I lived in Pittsburgh for 10 years after growing up in Georgia. For many reasons - but much of it being weather related - I will never live up north again. I think even DFW winters have been too cold for me the last few years. When my company was closing our PGH office and gave us a choice of where to go, Texas was absolutely on the short list. You'd have to pay me 3-4x what I get now before I'd even consider moving back to that latitude.
Haven't done much to the pool lately outside of keeping the water looking good. Still currently hemming and hawwing over a VSP and SWCG. It wouldn't normally be a question, but I've got so many big ticket items the house could use, and the missus really wants a Speed Queen frontloader set. I also need to replace the high limit switches in the heater; despite everything I've done, it'll still trip the HL2 switch if the heater runs for more than ~20 minutes.
