Poolside

Well hello from the dungeon!
Tim was over a little while ago at my house and he was assisting me with cleaning my pool. I was vacuuming while he was skimming the top. He made a comment and I came up with this:
5 Ways to use a Pool Skimmer

5. Might as well get the most obvious one out of the way...to use it for it's original and real purpose, to actually skim the top of the pool and collect the dirt and leaves and whatever else is floating around in the pool.

4. Instead of using an actual butterfly net to catch butterflies, the skimmer will work just the same. And on those nights where the pesky mosquito's or black flies are out, you can just swing the skimmer on the pole all around you and I am sure you'll either distract or net a whole bunch of pesky bugs.

3. Since it's on a telescopic pole, you wait till your neighbor has people over and they all go insided for a minute, you can then extend the pole to it's full length and use the skimmer to net some free drinks and maybe even food from your neighbor, one can only hope they may even have a couple cold 'unopened' brewskies there too!

2. Instead of trying to 'permanently borrow' from your neighbor's, you could actually have some fun with them. This would require of them to have a pool or have at least a pool skimmer (why they would have one without having a pool is beyond me) and the two of you could play catch with a tennis ball over the fence while you are both in your separate pools. To take this a step farther, each of you make water balloons and have piles of them around your separate backyards. The skimmers are then used as your catapults and you try to get each other over the fence without looking through or over it, sorta a battleship type of game but you can do continual rapid fire at each other until you are both soaked.

1. Does everyone remember the Kraft Dinner commercials where the two guys in the dorm turn up the heat in the dorm they are in(I won't mention the reasons as of why they do it...). Well, an addition to that would be a pool skimmer. "How?" you ask. Well, after cooking their noodles, they need a way to drain out the boiling water, so all they have to do is pour them in the pool skimmer and since it is on a telescopic pole, open up the window and extend the pole outside and air out the noodles quickly. My suggestion for this is to make sure no one is below you because I doubt it that they would enjoy the ambulance ride to the hospital or the burning sensation on their skin.

That's all from the pool side,

Peace!
