Speaking of getting my rock on, pool temp yesterday was 83, just
beautiful. Having some peeps over to swim, quaff a few porters, play
some music, etc.

Brrrr.

Bath water temperature. Too warm for my taste.

Our pool is 70 right now, the kids have been swimming for a week

When Lake Erie gets into the upper 70's it is no longer refreshing on
a hot day.

Do you heat your pool or use a solar cover?- Hide quoted text -

Solar cover here in CT. Extends the season by a few weeks on either
end. Well worth it.

My BIL (when he had a pool) also used a solar cover........a very
efficient way to heat the pool.

Kids.......hell, they will jump into and enjoy splashing in 60 degree
water anyway.

At 62 degrees, I wear a shorty suit while surfing. And that is about the
minimum temp I will use a shorty in. When I used to skin dive and scuba, I
had 1/4 farmer john suit and I still got cold in the 55 degree Pacific.

The only time I've ever been "cold" was on a ice dive while training
for ice rescue. The course was up at Lake Champlain and the ice was
about two foot thick. We went in with full dry suits, Gore-tex long
Johns, sweat shirt/pants and electric socks - still froze my ass off.

Man that was cold. However walking upside down under the ice more
than made up for it. :)

I can say that one other time, I was literally knocked out senseless
at Lake Alexander in Dayville, CT. Dive team drill/body recovery
drill thing. What none of us knew was there was a spring in the
deepest part of the lake and that was our search area - 30 feet under
tow we hit that spring and the temp dropped 20 degrees instantly.

I swear I almost passed out. :)

Yeh, but you grew up in cold weather. I grew up 10 blocks from San
Francisco Bay. 29 degrees was about the lowest I ever saw where I grew up.
Thinner blood.

Who is "we'? I was born in Connecticut, and spent all of my springs,
summers, and early falls living along the shore. So did a lot of other
people. I never heard that term. My "bestest" boyhood chum lives near
Pond Point, Milford, in a nice old Victorian, and I'll bet he never
heard that term, either. He's a native of Waterbury, went to Brown in
Rhode Island, and lived most of his life along the shoreline there.

I thought you lived way inland, far away from the Sound.
