  1. Meh, It depends. Do you still have that crazy uncle spouting shit about a stolen election or are you in unmoderated groups because that will generate the stuff you are talking about. Best thing is to unfriend or mute that old hunting buddy that throws out misdirected anger or quit that unmoderated group that goes off topic on masks, vaccines, or gas prices. My main reason for it is to check the schedule of car shows in one main group I'm in. I check it about once a week.
  2. They took for for tests but he aced Person, Man, Woman, Camera, TV and proclaimed himself a stable genius.
  3. I don't like using clarifiers or flocculants but Freyguy has the right advice. 1. TFP is a great resource. You should be able to test your pool without Leslie's and get more consistent results. You probably need a FAS-DPD chlorine test kit, you also need to know CYA to clear this up. 2. Get reliable CYA and Chlorine level readings. Depending on your CYA level you need to shock your pool to the right Chlorine level and hold it there until all of this is gone. Then do an overnight chlorine loss test to make sure you don't have algae hiding in a hidden spot like a light recess or unused pressure side line. Read this post for an example on the shock level needed. The higher your CYA the higher the necessary chlorine level. If your CYA is over 80 you should probably do a partial drain and replace to get it down to a manageable level for shocking. 3. You probably don't need flocculants if you have patience. Did a sales guy tell you you needed it? The push product not healthy pools. Just doing the Shock/hold/overnight loss test will kill it all off and the filter will eventually get it. 4. What is your pool water turnover rate? How long are you running the filter? Leave it on 24/7 and backwash the sand regularly until this clears. How old/dirty is the sand? The fact that this gets worse when you turn the filter on means it could be a one or more things. Your filter media is inadequate turning on the pump stirs stuff off the bottom that had not been filtered You are killing new algae when the pump comes on and you need to do the shock/hold/ overnight loss test until it is gone. Check all of these things, make sure the filter is working properly first so you may need to break it down and inspect.
  4. Fitlump as counterpoint to assuming that means he is a “prominent member” or that it precludes mental and emotional instability.
  5. I’m quoting you but realize you may not need the info but someone dropped in a while back that had a hard time shocking their pool. I think that is the ideal range for high UV areas like central Texas. With that level your maintenance Chlorine level should be about 6ppm and the Shock level should be about 28-30 PPM. This is a high level and most test kits will not go that high. You need a FAS-DPD test kit which uses a powder and drops to test chlorine levels. If you are not getting the level high enough you are not actually in shock range and you can keep having algae problems. Hope this helps someone.
  6. New neighbor has two 68 Mustangs. This red vert is in the garage and he had been struggling with new power steering so I spent about 3 hours helping out on Saturday and we got it in. He was driving it on Monday😀 His other one is a yellow coupe with a 390 that I have not seen.
  7. Lots of work this weekend. New carpet and seats and painted interior. AC system is installed but not charged yet. the sticker is the back window has been there since my Freshman year.
  8. have to redo some trim and then get the front seats in.
  9. Working on the interior. Rear package tray painted with exterior latex and custom tinted to match interior. New rear seat covers and carpet is trimmed.
  10. This was the first thing that came to mind. If they in fact knew she was dead and made a statement otherwise why are they not prosecuted?. To this layman sounds like the parents are accessories after the fact and maybe aiding the criminal escape.
  11. Being right about the state of our news sources is the one truth he'll throw out to gain cred before he starts spreading the propaganda.
  12. I think all the ones that know better, want to do the right thing and get out from under the idiot king are like Upham in Saving Private Ryan. They could save their comrade, the country, but they are just too chickenshit to walk up the stairs and end it.
  13. I lived in Scotland in the 80s. As a high school student and saying you were from Texas was better than being a generic “Yank”. This was at the height of Dallas the tv show and everyone wanted to know about Texas. Shit’s gone downhill since then.
  14. Lol, Drain the swamp has been around for probably 200 years. Trump won’t go quietly. He will continue to fundraise and split the party but he’ll probably end up with just the Q nuts in the end. He’ll still be playing the big lie hits in the Republican primaries about all the RINOs stealing his votes. Just look at those crowds. Proud Boys will happily take their anger campaign to DeSantis who has a penchant for manipulating the persecution mindset. People that think they need to defend themselves from the government will be all his. The platform will also include taking on Disney and I kept Florida open when trump was shutting things down.
  15. Yes, the plan is to create enough noise with all the messing with elections bullshit so they can set the stage to steal an election and then claim is is just bullshit noise when they really do it. If someone walked down the street and triggered every car alarm but didn't steal anything and kept this up for a while people stop paying attention to the alarms so then when they really are broken into or stolen people just ignore it.
  16. Yeah, we need to list these options because like printer manufacturers the prevalent model is to discount the hardware and overcharge for the consumables (monitoring or ink). I would do the Ring whole house system but I think they require their cloud storage and monitoring. Right now I have two cameras that ping me when I have someone activate the motion detector but nothing on my doors and windows. That is the place I want to self monitor but have not found a solution.
  17. The problem for meadows is he was playing both sides with Trump. I believe this would be pretty close to what happened: Trump: I don't see the trip to the Capitol after the rally on the itinerary. Meadows: Don, don't worry it is on the shadow plan, You're going. ---- Meadows: Engle, Hutchinson, don't let Trump anywhere near the Capitol. Cipollone: Yeah, we'll be charged for all kinds of crimes. ---- [In the car] Trump: Take me to the Capitol Engle: Sir, we can't go there we are not prepared Trump: Fuck that Meadows. Arrrggghh!
  18. Anyone tried this? A guy in my neighborhood is advocating and is on 50% off sale https://us.biogents.com/?fbclid=IwAR2ohW8jlMl7DXKBs8o7SXfkPniPgBd-LXBGqSYYClu23rGp_27FxYO1M-Y
  19. First post in a long time. New seat covers and foam are on. new AC is plumber up except the compressor and plan on that today. Also have repainted most of the hard interior and install of panels and new carpet is underway.
  20. His passing is well known They can move onto the Rudy defense.
