Summer comes to a close ....

Sigh ....  I LOVE Summers.  Always have, always will. As a kid, grew up near the ocean (Cali', Guam, Hawaii). Military days, lot of time at the ocean, especially when stationed in Panama. And in that mix..... ton's of swimming pools, everywhere.  I've always been a pool freak my whole life and continue today.  We've had our own pool for 29 years and ... always will, God willing.  Hell, new home we're prepping to build ... we already have the pool 99% planned out and we haven't even selected whom is going to put it in yet.

Last few days, been milking it ... pool here in Tejas is about 85 water temp which is a notch chilly at first (go figure!).  Outside temps in the low 90s this week.  Next week, we creep into the 80s outside.   I'm guessing by next weekend, I'll be rethinking hanging out in the pool.... but I know I'll hang in there until the water is into the 70s and outside temps... as well.

On a positive note, we do a lot of time in MS where....  the pool has a heater.  So, if its sunny outside, temps are 80+ ... just bump the pool temp up a notch and enjoy!   We don't keep it heated, but ... bump it often when the weather cooperates.

Still, almost a lil 'sad' to see the end of the season approaching.  On a positive note, this is our best motorcycle riding coming up.  Great temps, not too hot, minimal rain....  all the way into Dec.  December and January tend to be iffy but still lots of riding opportunities.

As a kid we lived in Guam.  My halfway point in the USAF, we were in Panama.  YEAR ROUND summer weather.   Damned if I don't miss that sometimes.  We've talked about moving back to that tropical environment.. but...  I hate to admit it... there's more to life than just .... 'Summer.'   Or is there? 

Nothing a trip to MX or SoCal can't fix a lil .. but ... by this time next month...  sure I'll be scheming for ...   Tejas Pool weather in '25.

Holding on ...
