Found the Pool leak
I was getting a little nervous. Leaks, like anomalies in program execution never “go away”. We had not lost any water in the pool from when I opened it until last Sunday. I was getting nervous because as it gets closer to pool closing time, I knew that if I closed it without finding the cause of last year’s water loss, it would happen again. Last Sunday evening the Aylaians came over for a swim and the girls did a lot of diving (and churning up the water). Sure enough, starting Monday morning, we were losing more than an inch a day. It has been hot and very humid so it was not evaporation loss. Finally Thursday morning early (about 6) I was letting the cat out and decided to go look because the level was so low. As I just walked around the edge, I saw the slit. It was about 1″ long and when I rubbed it with the brush, I got sand plumes. I got the patch on as soon as I got back from VBS. Water loss has stopped.
(A few of the pics have the patched slit circled. )
Kait Cooks a Tuna/Tyler and the Real License
Never a dull moment. I had a couple of meetings down in Braintree on Monday. On the way home, I got a call from Kait saying she was making dinner. It turned out to be spectacular. Tuna steaks with lemon and sliced almonds, fresh baked Pillsbury crescent rolls, rice, http://www.honeytraveler.com/buy-neurontin/ diced tomatos.

It doesn’t get any better for this Deacon
Singing the Exsultet is the high point of the liturical ministry of the Deacon. For the last few years I have had the privilege of singing this at St. Isidore with Rebecca. It is a setting for Soprano and Tenor by Bob Dufford titled Most Holy Night.

We finally located a few of the hulk costume photos. Click on the thumbnails to see larger images.
A little dark but you get the picture
Betsy's conehead helps locate this in time.
Investing in the back
After more careful weighing of the possibilities I decided to try out some Relax the Back chairs. My main concern was paying a handsome sum for a chair which then turned out not to be nice to my back. If the chair was good, then the price would be well worth it. Well it turns out that they have a 30 day no questions asked return policy for stock on hand. SOooo, I am now relaxing my back in my new chair
If I like it I can either keep this one or return it for a different color or fabric.
TGIFios
Well we finally got FIOS installed today. They say it takes 4-6 hours. Ours was done in 3. We got the phone-tv-internet bundle.
The first three photos show how I had to clean up the old garage before the installation so the installer wouldn’t die from spider webs and other assorted crud.
The next picture is the fiber to coax converter box and the 2 day UPS system that keeps the phone going even if we lose power. The other pictures show the 3 TVs with their settup boxes. The picture is great – we get all the local channels in HD including the ones for the RedSox and the Celtics. No Stow local access channel but that is coming soon they say. Finally they include wifi access point and router so the office LInkSys has been replaced for now. So far it is working perfectly. Getting 19Mbs down and 5+ up.
