This is why I have to rule out Florida for full time retirement destination. The Mrs cannot take that heat. We are gonna have to snow bird. Jan-March in Florida to avoid the PA winters. Exiting NJ before the government takes everything and taxes everything. Just counting down, 3 years to go!

Sounds like everything else made these days as cheap as possible. CFO's who only know how to cut costs is the death of quality companies. When management teams are garbage they try to squeeze costs instead of innovating and implementing smart growth plans. I can squeeze another penny and...

First rule of thumb, throw any supplied screws into the garbage as they are Crud made in china that will strip, step 2 proceed to ACE Hardware and buy quality screws. I abide by this every time I buy something that has screws no, it has saved me aggravation and my wife hearing me cursing while...

$20 fine on that guy for failing to use screws.

I know not ideal, but its raining today so i don't want to take the cover pumps off and open the autocover so can I get a pretty accurate test reading from a water taken from the spigot that is plumbed into my return line on my pad? I cant imagine a huge variance in the numbers from holding my...

I'm a solid 11 FC today. Took SWG from 10 yesterday back down to 5. I bounce back and forth, maybe I should try like 7 or something. he he.

Do you have any idea what it costs just to change the angle of the lens on a satellite orbiting 200 miles above the Earth? Our costs go up your costs go up!!

Wallie took a dive to clean the pool from some stuff that got under the autocover. Turned the SWG down to 5 and I'm barely losing 0.5 FC a day. Cold spell the rest of the week so no swimming in store and the water cooled down from my heat up last week, hovering around 75. We have had 25-30...

Yes sentry guns! You ever see the motion detected water hose that sprays the deer. Wonder if they ever just get used to it. My wife yells at the deer through the ring cameras all the time. In NJ they are everywhere and basically give you the big middle finger unless you literally get right...

I'm a fan of the Four Seasons in Maui which is off the charts and you are still in the US. You pay for it but it is amazing. My friend loved Portugal but I have no idea what the water is like. Bermuda makes Hawaii look cheap. If you never have done the Greek Islands they are amazing!

Just pack an AR just in case you need to be called up to repel the invaders!

"Well I ain't paying no 50 cents for no coke. Oh then you ain't getting no coke. Know what I'm talking about?" :laughblue:

We have several ring cameras that supplement our IP cameras and they work great. I have all but one with solar and they keep it recharged and working and its been like 4 years. We use the ring chime inside that gives us a train whistle if someone comes on our driveway and another gives us a...

Yep, its like my son's Hybrid I got him. My wife and I drive it all the time, awesome tech and during the cold winter we were getting 54mpg driving around. Now its warmed up and we have been averaging 61mpg. It's rated for way lower but we are not complaining.

PB4USWIM or just let it fly in pool and test your CC's. :laughblue:

I cant imagine stirring by hand, how uncivilized!!

Had our first swim yesterday. 91 degrees then it dropped to 59 this morning. Turned heater on at 7am and by 3pm it was 88 degrees (teen approved, the daughter has anemia and she likes it warm). The Mrs and I went to the jersery shore in the morning had a picnic lunch (caught a little sunburn)...

I'm hot at 14.5 already and have to turn my SWG down to 5% so I lose 0.5ppm a day right now.

Exactly what I get as well!!

Me too that's going to be my gig next year unless I get some dilution but with my autocover not likely.

I never realized that. Extra salt for everyone swimming this year. I might dilute it by emptying my spa a few times.

They key to flexible hoses is not to leave them for any period of time under full pressure. Say you are washing your car, you get a call and go into the house but you don't turn the hose bib off but just shut the spray nozzle off and the hoze is under full pressure and no water flow is...

Spend once cry once, Eley.

I'm not giving legal advice but I dont think that article is correct. I don't believe NJ has a statute prohibiting your camera on your house also capturing someone elses backyard in plain site. The issue that could come up is if that camera records their conversation and since NJ is a sing...

Bingo, if they are throwing eggs from a fair distance the ring cameras (which are very good) might not pick up the people at night time even with flood lights. I have both Ring and IP cameras that cover my entire perimeter If you go just ring you will need plenty of light to get...

My original pole is what I used to hang my CYA in my skimmer sock in front of the return. That's its function now.

New you are the folks in this progressive commercial, I laughed so hard at the guy with the crown molding. I have some of that in my garage.

😢 Dang I wanted 3200 and blew it. LOL

As someone said to me last year, dip my margarita glasses in the pool water. LOL

I recommend the Taylor Test kits, if you have a salt pool then get the salt test. No matter what get the speed stir so it automatically spins water in the little test tubes for you. Easy peasy to do. I got mine from this site and would recommend them (I have no affiliation but many folks here...
