Hello everyone! It was an amazing weather day to ride today sunny and not too hot. There were a lot of bikers out on the trails with us and everyone was very polite and friendly. The cutest family had two little girls that we could tell really wanted to pet the horses so we stopped and let them pet them and feed them some treats. The mom said that this was going to be their favorite thing to tell people about when they got back home and that the girls love horses but don't have any. It was a great day we rode 14.1 miles and crossed several creeks.
 
we're still ice skating!
It's been swimming weather here for 2 months... We're fighting something in my pool currently... Added phosphate eliminator a couple of days ago, now clarifier and shock, still hazy water. Probably getting close to needing to dump for TDS, etc.

I'm considering some muriatic acid to bring the pH down a little.
 
Oh cool man. What're you going after?
sorry for late response. Red snapper is the fish of choice, FWC has made a decent snapper season this year. Hopefully wind and weather will allow me to get out to 15 miles to bring them in. hate anything over 3 foot swell

I don't understand why people install pools up here. the season is so short unless you install a heater then trying to pay for the bill for the heating. neighbor just spent 120k on their pool.

I have used it, and also baking soda to raise it

Snapper is one of my favorites too and fun to catch. Hopefully you guys will see a cobra or two
