Highlights: set up Yahoo IM, pool project, CBT at CamPen till 10pm
I discovered the world of instant messaging today,, and almost got knocked out of my chair with sudden contact overload! (= ha ha. apparently everyone from my e-mail inbox gets a notice that I’m signed up, and 10 of them responded all at once! Sorry guys! What a great little feature,, but a touch overwhelming at first. So yeah- I’m a little slow on the technological uptake with some things. Anyways-
I had the pool resurfacing guys come to the house to look at the pool & give me an estimate for how much it would cost to fix it.
I’m discovering how many “did it himself” projects the previous home-owner messed up. Faulty wiring, bad concrete work, improperly installed toilets. Whew. He worked for Home Depot corporate office, and thought he could do everything cheaper & better himself. I’m the one stuck cleaning up his messes.
Pool plaster is rated for 5 years or so, and there were some chips & flakes that needed attention when I bought this house in 2005,,, so it’s time to look into it.
Mike from Gardener Pool Plastering came over & walked me through a few options. I could do this job as cheaply as possible ($8 grand or so), or invest in it a bit more- and make it an awesome pool. I’m leaning heavily towards the latter option, but of course it’s gonna cost me. I’m probably looking at $16 grand sometime this summer. Ooooh! When is it ever a good time to drop double digit numbers like that on a Captain’s salary?
Well… I’m investing in the house.. my improvement projects are tax deductable next year- and my tenants will love it later, so,,, when I scrape the money together- it’ll be worth it.
After that, I drove up to CamPen & worked on the computers till 10pm, knocking out some computer based training (CBT) & tests over aircraft systems.
As if I wasn’t truly tired enough by 11, when I got home,,, half-way into checking my e-mail, Ben comes down to the kitchen and decides he wants a little confrontation.
I think he was miffed he didn’t get more of a reaction from me yesterday with his little announcement. I didn’t explain my thinking then, but I made up for it today. He flipped a switch with me.
At one point he said he wants to come back & settle this man to man in the parking lot. Who talks like that anymore? Come on. Grow up.
