I apologize for not updating this blog beginning December 2017 and lasting until February 2018.  I had a series of swimming pool problems:

• Main pool motor lost its high speed winding’s.  I had to order and replace the motor.
• The pool suction line was partly blocked.  It took 3 days to clean out.
• The pool had to be completely drained (about every 7 years) because the water was too contaminated to accept new chemistry.
• Pool filter needed to be cleaned.
• Pool putty had to be applied to pool cracks which appeared above the water line.

I do all, my own, pool repairs and maintenance.

Then I had a long-lasting cold.

I hope I can now pay more attention to this blog.
