Pete H Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 22 hours ago, The Dude said: I don't know about you, but I actually enjoy taking care of a pool, vacuuming, treating, etc.. I do as well after getting 2 things in the last few years. 1. Mesh safety cover for the winter, easy on, easy off no more water bags. 2. My Dolphin auto vac ( I should have gotten one of these 10 years ago). i actually don't spend much time at all regarding maintenance with the exception of a few hours when I open and close and monitoring my levels which stay pretty constant after dialing them in the first 24 hours after opening, but I'm really particular about water balance and laugh when I stop by my local pool supply and hear all the people complaining about their pool water and spending hundreds of dollars to try and fix what they screwed up. I normally end up educating a few people waiting in line to have their water tested about proper balance and how much time and money they can save if they just dial that in in the first place. I know the owner pretty well and he laughs when I have them check my water to make sure that all my reagents are good in my test kit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to lick the cheese paper! being good "hill folk", we make our own and I left my coffee in the frig house... again Maybe I should outsmart myself and bring a coffee machine out to the doghouse. Have a half of a plan to bring water here. Sink/shower are easy... gray water. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 this Sumatran coffee gets a little sour when it ages/gets cold. I've had some that had to be drank immediately after brew or it would sour. 55` this AM. Going for 100`. Still no humidity. Late start on our monsoon - if it happens at all. If we don't get some wet soon, the mesquites will "drop" their leaves, they don't so much drop as turn gray and wait for new growth to push them off. @Tarheel Are you SURE you want to part with your LaScalas? I know your gf likes those tall speakers.... sound to me like you don't want to get rid of yours... you need to buy another pair and stack them. Then they will be tall like the gf likes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 2 hours ago, Pete H said: My Dolphin auto vac I have a auto vac too, but not sure on the brand, I thought I read that it was a triton, but not the dolphin. I will have to check. I love waking up early Saturday morning and seeing the sun glisten on the water and vacuuming the pool, its really peaceful. My mom had a pool that I took care of one summer and never had any water issues. This is my first pool and hope to not have any as well. Its amazing how so many people invest so much time and money in pools and still don't know what's going on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Keeping a pool isn't rocket science. Not to say there isn't a lot to keeping them proper. I kept a small sewage 'plant" and a swimming pool. The sewage plant is easier ... until it gets full of sand. Then "someone" get to go down into the tank and fill buckets while they get hauled up on a rope... and out. We would get a little dirty. We made sure. I have dealt with a couple swimming pools that got out of hand - black algae. Ya gotta love sandblasting in the summer. .... I would go out on a limb and say that albums are supposed to make some noise. Marcel Marceau's Greatest Hits excluded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember walking down to St Claude with my dad, there was a hot tamale stand on the corner we would go get some to bring home. All along the way people would be sitting on the porches and everyone would talk to you as you walked by, it was really nice back then, a real neighborhood. 8 hours ago, polizzio said: Our paths may have crossed at some time Very possable. 8 hours ago, polizzio said: Or ride our bicycles pretty much anywhere Before I could drive we would rid or bikes on the levee to get to the quarter and ride all over the quarter. 8 hours ago, polizzio said: Been to Rock n Bowl a couple times, very popular and fun place. We like to go there, we have even taken the grandkids to hear live music there. It's part bowling alley so kids can get in, they loved it. Our cousin was singing in a band, the Wise Guys and was a good band with a large horn section. She also sang those funny song with the band Benny Grunch , who sang songs like the 10 yats of Christmas. 9 hours ago, polizzio said: I remember when the Warehouse first opened, if you brought a remnant of carpet, you got in for free for a show. I saw a couple concerts there before I was 20. Saw Boston there....what a show! I remember that thought it was cool but it turned out to be a big mess in the end, it got pretty funky. I was at that Boston concert, Peter Frampton, J Giles, well to many to type really, it was my favorite place to see a concert. Santana at the Municipal Auditorium, ZZ Top and Aerosmith at city park stadium, it was a great time back then and it was cheap to see a show back then. 9 hours ago, polizzio said: Music was/is such an integral part of life in NO. Lot of good memories in the city over the years. The lakefront and the parks. Your right UNO Assembly Center was nice also and the fields around it, seen Chicago outside there and Eric Clapton in the arena, also the Eagles. I miss those days. Like that saying, I might be old but we got to see all the cool bands. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Balfour Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know the recipe for a good apple cider cocktail? This is really useful information for beginner cocktailmakers. Education is needed even for this. You can read an essay about civil disobedience to understand that education is the basis of the existence of modern man. You can read it on the online service https://samples.edusson.com/civil-disobedience-essay/. I also wanted to ask a question. I want to take my son on the hunt, but I do not know whether it will harm him. He study at school and he is 12 years old. The wife is against it, but it seems to me that he will like it.
