Ho, Ho, Ho....Santa wants to know!

My pool just got a replacement air warmer for the dome blower...which Santa absolutely did not plan on 
In fact, Santa may be in the house right now drinking scotch, pressing the naughty button, and taking me off his list...

All the chlorine she needs! LOL We are getting close to needing a new liner but will hold off until it is a need instead of a want.

Looking at the 10 day weather my pool is hoping for a fresh blanket of snow for Christmas.

Building out cabinets and a workbench in my garage (aka, mini-man-cave) so I can finally store all my stuff and not have my garage look like Sanford & Sons front yard....I even splurged for a rotating 5-1/2” bench vise to go with the 2” thick x 8ft butcher block workbench.
Momma’s getting a treadmill for our bedroom.
Children will be lucky if they get broccoli & underwear at the rate they’re getting on my nerves

Clearly spoken from experience
My wife asked for an elliptical and I told her she can have whatever she wants as long as it gets used...It got used all right. I had that thing sold the next day
Its as if I have a window into your future:

Actually, this will the second go around for treadmill....the first time we got one it was an absolute disaster. Delivered in the dead of night, 2 months to get an installer to set it up, dead out of the crate, multiple service visits to get it working, never ran once, full refund BUT the company abandoned it and left it to us to dispose of. 6 months on Craig’s List gathering dust in my garage and someone finally came to haul it away for scrap metal. After many years of weekly therapy sessions and heavy beer consumption, I’m willing to attempt a second try....
Matt, you just need to get her THIS one
Underwater Treadmill @ Sharper Image
Or for the budget-minded, THIS:
Amazon.com : AquaJogger Active Water Exercise Buoyancy Belt : Aquatic Fitness Equipment : Sports Outdoors
(They actually work...injured runners who need to maintain gait etc. while in recovery use these...I use it too, but I'm no runner )
Of course, you'd then have to heat your pool all winter
So Santa might need to bring you a dome...

Website to be blocked at router level so as to keep DW from discovering it ....
If I got that, then I, too, would need my own winter “Thunderdome” for the pool....the thought sends shivers up my HOA’s collective spine....

Yeah, sorry Matt, I was deliberately leading you down the dome path
There ARE downsides to a dome, in northern climes anyway. LIKE the now imminent heater repair that is critical in these temps. The rollout thermal switch just blew this am...but can't see that the fuse is melted or any obstruction so my guess is a backdraft or gas supply problem. I don't dare change it myself and possibly cloak a problem to rear its head the 2 days I'll be gone at Xmas, so I'll have to beg to get the pool co out. The guy I like is headed to Key West, so this may become an adventure
At a minimum, add a SW switch to Santa's list...

Public nudity laws being what they are prevent me from exercising in my preferred state of being....apparently the psychological harm on the general public is deemed too great....

I suspect Santa wears a good pair of grease-stained mechanic’s overalls and drags along his Snap On tool set with him when he visits your house....
I hope your Dome is back to full operational capacity soon

Gets kind of boring after a 1/4 mile or so.
A new heater is still on my pool's Santa list. I realized this week that I'm officially procrastinating.
Santa delivered an early pool gift this wkd. Friends came for a pool party with one of these:
Last night I huddled in the shallow end near the return to enjoy what warm water the heater can produce, and I ran the boat until the batteries died. I didn't feel much like an adult, but I'm proud to say that I can now send her across the pool at full speed, stop, pivot and stern-in to the boathouse, ahem, skimmer regardless of the "current".
