Monday, Monday

I looked up 'busy Monday' on Google and it came back immediately, as it does, with fifty-two million hits. Fifty-two million busy Mondays all at the same time? Just a little overwhelming. One was enough for me, thanks.

So, what was the first thing you thought of when you read the title? A quick flash of the Mamas and Papas, perhaps? If that's the case, you can be confident you're dating yourself. That was a hit in 1966. It was the only number one hit they ever scored.

All right, it was a busy Monday, but I didn't say I was busy all day.

First thing this morning, I had to go down to the pool and see our new arrival, courtesy of Roy and Son's Trucking. It was a brand new Hayward Pool Vac Ultra - a pool vacuum. Cute little thing too. It reminded us of the three little poker-playing (and cheating) robot drones in Silent Running with Bruce Dern.

He named them Huey, Duey and Louie. We picked Huey as the name for our little drone. He's happy to spend his day just cruising around the bottom of the pool.

One of the other things we got (seemed like Christmas) was a weather station. I spent part of the afternoon figuring out how to put it together.

Weather Or Not

As promised yesterday, here's a shot of our new guesthouse stove. It's almost ready to be hooked up. It's just waiting for me to finish hooking up the gas lines. We decided to only go with one tank, so I had to run a gas line under the pool deck around to the utility room to supply gas to the water heater.

The Stove

I spent a good deal of time this morning under the deck hooking up the gas line. Of course it wouldn't be right if no glitches appeared. We have one - the gas line is too short. So, tomorrow or Thursday, when I go get the gas tank from Cinty's, I'll pick up another length of gas line.

The last thing on the list to tell you about was that Cody was busy building a small pad for the gas tank to sit on. Here he's getting ready for the last bucket-full of concrete.
