The pool!

Ah, summertime brings hot weather and time to open the pool.  The pool is twenty two years old.  I do the summer cleaning and take care of the chemicals.  Bob helps me open and close it.  It is really a short season here.  We open in June and are ready to close in mid August.  When the nights get cold the water temp goes right down and the only way anyone wants to enter it is with a wet suit.  Usually when we open and close it we get in a disagreement.  He has his ideas and I have my ideas on how to do it, never the same ideas though.  We give each other the look and walk away disgusted, then the snickering starts, next comes the laughter, then we figure out how "we" are going to do it.  We tell each other every year we are not going to argue over the pool, and yet, we do yearly.  What are we going to do when there is no more pool?....
