Picked up a puck floater Friday and started floating 7 at a time, so we'll see who notices this and comments.

with a cup of coffee in one hand, I emptied the skimmer. Looked at my SWG for all green lights - Ok. Tried to hear my super duper, super quiet intellifo pump running (it is)....
Looked in the pump basket for any bubbles or see if it needs cleaned - no bubbles, basket is fine.
Looked at pressure gauge - its fine
Looked at the pool, its clean and clear and sparkly!
Checked water temp - 72F... (ugh.. been 72 for a month, all the rain has kept the temp down).
Sat pool side and ate some coffee and drank some cinnamon rolls.
Pondered where I want to locate a few plants I bought at the landscape store yesterday. (Still havent decided).

Yea, and it looks like another floater is in order after seeing my FC test this morning.
No pucks are going in my skimmers!
I hope the coffee you ate was tasty.

So, what's the problem?
Toofast...you are not wrong, but not correct. Sorry but true.
:lol:
Oh, nice guess but no...
Trying to see what I need to do puck wise when I leave town. Cya is low, so I have ample room to test this out.
Ok ok ok, nice quiz you got going there, patrick. Just waaayyy too early for my brain. Need to drink some bacon and eggs first!

What's wrong DV, up too late last night 
? :lol:
You and Dave should have breakfast sometime you loons!
Toofast, I had the injection point plumbed in on the build. Never took it further. I plan on that someday, but it's awfully hot and sunny over there for every day use/storage.

Added salt and learned my easy touch does track the salt well. Kneaded my CYA socks, then added pool skimmer socks. Going to buy more salt today.

Opened on Tuesday 4/21. Filter running 24/7 for the moment. Added 5 gals of liquid chlorine last night. Tested this morning for the first time this season. pH too high; added acid. CYA lowest in 3 years. Minor amount of cc, likely due to all the pollen flying around. Water sparkles this afternoon! Late this afternoon put on solar cover. Current water temp is 57F; supposed to be a warm week this week! Likely put filter on timer tomorrow morning.
Pulled a fat dead rat out of pool. Decided to add a gallon of bleach after that. Hasty maybe?
Nope, that is a good protocol for that, eewwwww.
We managed to mow part of the yard that wasn't too soggy. Supposed to rain all week again.
I cleaned the filters. Again. They were dirtier than I thought they would be. Dang, I love our trees, but man do they dump a LOT of stuff in our pool. I needed to test cya again because of all the rain. But, we made a pitcher of drinks and got in the hot tub instead! We're in the second pitcher now! :-D
our lake that was down 12' in Feb officially got 100% full today. Ok, rain can stop!

Went for a swim today. First swim of the season. Water was 70 degrees. My heart started beating again about 3 minutes after I jumped in. But I do have to say, it was refreshing.
@patrick_b. ...that would be 41 degrees...not something youre likely to have to worry about in TX Water is now 67 and bot is behaving

Ok cool. I had no idea they would be affected that much. I think...I got down to about 44 this winter, can't remember now, but that's close.
Rats in the pool...No way AimeeH, I would have done the same thing, at least.
I wish I was getting all that rain in my pool. Man!
Ran my chemistry and the Robot yesterday. After I put him up, we got storm wind from the wrong direction, and the winds shredded leaves for the pool. Robot goes back in today...
