This pool has been a catch all and had beautiful green water. I did find two nice size frogs, not big enough to supply frog legs, but on their way. I made a tour of the internet looking for advice, the best I received was check the ingredients on “Shock” as compared to Clorox or other bleach. One guy had put 14 gallons of Clorox in his. So being a cheap skate, I bought seven, five liter jugs. I have been fishing leaves and garbage off the bottom today. I poured four jugs into the water. Now it is sort of a blue green. Ha!
If anyone has any good advice please let me know. Oh, I did have to take the frogs out, the Clorox was too much for them, they staggered off, I hope they made it to the woods before the hawk got them.
Ohhhhh, NEWS! Our Grandsons, Steve and Josh (WHO JUST HAPPEN TO BE TWINS) cut, burned, made their first album over the weekend. They rented the ‘Rushing Winds’ recording studios for two days. I love the sound, but I cannot hear all (or many), frequencies.
They did 10 original songs; five secular and Five Religious. Steve wrote most of the songs, but I think two of them are from Josh. Steve does a fantastic guitar and Josh tickles the ivories. I love to hear him, but I am not much for knowing good music, but Shirl is. She says Josh is fantastic on the piano. Steve was bragging on one of Josh’s runs. Repeating , Gary the owner and technician, he said, “ that sounds like a lot of Chopin and modern mix.” Steve said on the one run Josh must have hit every key on the board.

Steve still in contume also.

Steve on the guitar and Sherry's 'Harris Reunion'. Dad, Jack and Josh are singing along.
I love to hear the guys brag on one another. They are fantastic personalities and musicians. And of course, best friends. Anyway that is my big news for today from North Carolina.

I was once caught up (by accident) in a riot, on the European side. It was a tough dance to do in a Swabbie uniform, couldn’t hide too well wearing whites! Hahaha!

Nice lookin' young men. You and Sherry must be very proud. As for the pool I have no idea, I've never had one just wished a lot.
when we had a pool, we used Shock and it was effective but when our pool got that green color you were describing (long story) I finally broke down and called a pool cleaner guy. I can't remember what they did and how they did it, but shortly the pool was restored to its crystal blue color. I know we had to run the pump a lot to circulate stuff
good luck with it
talented young men your grands are! good for them with their musical talent :)
betty
I think it's great that you and Sherry have children's children that are so talented! May the lord keep His great big hand upon them and guide them in life's choices. Tell me where to send my money for the CD!
As for the pool - one of Frances' sister's found a cure for their difficulties ... they put seven yards of dirt in the pool and planted flowers ☺
So nice, that your Grandsons are enjoying their musical talents. Are either of them or both, planning on making a living at it? Tough, but they are so mature already for their age, it seems and God Will Guide their choices.
Good luck with the pool, I'd say Pool Shock but I'm not a pro, except for the big vinyl pool.
If all else fails, follow the directions on the package...lol Have a great time at that graduation party and enjoy those handsome dudes of honor.
I'm off to 'shock' a few gophers and moles.

Oh, Jack, I love, Love, LOVE your new header.

My son's in the pool and palm business in MS. If y'all still need pool advice, I could put you in touch with him.
IT'S SO GOOD FOR GIRLS AND BOYS TO BE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. sam
