(Sob!) This Pool Season is Finally Over!

[ChuckD]

Dear God, man! Are you retired or something?


Sorry. It's this weekend for me as well. This past week we had very little sun and the water temp nose-dived as well. I admit the whole thing was so depressing I just let the pool sit with its solar blanket on, the pump running a couple hours a day, no chlorine. And the leaves accumulating...

Pulled the cover off today to find a major green disaster and set about on a textbook, PoolForums, BBB chlorine shock treatment. Had to backwash the DE it was loading up so fast. Beautiful weather today tho.

Retired????

Are you kidding me? I WISH!!!!!

I'm a project manager for a CRO (Clinical Research Organization) and we support pharma companies doing their clinical trials--we manage data. An EASY day for me is 8 hours...and I don't get many of those. 9 or 10 are more typical. I run both an imaging department and now have been thrown into running all the studies for a long-term client.

But I took Saturday to close my pool because it HAD to be done...I plan for it, and every year find new ways to make it faster and easier. As my older boy grows up, he's a bigger help each season, too.

Since I've lived at a keyboard for nearly 25 years I type nearly as fast as I can speak...so it's easy to be verbose. Sorry.
