So, I got this robot (Clanker) and .... well .... it has a D&D ending ....
Message:
Working the new (old) house which has a pool for the old bones. One of the tasks you do for pools is brush the sides to break loose the algae to allow the filter and chlorine to do it's job.
To simplify the process, I added a WIRELESS robot to the pool Amazing technology.
Problem is, if you do too thorough a job, the algae will eat all the chlorine. Knock too much off and you get a cloudy pool. Of course you want it off to keep the pool clean.
When the algae eats all the chlorine, it gets cloudy. This was per the plan.
I shocked it and ran the robot. When I got up in the morning, I couldn't see the robot on the bottom of the pool to retrieve it. (First World problems.)
Well, like any good D&Der I broke out the 10 foot pole and searched the pool for the missing robot.
It's not as easy as it is in the game. Small pool. small robot.
I don't know if it's coincidence but it returned to place I dropped it in.
I'm thinking of adding a tail to the robot with a ping pong ball at the end.
What an age we live in.
Yours,
