Yesterday was
spent running errands in 90 °F weather.
Well, 88 + weather. Errands
mostly completed, it became time to put the pool sweep, an evil-minded device,
into service again. This is always
problematic. We are wrestling with an
antiquated, increasingly crumbly conglomerate of PVC pipes, an over taxed pump
that must now run 24/7 for the season, and the occasional animal that thinks it
can swim all night long.
At 1700 yesterday,
we tied in the new pool blanket. After
running the sweep until it became cantankerous this morning, we put the blanket
into use. The solar heat should now
bring the water temp up to the point where the gas heater becomes more
cost-effective. The last remaining
quirk, that we are aware of, is obtaining sufficient clarity for the heater
optical sensor to keep the gas valve open.
We’ll probably try for ignition on Monday.
As for
pictures, my cell phone captures images quite nicely. The problem still remains what photos go
where. I’m uncomfortable with cloud
storage and I don’t intend to share much of anything to Google circles. The Nexus was developed with no option for
exporting to my local computer files. I
may need to rent an illiterate high school dropout for lessons in communicating
by photos and consensus thinking.
