I Can't Clean

The dog pool is up for the season. God the dogs love to lay and play in this pool.


I can no longer pick up the edge and dump it.....so....I siphoned it yesterday, cleaned it gently with a string mop instead of scrubbing on all fours, and filled it again with minimal stress on my back. I'm learning to protect my spine.

I siphoned the water off the jeep tarp too. Usually I would just muscle the water to the edge and create a giant waterfall. Saved by back again.

My old golf cart has been pulled from the well house and is being converted into a small hauler for stuff around the yard like spray tanks, scuba tanks, coolers, camping stuff, etc. More attempts at reasoning with my back.

I may try and mount the pressure washer on the cart soon to blast off the deck and patio.

I think we all take our backs for granted until something happens like what happened to you. I'm going to start being more careful.

Lucy has a pool like your dogs' pool. It's not quite warm enough here yet to fill it up.
