Lol! Shoes you could get. And I presume with your wisdom, as I have presumed with my own, that you would manage better with lottery winnings than an under 30yo. [emoji14]

It's mid-July, and I think there has only been one night that I was too warm to sleep. No air conditioning or fan needed for the past few weeks. Though I saw 90 for Sunday in the forecast., and a low of 68. Maybe my pool will actually get above 80 degrees! (It went to 79 this evening, even though the air temp was only 75 or so. the new sunny location and solar cover are working! (My old, smaller pool didn't even get to 80 more than a day or two, due to shady area and a not too hot summer last year, too.)
I fished out a bug the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, put in some bleach, wife rescued a frog and one bumble bee...

I'm a little late posting this since it happened last Friday, but I had a major electrical problem come up. My pool pump wouldn't turn on. I checked everything, and it all seemed ok. Then I noticed the A/C on the same subpanel as the pool wasn't cooling. And my air compressor wouldn't turn on. Nothing that ran on 240v on that panel worked. I checked the voltage coming from the main panel to the subpanel. 240v. Checked the voltage coming into the subpanel. 8v! One line was 118.9v and the other was 88v. Long story short, I have aluminum USE cable running from my main panel to the subpanel that feeds my garage and the pool. The cable contractor that ran my new cable line a couple months ago nicked one of the lines, and the aluminum cable had finally corroded in two. Once I found it I did an underground rated splice and got it all back up and running. Always something fun at my house!

I think you're right Lisa P. He ALWAYS seems to be at, or in his pool doesn't he?

Happy you got this sorted 240. It is always something!
Yes!!! And today I'm actually home and have time to be in the water and I'm sick [emoji17]. But I'm glad my buddy Dave gets to enjoy his pool! [emoji14]

OH NO Lisa 
you do not feel good? I bet a good float in the sun will make your feel a little better!
HUGS!

Thanks Kim. My throat hurts and I've pretty much lost my voice. It's a bit comical because my hubby is hard of hearing in the first place (from working on airplanes) sooooo communication is difficult with barely a voice. I'm loading up the vitamin C and Popsicles and warm salt water. Maybe I'll feel like getting in the pool later. Good news is I have the forum to entertain me since it doesn't require talking or moving much. [emoji5]️.

Swam. Tested ph and fc. They were right where I expected. Swam. Threw out 20 or 30 leaves. Swam.
Used my Pool Blaster Max to scoop up about 12 centipedes that committed hari kari overnight.
You'd think that they'd crawl to the edge, see their fellow brethren laying rolled up in the warm depths and get the hint it is *not* going to go so well for them....

Getting it ready for a pool party once more. Robot and a shot or two of Chlorine today is all. This will be 3 in a row now, so hopefully we have next weekend off.
I'm in the pool, the sun is shining, and it's raining. What the heck is going on here!
Nope not anymore. I only have to test every few days now, because I know my pool.

I keep the cover closed when we are out of town so I opened it back up and turned the SWCG back up to compensate. Swam.
