Another swimming season done

[aylad]

Wow--I shocked my pool--and I'm done, too!

I don't know if I have enough energy to maintain a pool in the north!!

Ahhhh, I just went really "granular" in my description.

I left out:

"Take break and watch Jets win ugly"
"Have lunch"
"Play with my little kid, pal around with my big guy"
"Fix dishwasher electrical circuit"
"Order take-out"
"Drink a brew"
"Browse with Firefox"

My pool is covered (has been for about a week now), but still has the filter and pump on it. It is still too warm around here to totally close it. We are still having day time temps in the mid 80s. I have to get the cover on before the big onslaught of leaves start falling around here, but still need to circulate for awhile yet. When we start having night time temps around freezing, which is still quite aways off for us, then we will tweak the chemistry, drop the water level and disconnect the filter and pump. It will probably be mid to late November.

Been just a little below freezing a few nights but not for long and no worry yet. Got it partially winterized in that I blew and plugged the returns because pieces of those pipes are above ground. Soon I'll do the whole works. Last few days it's een unseasonably warm in northeast PA. Leaves are about gone. That's good because I'll do one more cutting then convert the tractor to winter mode.

Been unseasonably warm, but cooler at night here. We actually technically had our first frost...one morning my deck had enough rime on it to make it a tad treacherous.

But...it's closed. That reminds me: Need to call the sprinkler guys to shut it down.
