Brother Dick, LTD

Finally, the pool is up and running.   Last year, Brother Dick and his better half moved down here from the Frigid Frozen Tundra ...  and soon pulled the trigger on a pool to be put in.  Problem is .. ... the Wuhan Syndrome.  Getting supplies, manpower, you name it....  affects just about everything we do. In my personal line of work, we've seen six to nine month delays due to a single cable or connector on  $1M systems; it's crazy.  Anyways...  things slowed down, then sped up, then .....  FINISHED!  Was time for some swimming!  With the water temps in the low 80s, outside temp upwards of 90...   was a perfect day to break it in.  Well, sort of.... it's been running for some time now, but Lucy and I finally got our butts over there.

Got to admit, it's a beauty.  That back waterfall is upwards of 40' long .  Beautiful  travertine pavers around the whole pool area.  The plaster has a beautiful blue tint with sparkles in it (I'm sure there's a term for it.. but... sparkles it is!)   Anyways, the ladies are soon floating away in it and we joined them.  Cold Beers.... led to a few top shelf margaritas.  Soon brother Dick is flipping some burgers and bacon wrapped veggies.  Awesome day.  

When I posted a few pics on social media , Dick's response?    "Living the Dream. Happily retired."  Perfecto!  LTD ....  what it's all about.

Well, we've got another pool on our horizon to be built down by the Gulf Coast.  And, it eerily looks similar to this one.  I guess great minds, think alike?
