To quote a Stan Ridgeway song. It was a lost weekend, but a good one. Just felt it went by way to fast.
Friday night was good, finally no work for 2 days and the Patriots played their first (sort of) football game since the AFC championship game. It was good to sit and enjoy a football game. I know I’m a addict for watching the preseason, but I like to watch where the players are at and see the young guys, who are doubtful to make the team, competing for a spot.
Saturday started off slow. The pool installer was behind a day because of the rain on Friday, so I didn’t get to watch him install my pool. I took it easy and got ready for my first good game night in nearly a year. Finally got to play some fantasy RPG D20 system, in my friend Dave’s world. It was a great night, we accomplished our mission, though I came one save away from dying. The only issue I have with my character, is that I have a serious lack of direction. I just don’t know what he wants to be or do. It makes it hard for me to play him, and do him justice. I just have to try and figure it out, talk to Dave and the other character, Rich, and see if I can figure it out. I just need to find his nitch in the world and I’ll be better off.
Sunday was the day! The installer came and set up my baby, my pool! I will post some pictures later on. It came out great, fills that area of the yard like I thought it would, and I can’t wait until we can start swimming in it. It was about a 5 hour job, though I still have to do the fence around it. He gave us a 100 bucks off the install and after the fact, I figured out why. Each section of fence, and there are a lot, needs to be cut to size. That will take me a while to do, but at least I know that I will do a quality job on it. The water truck comes today and the electrician tomorrow, so by the weekend and hopefully before we will be in it and enjoying it. My in-laws visited that afternoon as the guy was finishing up. My father in law is very much against the pool, so I figured it would be a bit of a “I don’t think you should have done this!” visit. Thankfully it wasn’t. He didn’t even bring up the points he had so many times before. I guess he saw it as it was already in so he couldn’t stop us now. We’ll see how that all works out in the end.
Well, that was my weekend. It went by so fast that it felt like I lost it, but in hindsight, it was really a good one.
