  1. Tyler Lee alumni checking in. The school was actually quite progressive in that they dropped the Rebels name and flag, and adopted the Red Raiders in the early 70s, long before it was fashionable.

    I don't get back much but still believe parts of east Texas are the prettiest that the state has to offer. Hwy 69 from Tyler to Jacksonville is beautiful. I just wish Tyler would ban franchise restaurants. Holy shit - enough already. Very few family owned joints.

    can you post pics and items you bought to make it?

    Pump sits in crate and is strapped in using a motorcycle ratchet strap since the pump's motor is so "torque-ey" I didn't want it wiggling around underwater. There's also a 10 lb. dumbbell in the carton just to weigh the kit down a bit. 1.5" PVC coming up to a tee with another 1.5" PVC running laterally above it. About 50 holes drilled in the lateral piece that spray water up at about a 45 deg angle and outward about 15' back into the pool. I made the lateral piece removable with that rubber connector just to keep the kit more portable.

    Quick updates and a question or two.

    -The Pentair chiller was / is a great investment.  Fired it up Monday afternoon for the first time.  Pool temp was 87.  Got it down to 82 by noon today.  Actually so cool that my wife complained about the temp this afternoon.  I was impressed that it could reduce the temp by 5 degrees in 2 days with 100+ temps.  Adjusted the settings, and we'll keep it in a range from 85-57 now.

    Can you post more info on the Pentair chiller? Link or model number maybe?

    well our pool is getting too fucking hot in austin. i have no trees hence no shade.

    bought all the pvc stuff to build those DIY misters. wish me luck

    Same situation on trees for us. I tried the misters that you put on the returns. Didn't work well and I was concerned my kids would break one. I built a different one for about $75 that works off of a submersible pump. I ran it overnight on Tuesday and got a 6 degree drop the next morning. Will post pics if anyone is interested. Probably run it twice or week or so during the summer.

  5. His takes are solid and I listen/watch him sometimes but something about his delivery was bothering me. I finally decided it was the over-cursing. It made me seriously evaluate the amount of cursing I do and whether or not people found me as annoying as I found him to be. Not sure that was the message he was trying to get me to absorb but that's what happened. But what if that was his plan all along?

    And welcome to the world of ER billing. You'll get bills from doctors you never saw sometimes from cities you've never been to, but they sent your file there for consult. ER's are hell.

    It really is mind numbing how screwed up the medical billing process is. So much smoke and mirrors and you feel like they're trying to trickfuck you for thousands of dollars in my case with zero explanations available.

  7. Had to put a kid in the Dell ER 18 months ago. The bill comes and it has some charges on it for doctors we never saw and procedures we never got. Called in to Dell to attempt to get an explanation for the bill multiple times but nobody with a brain would ever talk to me. Was promised callbacks from a manager that never came, yada yada.

    Fast forward to today and we've been sent to collections. I understand how that game is played and I'm capable of handling a collection agency.

    My question is - are there any ramifications back on the Dell side? I don't want to show up with a sick kid someday in the future and be turned away because Dell now thinks I'm a deadbeat.
