Well, if it's any consolation - I damn near broke my ankle yesterday in a hole that my mom dug for my fucking idiot big mouth aunts' damn dead cat! Why the hell didn't she just bury the damn thing in her own yard? (Dumbass!) This has been there for years, but I was cleaning the pool (a collapsable one) and like a dumbass, I was moving it thinking all was well when I stepped into a one foot diameter, six inch deep hole while packing up the liner, which is also the outside material with loops for metal pipes to go inside to support it. This was laying out in the sun to dry after cleaning the dirt from the bottom of it.

I had to paint a project (Korean war U.S. Army tool chest), and put it back together (which is why I had very little time to myself this last week), as well as clean the pool sand of all debris, and roots as one pushed its' way through the bottom of our pool. I had to take the whole thing down, then put sand in one spot that was washed out, and level it, then clean the tarp that comes with the pool to keep grass from poking through, and clean the bottom of the pool liner itself. This was an all day affair! It was getting dark by the time I finished putting the pool together again, so no water, but it did rain during the night, but only a little. I just finished cleaning my paint gun when I had to work on the pool. (Of course, my niece was visiting my mom, and was of no help at all.)

At least my ankle doesn't hurt, but the paint on the tool chest is mismatched, so until my uncle gives the go-ahead with having it computer matched, it'll remain in my backyard until I can finish it in the proper olive drab. I tried to match this perfectly, but the box has sun fading. I'll have to use a non faded part for matching. I know that Army green is the norm for camoflage, but at that time they painted everything olive drab, which is too dark to match grass of most species, except Kentucky blue grass. Kentuckorea? I don't know of any Kentucky blue grass growing across seas!
