The War of Pools Carries On

Tweet

If you wanted to know, the war is still on with our pool. It's getting to be a lighter shade of green. I think. Or I'm just trying to convince myself. It's been a hot area of contention for both the wife and I. She wants to drain it. I am considering bulldozing it. Dynamite has also been considered—luckily, they don't sell it on Amazon. I've searched it. I'm trying to keep a good sense of humor about it. Such as hearing Joe Jackson's song from the 80s, "Is She Really Going Out with Him." I have re-written the lyrics. Hell, I might even put it to the notes and record it. Sort of a Weird Al take of sorts, hey? Dirty water's not doin' the ga-reening to my pool. From the testing I'm doin' says my water is good. Look on the strip (there), all my chemicals are cool. Still colored green, strug-glin', but doin' what I'm told. Will my water ever be blue again? What's it really gonna take to make it right? Will my water ever be blue again? 'Cause if this pool ain't blue soon, there's someone gonna snap around here. I will keep you posted on the progress, or non-progress, however you want to classify it. I think one of our member friends here on myLot, @BACONSTRIPSXXX, works for United Rentals. Maybe they rent bulldozers? I might get in touch with him soon. Will they deliver? Worst case, I still have some contacts from a few quarries I sold to before I retired. I am sure they might have a stick or two of dynamite they can mysteriously lose track of. Wish me luck.
