huffed and puffed and blew the pool cover off

Oct 6, 2023

When you hire someone to build a deck around your pool that’s never built a pool deck, you might have trouble with the cover. I looked outside and saw Perry and Mr. Pesky’s hard work thwarted — the cover blown back with half or more of the pool exposed.

The good news is, the crappy water and leaves on top of the cover didn’t get inside the pool and contaminate the water. The bad news is, leaves are falling in there now and the pump is already packed away for winter. Oh well! The puppies thought it was an intruder the way it was flapping. 🙂

Feels like fall and looks like late summer.

Fall temps are here to stay throughout the weekend, but very few leaves have turned colors so far.

I’ve had the windows open — ALL OF THEM — all day. Nearing evening, it’s starting to feel a bit brisk in here and I’ll betcha the Pesky neighbors have their heat on already.

Now you know: In his old age, Marlon Brando spent hours in AOL chatrooms having political arguments with strangers. His account was often banned for telling people to “fuck off”.
