Good Day Fine REO Folk. Very quick drop in. Old body is sore from yesterday's toiling. Had to do some pipe work as sun was getting low in sky. Much less fun when lighting gets bad, especially for someone who only does such things on rare occasions. I can see the bottom of the pool today!!!!!! Now hand dragging out, using commercial pole and leaf bag several hundred pounds of wet muck I couldn't get to when pool was drained due to slick and steepness of the "pit." Then I'll be able to vacuum rest to waste without having to empty the big leaf/muck canister every thirty seconds. Then open bottom drain and really get to work on making pretty. Don't want to put the stabilizer in yet as lots of water going to waste; hundreds of gallons per session. It's only taken about 50 big jugs of Bleach to get it to this point. That's what "sanitized" the three WILDLINGS who swam last night after getting out and terrorizing the neighborhood. All five got out after Rosie Heeler opened the gate to back yard but the Heeler girls aren't fond of swimming in pools like Jake Mastiff and the Doodles are.
MAJOR NEWS FLASH!!!!!! I FOUND MY MISSING MINI 2.0 WITH KILLER!!!!!!! I spent an hour looking inside and outside this morning. Distressing not finding them, to say the least. They were on my car seat. Looks like I carried it with me when I moved the car out away from house last night and just plum forgot. (We have to park cars away from house with hoods open or the Woods Rats eat the wiring and wiring harnesses. $10K damage to three vehicles a few winters back. Out of everything we tried this has worked the best and we don't have to do anything else.)
Woods Rats ate the floating power cord on my fairly new Aquabot; completely severed and lots of chews up and down cord. It can't be patched and used safely as most of it is in the pool when in use. Safer to spend the $100 or so for cord than to risk shock. I have other cleaners but the Aquabot is best for capturing the microscopic cementous dust using the fine bags. And it's the cheapest to run 12 hours a day. The electricity for the Polaris pump cost me over $100 extra a month to do the cleaning that the Aquabot does for pennies a day. And the only Polaris bag that doesn't let the fine dust through are the throw away bags that cost about $3 a piece. I can get no more than three days out of them, emptying a couple times a day and rinsing out, before they start to disintegrate. So Polaris is best for leaves only using big leaf bags.
Oh, yeah.... only my lips got sunburned even using 50 spf chapstick all day. They are nice and rosy. No need for extra color.
Gotta run. Keeping getting well and feeling better all who are ailing. Keep those you love close in heart and mind.
Love and hugs, Feisty Alice

I lose and find at least one on average almost every week. I mostly lose TTs, DTs, and RBAs, on a regular basis. This is why I can only have one REO traversing around with me when I'm doing work around the place. I can't keep up with more than one. Every time I ask DH to be on lookout for "lost" REO his first remark is always, "start straining stools (doggie)." So far they haven't eaten a REO and the Doodles have stopped, knock on Wood, stealing them. I had Silver Mini 2.0 outside and inside with me all day/night, setting it down in only a few places designated for glass and REO. That's what stumped me so much. Didn't even think to look in car. In fact, when I got up, my first thought was, oh hell, I didn't move the car out....... but I did. I was so tired I didn't even soak old bod in perfect spa, all ready to go with top off. Earlier it was beckoning to me but as it got later I became deaf to its calling. Almost too tired to eat the monster salad but when I woke up the plate was empty so I guess I ate it.
Congrats on two years my friend!!
