Day #2

I still haven't found my voice yet with this blogging thing, but it is only day #2.

News of note....
Marshall may have found a buyer for the old Bonneville that we are trying to get rid of. This guy, named "A.J." is a real card from Virginia and has been calling, e-mailing and texting Marshall for a week now. Marshall offered to fly him up here (any excuse to use the plane) so he can pick up the car and drive it back to Richmond. Great idea, except A.J. has never flown in his whole life. I imagine him taking one look at Marshall's little plane and calling off the whole deal.... he sounds a little off the wall in agreeing to this Marshall Plan. We'll see if this transpires.

Swimming lessons are completely array. School is over, camp hasn't started yet and mothers are scrambling for things to keep their kids out of trouble with.
"No, thanks, I really don't want to be in the water for 8 hours a day with your children..." Somehow they see swimming lessons as an alternative to babysitting. I don't think so.

The pond. Clear and relatively clean so far. We need to install a new UV light bulb to help keep the algae at bay but the fish sure are happy little swimmers right now. My new pond guru, Rich had me mucking it out 2 weeks ago and refilling it with new water so we shall see how long this lasts. Maybe I will conquer the sucker this summer and not end up ripping it out. We did loose a few fish over the winter. I think that was just the end of their life cycle and nothing more drastic. I like to think their deaths were 'natural' as opposed to 'suicidal' because their home was not livable.

Time to go teach. I'm off like a herd of turtles
