Strange test results -- very high combined chlorine (CC)

Ok, to keep things tidy, i will continue the motor discussion here:
http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...ize&highlight=
And it siezed this afternoon...

Back to test results... Any answers to the questions/situation below? More importantly, what can i do while I'm replacing the motor to keep things improving or at least prevent them from getting worse?

I have 44oz of cya... Do i just follow the procedure here...
http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...Way-to-Add-CYA
All 44 oz at once?

Also, these are my chlorine levels... Does this make sense?
5/29
5pm fc is 6 ppm, cc is 5 ppm
8pm added 96 oz. 6% bleach
10pm fc is 5.5
5/30
7am fc is 7.5, cc is 2
7:30pm fc is 2.5, cc is 7.5. Then added 384 oz bleach
8:30pm fc is 9.5, cc is 5
5/31
7am fc is 4.5, cc is 9
6:30pm fc is4, cc is 10. Then added 384 oz bleach
10pm fc is 5, cc is 12.5
6/1
7am fc is 5, cc is 11
6pm fc is 14, cc is 5
Numbers seem to be all over the place.... Not sure what to do now.

1. Get your CYA up.
2. Maintain chlorine levels.
3. Maintain pH in the 7.0 - 7.4 range.

Use dichlor, which will add CYA and keep the pH down. Sams Club is likely the only reasonably priced source of undiluted / unblended dichlor.

Use bleach till you can get some dichlor.

Final update:
Kudos to Pool Doc, Watermom, Chem Geek, and all the others who helped. It has been 1 month since I replaced the water in my pool. Using the BBB Method, my pool has been crystal clear, and guests have all commented on how nice the water is (no chlorine smell, no burning eyes, sparkle, etc.) The method works; this forum is invaluable; and the people here are extremely helpful. Thanks to all. Now, who has any ideas about making summer appear in NW Indiana? It's August and I've had to run the pool heater several times in the last week!

Thanks for the feed back.

For what it's worth, last spring was the 2nd or 3rd hottest in the eastern half of the US; this spring was the 2nd or 3rd coldest. And, I know this summer has been the coolest I ever remember -- I think we've had 3 or 4 days when it's reached or exceeded 90 degrees. Normally, it hits the 90's most days in July, and every day in August!

One of the counter-explanations for some of the weather observations the media likes to blame on anthropogenic global warming, is that we are ending a period (century? I forget) of unusually consistent weather, and re-entering erratic weather patterns more typical of the last several millenia.

Regardless, I actually like the weather we've had -- mild winter AND summer, though I could do with a bit less rain. But, it's been very hard on the pool business. Pool builders in this area have had a very poor pool season.

It's Global Warming, Global Warming, Global warming causing the sky to fall. Human induced, perhaps; but the sky hasn't hit my head too hard... yet.
