Cheers,

It got up to 26C in the shop, I didn't close the doors but took off the longsleeves.

Aye, I sort-of felt the same about it, though I've seen it referred to as "natural" as its some kind of "biofilm" (what, like blue-green algae?). Mostly we don't use it because, well, the spa easily takes the blanket, and the pool is enough buggerising around with without adding more chemicals to it. Right now, we're "chelating" brown stains on the bottom.

The pool is full! It takes a week using the hose and most of a day using the 3 inch pipe from the main. 'Course, the using the main route leads to no water pressure in the rest of the house all day, and SUmkIII complains bitterly when I start it up in the middle of her shower, so I usually use the hose. But this year, it is so late and we are leaving Thursday nite to escape the H1N1 flu, so I splurged.

Water temp this morning 13 C 56 F. A bit nippy to go swimming right now.

First pool party is when it gets up to 72 F or 22 C.

I dunno about "natural," but it really never hurt Tim to accidentally get squirted with it. His wife never squirted it into his eyes, however, just in case. And because she knows payback is a beeyotch.

Right now, we're "chelating" brown stains on the bottom.

Drink plenty of water and cranberry juice, and see a urologist.

Breathe deeply and enjoy the rain and the cool breeze that comes with it, DG. "Severe" rarely means "devastating for all", right?

Tornado on the ground near my house. I'll have to call the neighbor to see if we still have a roof after it passes. In fact, several occurring right now. Eeeek!

I hope no harm comes to your home, or the love shack.

This has been going on for a week now.

DixieGal · 05-06-2009, 11:24 AM

Lots of damage around the state, but it has calmed down for a while. Then the rest of the storm is supposed to start again in a few hours and keep storming for a long time. This thing stretches across Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, and is growing bigger all the time. I wish I could say this is uncommon, but we have been having storm after storm for the past week. Today looks to be the worst, however.
