    I almost had to dive in a pool covered by a sheet of ice today because we thought the main drain may be leaking. Luckily, the machine we use to see if it is actually leaking told me that it was holding at the moment... water is just below the light, so I am hoping it is either there or just in the main drain line where it reaches that level on its way to the pump. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to that kind of dive anytime soon, even with my dry suit and the extra $80/hr I get for diving. I hate the cold.

    I can’t wait for Galveston Island to be gone in thirty years. Let’s see now, they told me that in 1973 (same Global Warming morons) that means it’s still here as of 2003. As of 2017 it’s still exactly the same.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.

    The worst by far that I remember here was the winter of 79 I think it was ,with daily lows at or near -40 for over a week. I spent much of that time underneath my parents laundrymat ( they were on vacation) with a salamander just trying to keep water flowing and save the pipes. It never hit the -50 mark that I've seen twice ( and never want to again) but it -40 every freakin morning. I don't want to exagerate but I'm not certain it ever hit zero over an 8 or 10 day strech.

    Yeah that sounds COLD. No way to drain it automatically?

    We had milder and milder winters starting in the 80's through 2000 or a little longer and then they started getting worse again. Still not quite the winters of my youth but getting close. I think the big global warming cover up by both sides is that neither side really knows what the hell is going on
    1) Long term weather cycle
    2) Man induced climate chage
    3) A lot of #1 and a little of #2

    I can't find the leak if it's not leaking. She is actually going to have to fill it up this spring so that I can go back and find the leak. But at least she knows it won't empty out over the winter. Around here, with the water tables, you don't want a completely empty pool for any length of time.

    The main drain I referenced is actually not a drain, per se, but just a suction point that takes water from the very bottom of the pool back to the pump/filter.

    I'm pleased to report that it hit -6 this morning and my engine block heater for my wrangler performed flawlessly; went out, unplugged the heater, got into the jeep, turned on the ignition and it started like like i'd just shut it off seconds ago; had heat by the end of my driveway (it's a long, uphill driveway). Supposed to get down to -12 tonight, so we'll see if my rooster hasn't turned into a frozen statue!
