Goodness gracious. Even with the dirt in the background unfinished that’s a BEAUTIFUL view right now.

Thanks! I told the guys to jump in the pool if they get too hot.
If you don’t mind going through the trouble for little old me…….I believe I need to see them as well.

If it’s kind of thick/grease like, it’s sunscreen. Just keep cleaning it off.
PS - perhaps excess sunscreen increases FC demand?

Maybe, I'm not passing an OCLT but we've been swimming in the evening...
Omg my landscaper ordered 5 pallets of a certain type of block and they only sent 2. This is for the firepit. So he had to call his rep. Unilock has stopped making this block and they are focusing on their more popular ones for the year. 
So Unilock is trying to track down more pallets. He said there is no way he'll be able to get them delivered since everything's backed up. He said he will have to drive to go pick them up... hopefully they can track some pallets down...

Unilock is doing some special kind of weirdness this year for sure, good luck hunting down those blocks!
They changed the molds for the pavers I had put down last year so we had to be a little creative with the pattern. Plus, even though we had to go with the new sizes, it was a royal pain to get all the blocks we needed, ended up having to get two separate deliveries from two separate supply houses. This supply chain disruption is real and it sucks!

Yep. We ordered in March and our 2 of 2 delivery just occurred monday...

Yeah, swimming while performing an OCLT can throw off the results.
Are you anywhere near any of the towns along this week’s RAGBRAI route? My spouse has been riding RAGBRAI for almost 30 years! Lol, no way am I going to ride a bicycle that far.
Yep! We're close. I think usually it comes through our tiny town but not this year. I feel kind of bad, it was so hot out today I kept my kids home from youth golf league. The heat index hit 106. They're still pretty little 8, 6, 6.Yeah, swimming while performing an OCLT can throw off the results.

I recently learned RAGBRAI is the largest organized bicycle ride in the world.
I think this year they had over 15,000 sign up (and who knows how many ride without registering).Picture it, 15,000+ crazy cyclists riding across the state of Iowa in the middle of summer!
I'll post more pics tonight. I need to backwash the pool but it's so hot outside....
Start backwashing.
Closely monitor water level at the skimmer from in the pool.
Get out and stop the backwash when appropriate.
Right back in pool.
You can also stand on the other side of the pool opposite the skimmer and watch. Skimmer level is midpoint up on the rectangular frame.
I forgot to take daytime pics so here are a few teasers...
