5:54 a.m. - Yesterday was eventful. First, I had an appointment with Dr. Hussein for my most recently repaired knee, and he said things are looking good and that I'm way ahead of where I was on the first knee - something I was pleasantly already aware of. As I was heading to my appointment, I saw Pete the Pool Guy pulling into Edgington, which was a good sight to see. When I returned from my appointment, Pete's crew was hard at work - they had already torn out the old liner and were repairing the existing pool frame to prepare for the new liner. I didn't realize that the side of the pool is actually metal, and the bottom of the pool is all cement. I also didn't realize that toads dig holes in the edges of the bottom of the pool in that cement. The crew working said the area under the liner actually was in "pretty good shape" which was good to hear. There was also discussion about the light and the electricity that is wired to the pump, so there may be some additional work that needs to be done. So overnight, we had a hose from the back hydrant and a hose from the front hydrant working to fill the pool with water. In the late afternoon and evening, Amber and I went back to the camper for one last night. I burned the rest of the firewood, and Amber and I watched the latest Avatar movie. (I've never really enjoyed those movies like other people do, and this one is really no exception.)
I didn't sleep very well last night thinking about pull out day here at the campground as well as the pool at home, so I got up early before 5 a.m. and headed out in the truck to check on the pool. That all checked out, and I took a little time to take care of Bella's morning needs. Then I went to Shawn's house to do my morning supervision job, and all of that was okay too. (I'm looking forward to Shawn and Mary returning home, so I don't need to monitor that anymore.)
I think today, then, will start with some breakfast here at the campground before I put the Blackstone back in the camper. And then I'll work on getting the Eagle all packed up to take back home. It's always a little stressful getting the camper placed back at home next to the house, but maybe today will be different. First, I hope the rain holds off, and second, I'm going to try Bob's idea to remove some fence prior to backing the camper up and in.
After that...I'm sure there were be unloading things to complete at home, and then I don't know what is on the schedule. I think Amber said the Harrison girls have a game tonight.
