Steve, thanks - your weekend made mine sound pretty good&#33;&#33;&#33;  Got the pool completely drained and dismantled and bundled everything up and ready to go to the curb on Friday, although I am not sure it will make it there as Greg leaves Thursday morning for his 3 day camping trip with his atv buddies.  They will ride, scratch, burp, fart and whatever else it is that guys do when they are together.  Anyway, I doubt that I will be able to drag it all to the curb.  We kept the ladder and filter because we do plan to replace the pool next summer.  Took my car in yesterday for a transmission flush and servicing.  It is 2 yrs. old and has 48,000 miles on it...I think it had 5 miles on it when I drove it away from the Cadillac dealer in June of &#039;07.  Anyway, since we are going to Vegas next week and then driving it to Galveston and back in Oct., Greg thought we may as well have it done now since they recommend it at 50,000 miles and it will probably have that before we get home from Vegas.  He called Tires Plus and the guy said it would be &#036;189 but when we got there, they said that he had not included the price for a new filter kit and for this and for that so it ended up being &#036;375....I thought Greg would balk about that but he said it was much cheaper than putting a new transmission in the vehicle.  After dropping the car off, we went to the Boy Scout store and spent &#036;100 on the stuff Scotty needed to start Cub Scouts this coming week...that coupled with the cost of brunch out and then a late dinner at our favorite mexican restaurant, brought us to only spending about &#036;535 yesterday...so you win&#33;&#33;&#33;
