Poolman

Posted on | April 21, 2008 |

I spent a great deal of time cleaning and reviving the pool this weekend. I have a good system down for regular maintenance, but that first cleaning after a few months or so of no use is always fun. I find all kinds of things in the systems various filters. And those main filters were gross. Despite all of this I managed to get everything working smoothly and I’m on the way to a nice clean pool. I’m not going to get to resurface it this year like I had hoped, but that’s ok.

I really only have one week left before I’m out until June. May is crazy busy for me. I’m only home six days in May so that’s why the mad rush to get the house prepped for summer. It sounds crazy but thats what it will be like when I finally stop in June. Which kind of sucks. I’m missing the entire spring in Texas this year. Bummer, especially since the yard is yielding a bunch of new color this year. The purple Lily in the back has a dozen or so flower blooming right now, and its been years since that happened.

{shut up, I can be masculine and talk about purple flowers … }

I also have a good crop of pepper coming in too. There are greens, yellows, orange, red, jalepeno, anaheim, and poblano peppers this year. Plus a few other little goodies like broccoli and spinach. So we’ll see what there is when I get home. It sounds like the timing will be perfect and my beer will have aged enough that I may have a stuffed pepper beer fest or something. Lord knows I’ll need a party or something by then to blow off the steam I’m going to accumulate.

Ok, enough rambling for now. Time to make the donuts …
Have a good day kids.
