paris Hilton video)

I will keep you updated on my adventures in Pool assembly as the whole thing progresses (After I get the connectors that thing should be up like the demand for Penicillin at the walk-in clinic. )

I'll Leave you with This...
Glad to see Ingrid joining in... and don't let anyone fool ya... the sticks aren't that sharp... and they beat the hell outta marathon card play (though I did find myself in a sudden death game of baccarat one time.... I had to break the tie that was made when I lost the "Extreme Go Fish" game to that one eye sword swallower from the bayou... that is a story for another time though)

Any way... sorry for the delay in blogging or commenting... but I really have been busy doing Work.

That is all for now I guess.

How the hell did you try and put the pool up AND blog before I got home from work? Laughed my ass off at you 'knowing how to handle hose'! Shooter said that one eyed sword swallower had ZERO gag reflex! LOL

No problem Nicole.... the comment about side work was more in reference to rebuilding computers and setting up a biometric scanning system... All I have had to do on the web stuff so far is harass you. ;0)

Rick, I typed it up at lunch.
The pool reference was a retelling of last nights adventure.

Glad to be back to blogging.
I will try to maintain my blogging stamina.
