Still mostly sunny. 75/57

Perfect labor day weekend down this way

I was 5 miles from country walk in Kendall, Andrew was amazing but the after effects horrific.

Yessir...I stayed on campus for a couple days, then they closed it and encouraged everyone to go home for a couple weeks. I had to get a ride to FLT airport at 5:00 am thru a curfew. Fun stuff Classes didn't started until later in Sept.

I lived in S Fl for a long while 

they have been exponentially lucky in Broward and South Palm beach county for 50 years . 5-0

So much money along the water. Super wealth 

Do you believe this will expand significantly in size or remain rather small until a possible landfall 

I was in Coral Gables (freshman year at UMiami) for Andrew.  It was crazy, but it isn't too populous as you go south from there.  Can't imagine something close to that into FTL/Boca/West Palm.  Disaster.....

 Is Franklin county going to get missed again?   Multiple towns with water restrictions now. 

Winter precip pattern setting up....

46 here, 44 at TAN. That's some cold August air

77/72....steamy

86/75...lovely

Nice downpour, few rumbles from that dying RI cell. Hopefully a little more this evening

RI cell getting close 

Looks to be heading my way.... we'll see what shape it's in when it get here

80/72

Steamy... Could definitely use some rain in these parts

Looks like we're about to get it good here. One of the only severe chances of SEMA and Bob is on a cruise

Highs were supposed to be mid/upper 80s a couple days ago.  High of 82F so far.  

Even BTV only 83F so far and they looked to have a shot at 90F (this morning’s forecast was for 88F), plus they are usually closer to SNE temps.  

Definitely under-performing by at least 5F across the board up here with 70s and low 80s.

 

low to mid 90s in CT/RI and SEMA

91/73.......... summery

Nice couple days for central AC.......

Install complete.  No more spring install and fall uninstall.  Thanks to [mention=709]butterfish55[/mention] for doing the electrical work.

Spent some quality time in that attic today....good thing it's not humid this summer. It's like buying a snowblower in October, insuring a snowless winter.

Too warm man, don't you want to feel refreshed.  84 pool temp here. I am super jealous of your pool and setup,  gorgeous.  Unfortunately being on a hill my inground options are slim. Put some ice in dat bitch

Lol....I said to my wife we need to get a dozen bags of ice for it. Honestly, it feels amazing. Doesn't feel like a bath at all, very refreshing

 

Pool doesn't care if we hit 100 or not....

92/72

Didn't you hear? HHH was cancelled...try to keep up

This time of year, about six hours per week.
Granted, in another few weeks when the novelty dies down for friends and neighbors, I'll inevitably get lazy and start ignoring it for longer periods.

My pool is salt water, pretty much takes care of itself after balancing in the spring. I toss the robot in every other day to vacuum it. Total maintenance of about 30 minutes per week. I do spend some time on the landscaping and other stuff though

In-ground pool maintenance to enjoyment ratio has to be like 20:1. One cleaning session (skim, vacuum, water test, clear skimmers/pump basket, backwash filter) can last longer than a whole season's cumulative swimming time.

Violently disagree. How much time do you spend maintaining your pool?

Do you find the pool worth it with all the maintenance for a 3 month enjoyment? The woman wants an in-ground for the kids so I bought this to get her off my back:

It's absolutely worth it, imo...I have a heater for it, so I get at least 5 months (may-end of Sept). I have t used the heater since mid June though. It gets lots of sun and is always warm. It's a bit of work and $$$ but I love it.....especially on weekends like this

Pool dropped to 78, high was 85, after this weekend we probably max out for the year,  longer nights less sunlight and angle keep a lid on things. Wonder what a home pool temp is in say a Texas desert with no shade,  upper 90s?

Mine is back up to 85-86 after dropping a bit from the rain.  I'm thinking it should crack 90 by Sunday afternoon.  Going to feel like the beach in Key West.
