Since the sprinklers have been off all winter needed to readjust 100+ drip irrigation emitters.
Pool is 86, outside temp 82, this weekend is the first swim of the season.

Thanks, Ted! That triple trunk looks like an Alexander Palm,
Archontophoenix alexandrae. One of my favs. I have about 6 of them here and 4 of the other species,
Archontophoenix cunninghamiana - the Bangalow or Piccabeen Palm.
Sounds like you have some work to do. here as well. The two hurricanes we had plus early freezes in December took it's toll on a lot but good news is much is in recovery and we have a whole growing season ahead.
On the lighting - I love it. I have a ton of lighting already but there's much room for improvement. Hard to beat low-voltage LED stuff - so easy to spice in whatever you want and change it out as needed.
These latest LEDs I used came from Amazon. A 16 pack for $143:

Using sections of PVC pipe for a housing has worked out great! I feel I'm still at a very early design stage and will continue to make improvements with time. It's a lot of fun to play with this stuff.
Enjoy your swim today - perfect temps!
