Might be a good time to go ahead and really hammer the pool overnight by bumping to FC up considerably with bleach. Since you have no CYA in the pool now and the sun is down (no UV rays to burn your FC off), you can make some headway rather easily. This is assuming of course that you are able to run your pump and filter water and you have the time this evening to dedicate to it.
Been above a free chlorine reading 0f 15 all day so far going to check it now,
also I am running about .5 cc, so still work to be done, I will post a pic around 5:00 of my progress, any comments/advice

Keep it there, I bet you have blue-gray water soon! (that's good by the way!)
It will take longer, and take more chlorine, with the leaves in the pool though.

Keep the FC up until you can pass the overnight test. I can tell you though that if you have leaves in there, it's going to be almost impossible to pass the test. You need to get them out as soon as possible. You'll have to stay at shock level until you have everything out and can pass the test. The gray color will start going clear as your filter catches up, just keep the FC level up!
Kinda weird as my filter has stayed right around 10 the whole time of doing all this, is that norml
Yep but once it starts clearing it may creep up.
That said, it will help if you can edit your signature line with all your major specifics like mine. I can tell you it will take longer to clear if you have a sand filter, for example. Mine takes a few days to clear from gray to clear.

The leaves are going to make the process slow. Patience is key. It took almost a week to clear my pool the first time I had to shock, and it was just some algae on the floor and sides, not a swamp at all (no green water).
Vacuumed some leaves out hopefully got most of them, ppm was 14 I bumped up to 20 for overnite. Hopefully the process will continue. However work tomorrow 12 hr shift 7a to 7p
