It´s getting time to call it a day.

I am not going to be in tomorrow morning, as I have an early appointment with my cardiologist to discuss the further  treatment.

May I, for that reason, pass on the responsibility to open the April Diner to whoever feels inclined to do so?

Thanks!

 Evening Dinners

 Flo, Beer Please. Beer

 Did some running today, about all I did. Stopped by the local Habita For Humanity ReStore store. They did have some nice stuff, walked with a office chair for $6.00. I was hoping they have some 2X6X8' foot boards so I could patch up the fence.

 Tin Can Yes I have done a lot! Only YGW as seen photo's I was ashamed to post here. Under the pool cover, well that is a diffrent story. That mess will take me most of the summer to clean up!

 YGW So far I have not touched the fence. Funny thing I was never written up about the fence because I was told to remove the swiming pool! I know that part is coming, but right now I am working on what I have been told I have to do. But, I do have a plan! As soon as I get the Credit Card paid down, I am buy a gas power Post Hole Digger. Just to many post to dig to rent one. On the missing section I will dig off set post holes. I will butt the new section up against the old section. Then I will move on from there. While I will have to have more post this way but the fence can be done one 16 foot section at a time.

 Only side of the fence that will hard is the pool side where the gravel had moved. My worst fear as not happened, the gravel I dug out has not moved so far.  Yes Back section I will patch up the missing boards till I get the pool side done.

 Dirty Water Pump Question How do you folks think one will do sucking up rotten leaves out of the pool?

 Ulrich Yes on what the Dr says. I must admit last night I lost some sleep with my up coming stress test.

 Galaxy Soory to read you are still having problems.

 See you all Friday. Hum, April Fools Day. That is when I joined the Army, guess the joke was on me!

My oh my, but that was one fine bike ride.  For the first time in many months, I was out in bike shorts and a bike jersey - no extra shirts, leggings or windbreakers.  It was in the 70s.  Once again, I retraced the path of the old Billerica and Bedford Railroad, and then picked up some B&M right-of-way once past the Depot at Bedford, finally arriving at the site of a long-forgotten steam-era derailment on the Reformatory Branch.

Still no power at w**k brought the "puter " home and looked at PMs. So much easier to work from !

Howmus - Well that is just WRONG ! That is very misleading on Vermonts part !

Chessie - I answered your PM

Galaxy - I answered your PM too.

Ulrich - The bus looks good on there Thumbs Up Praying for the best at your Docs appointment.

Tin Can - They will not mail you some ?

Ken - Here is something we have done in the past. Take a 5 gallon bucket. drill 1/2 holes around the sides and bottom. Cover with cheap window screen. Drop bucket in water, drop pump in and pump away. Saves the pump and you dont have to unclogg it as often.

Evening Diners,

Don't worry about opening the diner tomorrow Ulrich I'll do it. Unless Galaxy wants to open it.
