I was away for the weekend but last night saw that my 24' AG was 72 (one solar heating pad + solar cover on). I'm going to try to get in today then I will probably take the steps out. I'm not getting as many hours of sunlight as I was during the summer (more shade from the lower sun angle).

I plan to wait a few more weeks until the leaves start to change color before I close it up. It seems that the longer I can wait (and the cooler it gets), then the less liklihood of things growing in there.
