We are off today for Alabama's first football game of the season. We play Michigan at Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, Texas. We will fly and now will have to possibly fly around Hurricane Isaac. Lovely. It should be a great game.
This could be another great season for us. Some "experts" have predicted we could win another National Championship. We will see in a few months.
The Olympics ended and the US did great. We ended up with more medals and more gold medals than any other country.
Gas prices are going up. I think it is about $3.59 or more a gallon. Ugh. Nuff said.
This is not a lot of information or much detail, but I have a plane to catch.
Roll Tide,

More Updates
We got our fingerprints done on Tuesday, May 28. This is our last fingerprints in this program. Not sure where we are headed now. Hm....
The 2012 Summer Olympics in London are in full force now. We are having a blast watching them, but having a problem staying awake late to watch the best events.
We are starting to get ready for football season. We should have a decent team and our first game is against Michigan in Arlington, TX at the big house. Should be fun.
More later....

Pool Update
Well, I looked at my blog and realized some of the posts as far as the pool timeline are gone. Yep. Not sure what happened. All of June seems to be gone. It may be a good thing because our concrete guys were a bunch of yahoos and jar heads. Not days I really want to remember. The first company was here for six (6!!!!) weeks. They should have needed 2, maybe 3, weeks. Disgusting. Then as they tried to repair major mistakes, they would destroy something else. It was a never ending process. So, we fired them. Period. Do not come back.
Fast forward three weeks and we have a new company on site to do repairs. Things started going in the same directions. Like, it started good, then they got sloppy. The day they should have finished I left for thirty minutes. I had told them certain things that needed repaired, fixed, or cleaned before they left. They were gone when I got back. Thirty minutes? Really? They had finished what they were working on, pressured washed, packed up, and were GONE!! Thirty minutes. Yep. I couldn't believe it. And, I had completely wasted my breath because they did nothing I had told them to do. Needless to say I was hot and not happy. Tide Guy called the owner, gave him some really bad news and told him they better return or they wouldn't get paid one cent. The owner was not happy to say the least. But he did show up the next day with the same crew. He called Tide Guy and told him he now understood why we were upset. He would now be at our house and make sure everything got done correctly. It took them another week. So, we had concrete guys at our house for 4 months. This job should have taken three weeks at the longest.
We are enjoying the pool. We still need to put up a fence and lay sod around the area. We also need to complete the patio with a ceiling, lights, and fans.
