    Default Might have a new "skimmer surprise"

    Had a baby turkey in my skimmer the other day when I opened the pool. It was about 10 inches tall. I opened the top and thought what the heck is that??? There are about 30 that cross my property daily. Anyone found anything stranger?

    Didn't someone here have a human being (committed suicide) in their pool?
    35,000 gallon inground vinyl pool.

    A pool close to us had not one but two (deceased) deer in it a couple of weeks ago.

    Ah ha!! I said "in the skimmer" not floating in the pool. I had a 10 inch baby turkey floating inside the skmmer-filled the whole basket! I'm sure ya'll can beat this- you just don't find that everyday!

    I found my thermometer in my skimmer today. Does that count?
