Well the pool project got started in earnest today with ground work I helped with digging out using a small bucket loader making a pile of dirt. The pool is going inside the white circle, the grade change is hard to see in the picture, it changes about twenty inches. I was plenty tired last night and I only spent two and a half hours on the machine not the one shown in the picture. Brain spent another three and a half hours also to get the project along this far.

Holly Springs, NC, 55 degrees and mostly cloudy. The answer is I have been lazy. The question is why I have not been blogging for the past eleven days? Well there is not much to write about unless the every day mundane things are written about. Well actually there are some things to write.
There has been a lot of rain some during the day but a lot overnight. Temperatures are mostly in the fifties in the morning and up into the eighties in the afternoon.
Before the Skate outing we had lunch out at Sweet Tomatoes
Last Saturday (the fourteenth) Christine had a birthday outing at a skating ring for Zane (6) there were fourteen friends there with Zane and he skates very well this was the fifth time skating this year.
Ariana is a speedster and she also had a friend there with her. This Saturday is a softball tournament for Ariana in Cary, NC about a half hour drive for all of us to the field.
Christine and John have decided to purchase and install a 21 foot above ground swimming pool that should be installed Friday weather permitting.

| One of hundreds of signs |
Driving thru South Carolina there are signs for South of the Boarder tourist stop for over a hundred miles here is a picture of one sign and the actual site from the highway. I remember riding thru the area in the fifties on US 301 and it was a smaller busy place then and the sign were just as plentiful.

Clearwater, Florida 72 degrees partly sunny to 96 degrees. Merry stayed at the motel and we drove Silver Sally to the east coast of Florida for the space shuttle launch. Interstate four there was stop and go traffic approaching the SR 417 and the BEE line SR 528 had stop and go traffic but better (shorter stopped time) than last time we went for a shuttle launch. We arrived on Merritt Island for a lunch brake and learned the launch was canceled for a fuel heater problem so it was a two hundred sixty eight mile drive for lunch.
