Happy Monday, friends 😉 Wishing you all a lovely week 🌱🏵️

Six weeks after daylilies started blooming here, this is the last lonely orange one at our house in northwest Georgia (zone 8a)

📍 Fitness Central East Gym · United States 🌤️ 91°F ★★★★★ Fitness Central East swimming pool - my usual spot for lunchtime laps during the work week (a very short walk from my office) 🏢🏊 #swimming https://beaconbits.app/beacon/zhsbe63mq2msrtaxgix7g73y/3mquffkpvxs2f #BeaconBits

View of outdoor swimming pool at Fitness Central East fitness club in Chattanooga, Tennessee (USA) on a partly cloudy summer afternoon. The near side of the swimming pool is used for lap swimming with green lane lines at the surface of the water, and black center lines on the bottom of the pool visible through the clear water. The far side of the pool is used for leisure and water aerobics, without lane lines. Green lounge chairs are located throughout the gray pool deck area. Charcoal gray walls of the fitness club building are located adjacent to the pool area. Trees and a neighboring office building are visible in the background.

Rainy days are great for having the swimming pool to myself during lunchtime laps 🌧️🏊

Outdoor swimming pool at a fitness club on a rainy afternoon. Multiple lap lanes divided by green and yellow lane dividers. Black lane center lines on the bottom of the pool are blurred due to raindrops hitting the surface of the water. The pool is empty of swimmers and sun bathers. Surrounding the pool are lounge chairs, a charcoal gray building with large windows on the right, tall trees in the background, and an overcast sky. A basketball hoop and various pool amenities are visible on the deck.

I saw something similar at DeSoto State Park a couple weeks ago - white flower with purple center.

🎼 Summertime, and the livin's easy 🎶🎵☀️😎 Summertime Lemon Wheat is What's Cooking (Brewing) here 🍽️🍺 - getting into the summer groove with Bavarian wheat malt, German Hallertau hops, crystalized lemon, and American ale yeast 🌾🍋 Cheers! 🍻

Summertime Lemon Wheat homebrewed ale in a tall clear glass sitting on a wooden porch railing, with a yard, woods, and partly cloudy sky in the background. The color of the ale is medium gold with a hazy appearance and frothy white head.

What Android setting(s) do I need to adjust to use @beaconbits.app? The compass icon appears to be disabled, and trying to use a photo to create a beacon gives a "no location found" error.

Fitness club keeps the pool too hot (85°F/29°C), and I felt off during lunchtime laps today 🥵 Heavy rain in the middle of my set cleared out the water aerobics class, calming some waves 🌊 I stopped tracking interval times (vibe swimming?) and it was sunny again when I finished 3,000 yards 🏊😎

it's a rare occasion to see the pool and pool deck empty this time of year - usually only on days when the weather is less than ideal

Yes, a fellow Swedish goggles wearer! 😉 Is this like the bungee you mentioned? I picked this up a while back but hadn't used it yet. I tried it today (another sunny day 🌞) and it worked fine. I might have to check what other colors are available.

Broken strap on my dark-tinted mirrored Swedes 😭 Sunny day for laps in the outdoor pool, made extra bright by light-tinted back-up goggles 🌞🏊 Wishing for cloudy days until I can get a replacement strap 😆
