I bet that levels out the electric bill when you turn the A/C off.
Do you keep it covered?

No, too much aggravation. We used a bunch of those inflatable solar
disks one year. They did make a difference but had serious durability
issues in addition to being dirt collectors.

Much as I like having the pool heated it has to go off in January and
February. The heat pump just can't keep up in cool weather. If I had
my druthers I'd be in the Caribbean that time of year.

Wayne I'm surprised you're not already making plans?

Maybe you are. Lol!

Don and Henk have convinced me to man up and jump in the water. I am
OK today at 75 and I turned the solars on so that will go up a bit
tomorrow.
I have to remember our (privately built) pool in Maryland seldom got
over 70 when I was a kid.

75 F ?? That would be considered bath water up here.
It seldom gets any better.

Yes, same with Lake Ontario and we used to spend a lot of time in the
water as kids. But that was then and this is now. I've even swum in
60 degree water off the coast of Maine but that's just crazy.

That is what Henk was telling me. The kids are the same way. Lake
Michigan was 69.4 in August.

Maybe next year. I'm still hoping to get to Cuba one of these days. I
now have insurance that will cover me there and the regulations keep
easing up.

I have been to Gitmo a couple times and that was all the Cuba I need
for a while. Maybe when the Castros are gone and Marriott takes over
I might go. I don't want to say the wrong thing and end up in prison.
