Nicest Feature of New Pool?

Intex finally figured out the "vacuum."  All the pools we owned before this made the vacuuming a nightmare.  You had to take out the skimmer basket, soak the vacuum and the tube in the water, and then quickly flip it over and insert it in the skimmer basket holder, hoping that you didn't let enough air in the system to stall the filter pump (and it often did!).  And then it only did a so-so job of sucking stuff off the bottom of the pool.  The new "vacuum" doesn't vacuum at all.  It's a hose attachment, shooting a targeted stream of water into a simple little gauze bag you tie onto the contraption.  So you get the power of the hose and the bag catches everything that the stream shoots into it.  Very slick, very easy, very non-stressful.  Kudos, Intex.  That puppy works!

An awful lot of your puppy posts aren't actually about puppies. I just thought someone should tell you.

The paucity of my vocabulary is lamentable - especially when I happen to be excited about something... The other day a "freaking" even slipped into a marriage homily. Lord, have mercy.

Cindi tells me it was another word - very similar, but not THAT one.

I like the puppies. You never know what will be a puppy over here. The gray hairs: puppies. Who saw that coming? Next thing you know lamentable paucities of vocabulary will be puppies.

I am sure that wedding sermon will stand out in the memories of its hearers like few others. :D

Rebekah, the mention of the gray hairs is very rude... ;)

My Dad didn't have gray hair - he told us he was going blond again, like he was as a kid!

BTW, speaking of puppies, pools - our condo pool has ducks! A pair of mallards have taken up residence. You can see pictures on my FB page. (Am I stretching it to relate everything?)Needless to say, the HOA did not open the pool last weekend.
