1: If your kid is in the pool, so are you. 2: No Swimming (suits) after dark.

The camera is a Fujifilm Z33WP 10mp, SD card slot, 3x optical zoom, 2.7" display. It can also do normal resolution video, which can be fun.

So I picked up a waterproof camera cheap because I thought it would be nice to have a camera out by the pool without having to worry about getting my $700 rig wet. Of course, I had to try the underwater mode. 8-)

The one that I have is 20A. It's also interesting to note that I have never tripped the breaker in the house for this circuit. Nothing else is plugged into the GFCI. While I would like a new 60A circuit run to the garage, I doubt that would fix my current (HA!) problem. I am going to take...

I had an online retailer tell me the other day that the Fafco Solar Bear is no longer being made. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

Here are some pics of my color changing nitelighter install. Due to the small gap between the rail and the side of the pool I had to improvise by drilling into the post endcap and bolting the light directly to the rail. And here are some night shots: That thing floating on the left is...

81 Solar heaters do rock, and i'm even adding a second panel in a couple weeks. Not too bad considering the average high here the past couple weeks has been in the mid 70s.
