same. Fuck having a pool unless you live somewhere hot and can utilize it more than three months out of the year
Yep. I'm not trying to be a dick about it. It could have lived. It didn't. Not by my choice. -Elvis

I don't want a house without a pool.  I'm in mine at least 3-4 times per week from May - late September.  We installed a heater/chiller on it last year and it's easily added at least a month to our season.

We have six grandsons with four close by so the pool has been used extensively at our place. Heaters are a must and greatly increases the season. Fifteen years or so and I love having it. I can just go sit by it and enjoy it. Worse day of the year is closing day and the cover goes on.

We have a nice adult and a family HOA pool. We only go about 3 times a summer because they are like bath water by the afternoon.

For the first 9-10 years we had it, I had a company come out to winterize it and put a cover on in October and then come open it in April.  After leaving it open all winter a few years ago, I did the math and it was about the same cost to keep it open as it was to pay to have to closed and opened again.  So, I've left it open all year the past few years.  I really like the look of it if we get some snow.

That's when I really love the chiller.  When the water gets up around 92+, I can turn it on and drop the water temp a few degrees and it feels great when it's 100 outside.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."

I had an old 20x40 in the Park Hill area of NLR I ended up filling in.  I didn't miss it at all at the time but I would like to have a newer, smaller salt water pool now.

I'm no doctor, but if your prostate sticks out THAT far, I'd prolly get it checked out.

We put one in during Covid and usually close it on Halloween every year.  The heater/chiller really extends the season.

I'll get in ours in late March but my wife won't.

Apparently everyone saw the northern lights last night but me. I guess tonight we are due again...

But this is the sunset on Monday

87 degrees...November 18th and we are a vag hair away from 90 degrees.  My yard went dormant and now it is greening up again.  I'm sick of this hot weather.

This ain't nothing compared to the summer fall of 1980!

I know 1980 was hot in general but this day in 1980 was 37 degrees cooler than it is today.

The thermometers just weren't any good way back then.

It's because you had to stick them up your ass for them to work right.

You know the difference between an oral and a rectal thermometer? The taste. (I always test girls who are in nursing school with this question.)
Well, shit...
