Solar heater? === Heat pump. 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. |

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. |

That would be considered bath water up here. It seldom gets any better. |

I've even swum in 60 degree water off the coast of Maine but that's just crazy. |

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. |

Lol! === 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. They used to try to make the place tolerable for sailors and families. I was there for 6 weeks after a fram job on my floating hotel. Time flew by pretty quickly because they kept us pretty busy with training exercises. The first time I ever saw an iguana was at the EM club. He or she would walk from table to table mooching food scraps. Not a bad time but Things have changed. Remember the cattle car? -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
