    From what I’m seeing you just backwash them once a month during the hot months then put more de in the skimmers to recharge. During the cooler months it’s once every 2 or 3 months.
    Then once per year you take them apart and inspect/wash the sleeves.

    Was that your experience with a DE filter?

    I was constantly battling algae with sand and it didn’t help that it couldn’t filter the stuff that well

    I think I have a pretty big filter compared to pool size.  I have to give it maintenance 3 times a year.  2 back-washes and one full clean yearly going on three years now.  You do have to add the DE each time.  The full clean isn't too bad, but takes a while. I don't take all the fins apart...just keep spraying in between.

    Damn.  That last paragraph is myself to a T.

    Must be a small town kid thing.

    I'm from a very small town and maybe that's part of it, but I'm with Charlie...I just always loved maps.

    Wait, what happened to the East Mall fountain?

    I don't think it has worked in years. Hell it was often not functional when I was there in late 90s. No clue why they don't fix it or get rid of it.

  4. RIP. This hits me harder than I would have thought.

     

    I know a girl here in Laredo, her name's Pussy Willow Rose
    She got that ring around the collar, got that ring stuck through her nose
    She works there at the Dallas Cowboys, but she's got no in between
    Like all them other boys in dresses, they ain't every Cowboys dream

  5. Brisket on at 6am. Should be ready by 4pm, so will only get a 2 hr rest which is my minimum.  I'm usually a butcher paper wrapper, but now contemplating this foil boat thing. I have some tallow I made on July 4th so probably do something with that too in the process.

  6. Yeah, pretty sure you could during March madness too. 

    Nope , pre created combinations always. They create the combo screen at the servers so they don’t have to stream 4 games to you and have your device do the mixing.

    Is Chip Brown already off ESPN?

    Yes, he does a show with Isaiah Collier on the Texas Sports Unfiltered.  And starting next week, they also have a one hour show with Mike Hardge!  So basically everybody fired from or left the horn in the last couple of years are part of that thing.  Bold strategy...

    Edit to add: Chip was replaced by Jason Dick on ESPN (102.7)

    My morning drive starts around 183/Mopac, takes me down 183 to 35, then 35 to the campus area.  I can't get a clear signal on 101.9 throughout the entire drive.  I'm sure the owners don't understand how they could have failed having an Austin radio station that can't be heard in Austin.

    Well it also doesn't come in at all from campus area, back to Mopac all the way south to SH45 area.  But hey crystal clear on the app!  Which is why this other group is putting together a competing app.  A lot will say fuck it, it wasn't all that great to listen to Austin sports talk anyway, and won't go through the trouble.
