Day 1 –
This pool is a test. This is only a test. If this had been an acutal pool, it would have come with a pool man… Or a pool woman… Or a pool kid… Or even a skimmer with a pole…
Day 2 –
Why does the water in the pool look like it was put there by a herd of incontinent horses?
Day 3 –
The leak seems to have abated a bit.. I wonder if there is a way to apply a patch under water… I have invented a way in my mind… All I need is a large tupperware container, some glue, some gasket material, a saw and some duct tape…
Judy just got home and asked me if the leak has stopped… It’s more of a long damp streak now…
Day 4 –
I just tested the new skimmer with the four’ telescoping handle… I skimmed up three dead grasshoppers, four leaves and some other as yet unknown type of bug… I’m excited…
Day 5 –
I have discovered that there are actually two deep ends of the pool… There seems to be some sort of hump in the middle… I wonder if it’s one of the horses… Serves it right…
Day 6 – The filter has been running for four days straight… Two and a half days with chlorine … The water doesn’t seem quite as yellow this morning… Seems to have a slightly greenish tinge to it… Does anybody know if that’s a good thing?
I put a second gallon of chlorine into the pool… I may have to actually get into the thing tomorrow to test it out…
Day 7 – I got into the puddle at about 11:00 PM and swam around (yes, I figured a way to swim in circles) for about 20 minutes.
And yes, I wore swim trunks.
Day 8 – Turned the filter back on. Added a little more water… Must be because I was thirsty at the time.
