So, over the past 72 hours, we’ve dumped 11 gallons of liquid chlorine in the pool. It’s slightly better – you can see the bottom of the deep end, but it’s still murky-ish – but when we test the water there is zero chlorine floating around in there.
Not only that, but one of the chlorine bottles tipped over in the trunk and leaked all over my favorite brown corduroy jacket. We did some emergency surgery and cut off the pocket that had a big hole in it to prevent more damage to the rest of the jacket, but there are other, smaller holes and it bleached the brown completely away in various random places. It’s years old, and Land’s End doesn’t have them listed on their website. I could maybe patch up the holes and put on new pockets, but it will never be the same. <sniffle> A search online turned up this jacket. It doesn’t come in chocolate brown, it’s expensive, and it might make me look shorter than I already am, but it’s a very pretty jacket, and, well, you can’t have too many jackets when you live in Rochester.
That was a super jacket!
