Spring is fickle around here. We have a few days with temps in the 80s and it really gets ppl going. But today it's 59 for the high. Yeah. Takes them awhile to remember that it's still early spring, lol. The big push now at work is to get our outdoor pool ready for use in the next 8 days. That's the desire of our GM. In this area, outdoor pool season is traditionally Memorial Day to Labor Day. Now, it could go longer in Sept. 'cause of the weather, but bringing it in early is kinda dicey. Like one day it's 85 and the next it's 60. That kinda dicey. Another thing is the availability of guards, who're usually h.s. and college students. School usually limits their involvement outside of those dates.
So we're working on getting the pool ready for use. Don't know what'll happen with it, if anyone will really even be out on the deck with the weather changing the way it is. We'll have to see. Actually, I already know what'll happen, seen it before, but it'll take management a bit longer to figure it out.
As for the Icelandic volcano who's name few can pronounce, that's interesting. Closed virtually every airport in northern Europe. I've constantly heard it referred to as the "Icelandic volcano". I was listening to NPR the other day and they had someone from Iceland say the name of the volcano. Haha, it'll take a bit of practice to master that name.
