Home Depot did not have the part we needed. In fact, some of the plumbing was glued together and we'd have to replace a lot more of the pipe than we had originally thought. The job could possibly include some cutting of the pipe as well.

A WEEK AT DESERT POOLS (ROD), DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CA
A field of windmills nearby and in the distance on I-10. They are even high on the mountains in the far distance beyond Palm Springs.
And of course there was Pickleball -- a lot of Pickleball. Ken played with the group almost every morning. I played a little when I was not dancing. There were always at least eight players, enough for two courts. Sometimes there were as many as fifteen!!
Another group: Mike whom we just met; Judy, Bert's wife; Larry whom we met on the courts in Orlando; and Ray, another player from Thousand Trails.
Mike and I were partners in a couple of games back to back. We WON both games!! That's why the very friendly pose!!
And here are the gals!! Judy; Phyllis from Thousand Trails; Betty whom we met here last year; Lee from Thousand Trails; and Faye.
THEY DID IT!!! THEY DID IT!!! THEY DID IT!!! VCU IS IN THE FINAL FOUR

2nd ANNUAL PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT AT TT PLAM SPRINGS, CA - DAY 1
Thur. Mar. 17 – Today was the first day of this 3-Day event. It was a lot of fun as the women played in the Women’s Tournament and the men played in the Men’s Tournament. At the end of play, scores from both tournaments were tallied and the top players of both sexes were put into the A Flight and lower scoring players were placed in the B Flight for the next part of the tournament to take place on Friday.
Rick ran the tournament. Great Job!
Shirley kept track of the scores, etc., etc., etc. Another job well done.
Here is some of the action on that first day of play!

PIZZA PARTY AT BILL'S PIZZA, PALM SPRINGS, CA
The rest of the group we met on the Pickleball Courts at either TT Orlando or TT Peace River in Florida. We all went back and forth between the two campgrounds all winter.
Mark and Chris.
Brian and Judy. Everyone ordered the large pizza except Brian and Judy and Ken and I. We opted for the 10" pizza which was enough for two, but they certainly did look tiny next to the big 18" pizzas. Problem was, the pizza was so good, I wished I had ordered the large one!!
Bill, himself, served our beer. Barb first heard of Bill's Pizza when she saw Bill at one of the street festivals handing out sample slices of pizza to the crowd. Bill seems to be a real "people person".
