A vacation doesn't count as getting out of the pool to get another beer and then jumping back in... You should know better!
Pooldv,
Not often that I will ever be able to pull a one-up on you but in this case I need to strike while the opportunity is hot... Wife and I just got back from a three week vacation to Europe. I had a neighbor check the water level and empty the skimmer baskets, but nothing else. Here is a pic of the mess I found when I got back this past Friday the 15th..
After 21 days on vacation...
Nice try though!!!

NO WAY I'd put my foot in that water.......................... It would have to my whole body ... CANNONBALL! 
I saw the subject line then I looked to see who posted it. I was thinking Pooldv is a pro, what the heck happened. I bit the the bait. Love it and what a beautiful pool!
LOL- my family thinks I'm nuts when they see me swimming with a skimmer net in each hand ........That's really sad, Danny, I think I see a small leaf in the corner...you're just such a slacker

Pooldv,
Besides showing off , I believe the point you were trying to make, and the one that I completely agree with, is that if you keep your pool by TFP standards and have some automated way to add FC, such as a SWG or Stenner, then taking a short vacation should not be an issue.. I often see where people say their pool turned green overnight. I suspect that the process took significantly longer, they just never noticed due to lack of testing.
Thanks,
Jim R.

Yes, there are definitely a number of signs that occur before a pool turns green. Let's recap.
Slightly elevated FC usage
Slightly cloudy water
Slightly slimy pool walls
More FC
More cloudy
More slimy
Even more FC
Green fuzzies on the walls
Trouble maintaining FC
Very cloudy water
Green swamp!

I just can't get enough pictures of your feet. Please keep them coming... Can I request some 6" stilettos for the next one?
