Heatwave coming on. Can you say POOL? What are you up to today?

I'm glad they finally opened the pool here. I've been swimming the last couple of days (it's been in the 80s F) and will be in the 90s later today. Right now (Noon) it's 83. I may cycle a bit while it's still "cool," and then hit the pool in the late afternoon. Horse Jr.'s mom, who is quite controlling, wouldn't let him swim when it was in the 80s. But she told me Monday that she'd allow him to swim today, if it hit the 90s as predicted. What are you up today? How's the weather where you live?

Right now our weather is comfortably in the 70's after being in the 80's and humid the week before. Makes sense as I put up the a/c on Sunday Come next week it will be upper 80's to low 90's so the heat will be on! The pool sounds nice, it beats a bunch of fans

@thelme55 When I was in Germany a few years ago, the land (away from the beautiful mountains) reminded me of the American Midwest.

Even as I type this I’m on the patio at Mark’s Feed Store, enjoying barbecue chicken sammiches. Wednesday tournament later. And I figured you know Dire Straits’ “Twisting By the Pool,” so.....

Pool sounds alright. It is just a little cooler here, in the low 80's but the humidity is way up. I did a lot of cleaning and now I am just relaxing in the AC.

We had our first dry day in about two weeks. I finally got to mow the yard. It has been a bit warm, but that's okay. (Our warm is 65 degrees.) Looking forward to a couple of dry days, then the rain might return on Saturday. I need to paint a couple of outside walls. Not looking forward to that.

How many dry days do you need before you can do an outside wall?

@TheHorse You know, I have not looked into that. The way it rains here, one feels they have to jump on any opportunity. But it is a question that I think would be good to have an answer to. I know that we have to wait until temps get above the mid 50's but even that is difficult here sometimes.

@TheHorse According to what comes up, I only need to wait only one day but must make certain there is no water on the surface of the wall. Thanks for the suggestion. Yesterday was dry so, I guess I drag the painting stuff out and go to work. sigh, I hate painting walls by hand.

It has to be 85 or higher for a few days in a row or it’s too cold for me. That’s great that she’s letting him swim today.

His mom might whisk him away to somewhere. I think she's worried I'm going to turn him into a political moderate.

From Sunday we expect a heat wave, today is a lot warmer than yesterday. It is 23º C here today (73 F), I do not think we will go over 28º C (82 F) even the next week.

I researched it. Pools are an OK place to be, so long as social distancing is observed and there's adequate chlorine in the pool.

We do not have the luxury. If we want to swim then we have to use the portable plastic pool.

@TheHorse our foldable pool fits the porch. That's where we set it up. But it is not easy because the pool has to be inflated then filled with water that takes more than 2 hours.
