Water, water and dishwasher

Today, after probably at least 6 months of no water pressure, I called the water department.  It seems that the pressure reduction valve (PRV) was bad.  I have full pressure again.  I have completely forgotten how nice that was.  It's kind of been like camping.  This afternoon I ran the dishwasher and flushed the toilet at the same time.  TMI?  Sorry.

My dishwasher roller thingy on the right front side (closest to the stove) is broken.  I think this is the same one that was replaced in September but I have contacted Concho Valley Appliance and they are going to order me another one and send Homer back.  HOW do I know that it was September and that Homer was the one who came last time and that the part number is 8539128?  Because I kept the receipt.  Sometimes I surprise myself.

AND, joy of joys, my pool is ready.  The water temp is about 83/84.  I had Joey and Carolyn take the cover off Monday evening so I could vacuum and add algaecide and let little sweeper thingy do it's thing.  Sweeper thingy is not working very well, but I think it is because it needs a new net.  I have scrubbed and scrubbed the algae and it is looking so much better.  All but about 6 leaves are gone.  When I dip the pool tester stick, all of the colors are pretty and in the right ranges.  I just love that.  I am going to keep scrubbing as often as I can to get rid of any remaining algae.  Joey said he might scrub some today and I did notice that he had his fancy-smancy goggles out so that is a good sign.

Shoulder still hurts from what I think is a rotator cuff muscle injury from Pooh.  I am going to get a massage tomorrow and I am hoping that will do the trick.  I really don't want to have to pay for any doctor's visits, MRIs, xrays, etc.
