For the past couple days, I have been attempting to get our above ground pool up and going. It has been a semi-daunting task in that an empty pool in Oklahoma wind is like trying to put socks on an infant.  Lots of movement, little success.  However, I was able to get the pool up and began filling it up yesterday evening.  

Now it takes quite a while to fill up the pool so I just left it and went about my business.  Later that evening, in fact around midnight, I decided to go and check to see how it was doing.  Filling up just fine, but I was left with a quandary:  do I let the water run through the night and risk the pressure of the water pushing the hose out of the water and just running all over the yard or just turn it off and wait until the morning.  Turn it off

So I turned around and... wait there is an important part of this story I haven't shared yet.
