The weather report remains spectacular!

The pool is a warming up to 75 this Thursday morning.

Burgers will go on the grill Friday around 6:00 due to the earlier sunsets.

We'll try and remember to pick up a Power Ball ticket for Friday. Wouldn't that be a great way to sign off on this years Happy Hour season. Remember, all welcome adult friends in attendance for the winning Happy Hour will share equally in a split when we hit! Not here? Sorry.

Water should be about 80 for the weekend!

Here's what we're thinking

Whereas; we have a pretty darned good forecast starting Wednesday running through Sunday.
Whereas; we had a lousy swimming September.
Whereas; we would like to have a final Happy Hour this year.

We do proclaim 10/07/11 as a Happy Hour day.

If I can get the heater fired up I'll turn it on Wednesday and try to warm the pool enough for a swim through the weekend.

The usual crowd is welcome 10/5 - 10/9 through the day and up untill about dark. You might have to do a little leaf netting while your swimming.

Later Wednesday and in the following days I'll post the water temp so you know whether a wetsuit or a bikini is the better choice.

Let's hope the forecast holds true!

September goes out with a chilly wet Friday

Looks like another weather related Happy Hour shutout this Friday. High of 54 and showers!?! The last part of September is usually a great time to swim laps. Warm afternoons keep the pool at a good lap swim temp. Alas, not this year.

We may, I hate to say it, close the pool soon. The 10 day forecast calls for a high of 72 on 10/4 and 65 for that Friday. We'll keep an eye on how temp are trending. It appears 10/5 might offer a slight chance for HH. I'll update as we get closer.

All in all a good swim summer. We greatly enjoyed the Happy Hours and the company for weekend and week day swims. Your friendship is much appreciated.

Just to see what happened, I did purchase a PowerBall and Mega ticket for last weekend with no Happy Hour scheduled. Once again nothing - zero - zilch.

Looking like a NO GO for Happy Hour 9/23

The weather report is cool and rainy for this Friday. Maybe next Friday?

We had a great time on Kelleys Island for the Poker Paddle of 9/17. Wind kicked up a bit and they had to adjust the route to avoid the worst of the waves. From the beach at the State Park to the NW corner of the island we hit some 2 to 2 1/2 footers starting out. The rest of the paddle was pretty easy until we got back to the NW corner and back to the beach. This time we saw several 3 footers and what we think were a couple 4 footers. Yikes! Paddle hard and don't stop!

We saw Mary Beth Fulton and Kelley O'Toole on Kelleys Island. Met Kelley's husband Mike. Had a good time talking to them and had a few drinks together.

Wonderful days for a bike ride on Sunday so we paddled Saturday and peddled Sunday.

Big thanks to Brien and Chris for helping with Loki. It was obvious he was well cared for.

Below are some pictures from the the Low Country Boil of September 4.
