It’s a day for chores. First a trip to hardware stores to get supplies. Then weed whacking as much as I can stand – the new electric whacker has about a 45 minute limit, so I use that to time my breaks. Next, experimenting with cleaners, acid, and scrubbers to try and get the mineral deposits off the pool tile. I’d love it if acid took the scum off, but…so far it hasn’t. I have a feeling it will come down to muscle and pumice stones, unfortunately.

It’s a beautiful day and I’d rather be playing golf, but…duty calls. Happy Friday.
