Both my neighbor and ourselves did a major re-roof after closing last fall. The dirt/gunk on the cover is incredible! Never been like this before. Every scrubbing muscle is aching, but feeling good; Blackhawks win!
What did you do to your pool today?

- Start date
I weeded and vacuumed up leaves, cut up a tree that blew over from the storm, looked at the green cover, and brought my new test kit in off the porch
How is the Glacier thaw going JV?
Glacier is thawed completely for sure. Spent 20 minutes scooping out leaves. You'd think I didn't have a cover on there! I guess when it's on for 6 months, a lot have time to sneak in there. Did not have time to run for PVC parts, so maybe today...

Looked at the drawings of my pool. Dreamed about where it will go and how happy I will be floating and drinking once all of this mess and stress is over. Does that count??
It certainly does Wendy. I need to stop by your build thread for an update too.
(Don't get sunburn, that's bad for Ya!) :lol:

If I could handle the blood thirsty mosquitoes right now I would be laying out on my tanning ledge. Well - its just dirt and dog toys now. But a girl can dream. I would even apply extra sunscreen - I know how the sun likes to reflect off my beautiful, TFP Crystal Clear water and . . . sigh. Soon.
I looked at my pool today when I came home from work. That's about all I'll do with it today.
Whaja waitin for? Take it off!
It's so tempting, wanting beautiful weather to go with that beautiful pool.
Probably this weekend we'll add water and get pump and filter set up to circulate. We have a maple tree that still has leaves and buds that will be dropping soon. So cleaning out the skimmer and vacuuming all that junk will not be as fun for this "pool girl" if we can't swim.
I did buy a nice fountain to attach to the return jet, so that would be nice to look at while waiting for the weather and water temp to cooperate. :jocolor:
We do have a heater, so swimming in May is very likely, but not April and 60 deg outside. :sad:
P.S. Is there a smilie for shivering cold that us northerners can use? LOL
[emoji33] maybe? That's the face I make during first swim of the year.

Last night, I drained and washed off the water bags getting them ready for storage. Re-gen(ed) the softener for some fill this morning.
Ran the chems, and my FC was 1.2
...........OOPS! :jocolor:
Cya is under 30, so I'm picking up some today...
Yes, I hit it with some FC before bed.

That "face" looks like us too when we jump in.
Water temp, 50 :sad: Will be hooking up the pump this weekend and circulating till the buds have fallen off the tree. Usually that's when we have an ice storm in April. Or a big rain storm and everything comes down. LOL Then the cover will come off. Looking forward to using our new water fountain feature to watch untill we can go swimming.
Finished replumbing my return side today! Time to top it off tomorrow after the PVC solvent has fully set and get the dirt cleaned up.

Looked at it. Checked the chemistry. Decided to throw in the Aquabot. It decided to not work. Took the Bot out. Sighed. Looked at the water some more. Decided to have a beverage.
Because I'm a Pool Nerd, I'm going to run a chemical volume calculation on the pool today. It's done with Acid/TA manipulation, and the move is calculated into volume. I'm close enough, but I wanted to do this last year and never got to it.
So that's what I'll be doing (mostly) to my pool today. At least for this morning.... 
You can read about doing this yourself right here: Chemical way of Calculating Pool volume
I'll be using Acid instead of using Bi-Carb since my pH and TA are so high.
