Spending a few weeks touring around and looking at scenery, castles, ruins, distilleries, beautiful women with pale complexions and reddish-brown hair, eating fish and chips, wishing we golfed, etc. The temperature is in the 60’s and low 70’s. Perfect. Very little rain so far. Just finished the first week of three weeks. (middle finger emoji here!!!!!!!) Justy kidding sounds awesome..have never been!

Patrick Duffy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) my pool water is as warm as bath water. I at least like the water around 85-86 degrees where it will cool you off, my pool water reads 93 and approaching 94 degrees fast. Hope for some rain to cool that ***** off!

When we lived in Hilton Head a Savannah radio station had a contest for 1,000 pounds of ice for your community pool. When the water gets TOO warm it’s nasty. Where we lived in Florida the club pool had some geothermal well to warm it in the winter, but also cool it in the summer. That was AWESOME! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cuss the leaves in fall, but praise the trees this time of year. My pool only gets direct sunlight for 2-3 hours per day. Water temperature stays perfect all summer, though it does take longer than normal to warm up to a comfortable temp in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 It’s 10:15pm and 88 degrees outside. All I need is a pool! I MISS MY POOL! And a hammock inside a lanai/screened porch. Fall is nice, but I know what happens after that! Months and months of nasty! I walked the park and played tennis for about two+ hours a day this week, starting at roughly noon. Temps in the 90’s. Easy to work up a sweat and get limber. What a glorious week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 3 days in the '90s, next 4 days after today all 95+ with humidity...and we got 3 more months of this crap! No freaking sports to watch, reminded every day how fat I am as no sweaters or hoodies to hide behind, watering plants EVERY FREAKING DAY so they don't die, water bills through the yazoo for the lawn....,,, there is just absolutely zero, and I do mean zero, that is redeeming about a Mid Atlantic summer(well, except hot sweaty girls with clingy shirts on the metro). By far the worst 3 months on the calendar just.... get me to freaking September already..Even August and pre season football gives me hope. June and July...urghhhhhhhh it's almost over. no worries, in a couple of weeks you won't be able to wear white again until Memorial Day next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOKIE Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 We've had lots of rain the past two years. Unusually cool temperatures mixed with high temps and extreme humidity. It took me three dips in the pool to finish mowing just now. If I had mowed on Wednesday, I may have worn sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids go back to school in 2 weeks. School started a week ago here! I’ll never get used to that. It’s unnatural to start before Labor Day! It was 92 at the tennis courts today, with a feel like of 103. Glorious, I tell you! To be honest, I only love that heat if I’m meant to sweat, like tennis or yard work. Then? The more sweat the better! I’d MUCH play tennis in 90 degrees than 60. If I’m trying to get from the car to my office without sweating thru a suit in the heat, or into the grocery store?

OK, THAT was pushing it! Frayed strings I thought had about 10 minutes left, but I had backup racquets. The damn things just wouldn’t break! I get them strung at a place in Buckhead next to a place with my favorite tacos in town, so I really wanted them to break! I love taco day! Due to the heat I would have quit after an hour with the backup, but it just wouldn’t break! Just shy of 2 hours feeling like 107 degrees. I need a pool!
