Hey Sweetie,
Went to bed so early last night that I woke up bright and early this morning for a change! A cold front came through and it got down into the low 60’s, with high’s today only in the mid-60’s, so fall is definitely here! Got a little computer work done, then headed over to Glenn’s, with a stop at the Ace Hardware for some pool supplies. Put in a couple more bags of shock, though I was glad to see the pump was working full-bore when I got there. Even after circulating for a couple of hours, the chlorine level was way down. I don’t know how this salt water system works, only that it’s supposed to make chlorine, but I’m getting the distinct impression it’s not making any, period. There was no indication on the test strip that there is any chlorine in the pool, both before and after I added the shock, so I don’t know what’s up with that. I also got out the weed-whacker and the lawn mower, did some more post-hurricane palm frond pickup, then ran around the worst parts of the yard to tidy it up. Isn’t quite ready for a full mow again yet, but it all looked better by the time I got done. Meanwhile, in Houston, Glenn was doing somewhat better, though his body is in a bit of shock with the enormity of the surgery, but evidently that’s normal at this point. Should improve over the next few days. Got back to camp, fixed a leaky spigot in the barn, pulled some more ragweed (no mowers are coming in until all the palm fronds are picked up, not just here but in all the contracted properties!), so the weeds are starting to get a bit out of hand. Lola was very frisky all day today, no doubt the cooler temps have something to do with that. Cool enough for me to put the fireplace on this evening! Looking forward to a nice cool night with fresh air coming into the bedroom window tonight! Time for shower and bed, early again, especially now that the days are getting shorter in a hurry. Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
