I woke up bright and early again today.  There must be some switch in my head that is screwed up and waking me up early on weekends when I could actually sleep late.  It better not happen next weekend (it is Memorial Day weekend next weekend after all).

I decided I would try my hand at putting up a dog pen that was been on the to-do list for the last six months.  Got outside with my tools and gloves and moved the hardware to the spot we are putting the pin and realized there were no instructions on how to put it together.  Now this is not one of those pre-fenced all-in-one just hook the panels together type of pens, no, this is a million pipes, screws, clamps, and wires type set up.  I manage to convince the previous owner to come over and tell me how to put it together.  Once it was explained to me that all the pipes made the top and bottom of the pen and the remaining pipes held up the top and bottom rectangles made be the other pipes that I was able to figure out the rest.  Unfortunately we made a discovery that some of the nuts, not the bolts which I would have assumed would have run away with the nuts or just run away solo, were missing.  About that time the storm on the horizon is no longer on the horizon but right on top of us and it was packing a load of lightening for the rest of the day.

So I will be going to the hardware store Monday to get some more nuts and maybe I can get that pen finished this evening.

Then I get to start on the repairs to the pool.
