The Greatest Pool Net Ever

This week was the Annual Western Pool & Spa Show in Long Beach Ca. I've walked it's aisles for many, many years. It's a great place to see old friends in my industry, to establish new contacts and re-establish old ones. I always make money at these things by getting alot of free samples and by buying products at "Show Specials".

The man selling Pirahna Nets is Eric Resh. He and his brother Brian were in the pool service business near me 10 years ago. Brian left to get into the roofing business and Eric patented his pool net and became a manufacturer. He also teaches History in High School. Both grew up sailing so I took them both out last year for a daysail and had a blast.

I only see Eric a few times a year these days but we always promise to save a day to go sailing again, and yes, he gave me a net.
