Re: man's work is tough!!

You're right! There is karma! Right now though my weekend project is to figure out how to patch the swimming pool. You see, I bought this above ground 18' x 4' pool cause it gets really hot here, 100 to 105, and I thought it would be great to float around the pool and get tanned and let all my worries fizzle away. The pool holds about 5,500 gallons of water. It is an easyset pool, so I get it all set up and commenced to putting water in it. I guess I didn't realize how much water 5,500 gallons was, but I started the project in the morning....it is now night....I am outside on the patio having a drink talking on the phone to my dad when BOOM! I run in the house and tell my son I think someone shot at me! He runs outside and we look everywhere, can't figure out what the noise was and decide it was nothing. I hang up with my dad, have a few more drinks, then I hear it. Water trickling gurgling sounds.... you see, in my phone calling/having a few drinks stage, I had forgotten to check the water level in the pool and over filled the thing and it blew a hole in the side of it! (It really did sound like a gun shot). So, the moral of this story is, it takes a REALLY LONG TIME to fill up one of these pool and don't drink while you're doing it!
