Holy crap it's hot here!!!
Now that is all hindsight ...Get the beer, unpack, have fun...turn up the AC, and have a great weekend! Welcome to AZ and enjoy

Thanks guys..

Already have the beer. Got the kegerator set up and bought a keg at a liquor store yesterday. Never did that before- in Ohio I just went to the distributor and bought em. Apparently here in AZ the distributors aren't allowed to sell to the general public. Whatever, it was cheaper here anyways!

Finally got the pool water balanced decent enough. sooo warm! I had to run my heater quite a bit in OH to get the water into the upper 80's. I think my pool here is around 90!

I don't think I'll ever get tired of these mountain views though! Just breathtaking.

Ohio must have a borderline totalitarian alcohol/liquor policy like Pennsylvania. You can only buy at distributors and specially licensed stores (like pizza joints). Even alcohol and liquor/wine have to be sold in seperate places. I was used to Michigan and Illinois where booze can be purchased anywhere: Wal-Mart, Liquor Stores, gas stations, etc.

Enjoy livin' in AZ. I can't wait till I get out there come July!

Welcome to Fountain Hills!!!. Actually it's a few degrees cooler than a lot of places in the valley. Wait until October or so and you will love it!

Good luck, my son and daughter in law are going to be nearby you in one month. Let us know if you find a way to keep a pool cool short of throwing an ice truck into it?
