    I am SO close to swimming it hurts! We hit 79 briefly yesterday, but older kid has a little cold, the younger is 15 months today, and the air temp was in the 60's in the shade. This morning it was down to 76, but the air was 41! (brrrrrrrrrrrrr ).

    We've had the solar cover on, but were between reels. Yesteday we got the new, all-metal reel assembled. I still need to put in the ladder.

    With solar heater going, we opened up on April 1 as usual. Had my first real swim April 6th. Even had an early morning swim prior to going to work on April 25th.....but it has turned cold and stayed cold ever since, with very little sun to help the solar heat. I have been not too nice to be around over the weekend....I WANNA SWIM!

    Carl's family is a lot stronger than me. The temperatures in NJ have been moderate and I haven't even begun to open my pool yet. I hope to get to it this weekend. I like it at least 80-80 (air and pool water temp).

    We haven't gotten in yet--though by sundown on Sunday it reached 80 (YAY!)--today it was 77 in the morning--I wonder if that was due to it being 40 degrees out at 6am

    I need to get the cover off and vacuum it...I may do it with the PoolBuster rather than the Dolphin because then the cover is off for only 30 minutes, not all night.
