Opening the pool, ARGH!!!

[tag]Opening The Pool[/tag]

Every year this is so much fun, not. Every year it’s always a treat to discover which gave their life trying to navigate the frozen lake in the middle of winter. We’ve had squirrels, and cats, this year it was a possum bigger than Monty.

I’ll spare you the pictures.

We’ve tried pool covers; we’ve tried no pool covers. We’ve screwed pool covers to the deck, we’ve held them down with water jugs. We’ve never found success.

We gave up on pool covers a couple years ago, but since we got a new liner last year though we would return to them.

We lost our pool cover oh, around February if I recall correctly during a bad storm. For some reason we get high winds where we are and, well I didn’t screw it to the deck this time and it got sucked in, then blown out.

So we left it.

We’re now working on the same process we start every year of converting the ‘pond’ to a crystal clear ‘pool’.

It’s all about the chemicals. With some luck it will be cleared up in 48-72 hours 😉

But at least this year the only major parts replacements are the skimmers (the manual ones) and a couple hoses. No pumps, filters or anything big. (Whoot!)

Open Positions at Seapine Software

Open Positions at Seapine Software, I know we’re looking for the following:

A Product Manager. By that I mean someone with serious software product management skills. Someone that is marketing savvy, and technical. Someone that has been around the block and hopefully is in our market space. If you’ve got the guts, drop us a resume.

At last check we still needed a Business to Consumer Copywriter. I’m not sure what it takes to pass muster around here, but apparently you need to be special. If you are tops in the B to C copywriting gene pool, send us a resume.

We are also looking for a PR person. That stands for Public Relations. Someone to get us noticed, keep us in the forefront, help us build brand awareness. Seems like a good thing, and if you’re good at it, then we would have a spot for you. Please note, we’re only interested in good PR at this time. If your idea of generating Press is run around the office naked, or bringing a gun to work, we don’t need that kind of press.

[Update: It looks like we may have hired a PR Manager]

All good software companies have these things. We are an excellent software company. If you’re working for a once excellent software company and wish to feel that excitement again then dog-gone it, get with the program and send us a resume.

Visit www.seapine.com for contact information.

Latest Barn Photos

Are posted in the Gallery here.

Outside of filling this sucker up and grading the ground around it, we’re done with the shell.

[Sorry photos removed, Gallery Installation ran amuk
and all the links went fubar, the link to the Barn gallery is good above]
The Sky lights really let a lot of light in 🙂
The electric trenched up the driveway, and across the yard.

Our new “Dual” service, single meter. 300 hundred amps of goodness to the house, all updated. The meter is now outside so we no longer have to be awoken, or bothered by the meter reader. (woohoo).

Barnin’ and Fencin’

Well, technically, it’s done. The barn that is. The shell of the barn is done, we have all the parts and trim we’re supposed to have. All of the doors open, close and lock. We even have electric. But it has yet to be filled in and leveled off.

(Pictures soon)

We also almost finished the fencing this weekend. We have about an 8 foot section left. Even the gates are up. Woohoo.

So once the barn gets filled and the groundwork is done, the stall and loft building can commence. As soon as that is done we’ll finally be ready. We’re only a month behind or so it feels like it. Yeah, it feels like it because we are 😉

Hopefully in two weeks or so we’ll have Cisco Home.

Molly and Level 5

We got our letter today and Molly will be moving up to Level 5.

We’re pretty dag-gum proud of her.

She’s also going off to a week of Gymnastics camp at Camp Woodward in Pennsylvania. Looks like a pretty cool place.

This is a pretty big deal for her. We’re excited, and she is pretty fired up. She hasn’t been away from us for a week, or rather hasn’t been away from family in a week. She will be with Mama Lichey, who is as good as it gets. In fact Molly said, “Mom, if I couldn’t have you as a mom, Ms. Sharon would be OK”. So she’ll be fine.

She also got her press today from the floor to handstand without any help. I think she did another 25 of them tonight after she got home.

Go Molly Go!
