This weekend I,along with several others, went to Camp Manitoumi for the annual pool cleaning that my Sunday School class does.
This is what it looks like when we start:

We use power washers to spray all that stuff off and into the deep end

And once it’s that far we waint for the pumps to drain enough water out theat we can get into the deep end and power wash the sides of it

Then when we get done with that, we use those buckets you can see floating around to dredge out all the leaves and muck till there isn’t enough left to get with the buckets.
The refilling starts. Takes about 100 hours to refill the pool back up.

While we were up there, One of the guys that went with us is used to working the night shift, so he didn’t sleep at all. So what did he do all night? Well, this is what we found the next morning when we got up…..

 

Well, tomorrow right after i get off work at 5pm, i will be going up, along with a group from church, to our church camp located near Peoria, IL. We will get up there around 9 or so. Then the next day we will clean the pool and get it ready for the summer season. This is our fourth year doing it as a group, and each year we get better and better. We will come home later that evening. Sunday is always church.

I’m not dead, but alive and well. I’ve been busy at work. Even though classes are done for the summer, the IS Dept picks it up, and moves into overdrive to get things done. We have about 80 machines to upgrade from 2k to XP over the next three months, and setting up a couple of new file servers. One for network drives, and one to replace one that is getting old. Also, if your site is capable of doing RSS feeds, let me know. I have already added some to my Feed list.
