    Someone Talk me "OUT" of it! Peace

    Michael Boulton had sex with Bea Arthur in that very same motorhome. When it's dark out, they say you can still hear her screaming, and his panicked screaming as well.

  2. I've been riding forever, my advice is ride with common sense, and never get into a situation that requires skill. Those that don't ride don't understand the fun riding provides, just like those who don't go to the desert don't understand those who do. If you are in fear of getting hurt, don't ride, it's not for everyone. 

    And you really want a Road glide, not a Street Glide. Fairing on a Road glide is part of the bike (rigid mounted), where the fairing is part of the steering on a Street Glide. Once you ride in wind you'll understand why the rigid mounted fairing is better.

     

    Here's a pic of Roxanne to put in the spank bank.

    What I think they are saying is.......if you have a Ranger Raptor, you are gay.

    Hmmm, and you already had 2 Raptors......confirmed.

    I wonder if RG will give you a unicorn rainbow wrap on your Speed car?

  4. I've had a lot of Hondas over the years and my experience is that they are not as good as they used to be. Window regulators, trim pieces and little things that piss you off. I won't buy another Honda. I like Lexus, but they are 10 years behind in technology, tiny user screens with low tech interfaces and poorly designed interiors that look too much like a cheap Toyota. Comparing a Mercedes to a Lexus, the lexus is like a Flintstones car. 

    I currently have an E class Mercedes and its been an awesome car, amazing interior, great gas mileage and every tech thing you could ever want. The heads up display is amazing. Before this car I had 2 Corvettes, and they were both 100% reliable even with modifications. Problem was they were also low tech and cheap interiors. Wife and daughter both have Mazdas, and I am really impressed with them, they have a lot of the tech the Mercedes has and is still a relatively cheap car. If they came out with a luxury/sport car, I would check it out.

    My problem is there are no cars out there with a reasonable price I "have to have". Like in the older days when you saw a car and immediately got a chub. Cars are ridiculously expensive.

  5. We have it at work, a special food trash bin. So far I haven't found anything good to eat in it. Its a joke, nobody uses it, not even the snowflakes.

    Have to admit, wouldn't mind seeing Newsome end up in a recycle dumpster.

  6. Thanks for the suggestions so far. I tested my CYA level and it's off the chart, >200. Thank you Leslies 3" tabs. Apparently the best way to fix it is to drain some water and refill. Getting everything else back to 100% as well, new grids in filter etc...

    I was thinking about the inline chlorinator purely from a laziness factor, trading adding tab's for cleaning a cell every 3-4 months seems like a win to me. That Pentair system is super expensive, have to buy the cell and controller separate. I'm looking at either the Hayward or one from Circupool (RJ-30+). My pool is only about 15K gallons.

    Algae outbreaks are my biggest problem, due to not keeping up on the chlorine. 

  7. I'm looking at going from chlorine tablets to using a salt chlorine generator. My last trip to get a 35lb pail of 3" tablets was a shock (no pun intended), price went from around $75 last year to over $200. I've seen it come down a bit recently, but it's still ridiculous.

    I use an inline chlorinator from Hayward that uses about 6 of the 3" tablets. Problem I have is that it sometimes runs out and I don't notice until the pool starts growing algae and turning green. I'm so done with algae. In the summer heat, it can go through 6 tablets in a week or 2, so if you go on vacation, you come home to a green pool. Plus I'm lazy and busy, so working on the pool is not a priority. I've tried about 3 pool guys, and I fired them for various reasons. 

    I was thinking I could use one of these Salt water chlorine generators and it would lessen my chance of the pool turning green as long as I monitor the other water properties like ph etc.

    My pool is about 15-17K gallons, (12' x 24'), so I'm thinking of getting one sized for 25K gallons.

    Would like to hear the pro's and con's from those who are using these salt systems.

  8. I've tried almost everything and the one I keep coming back to is a genuine Kreepy Krauly. Overall they last the longest, have the least amount of problems and crawl all over my pool. I will definitely never use one with the mechanical stuff inside, they fail the fastest and cost the most to keep running, and don't do as well a job.

    That barracuda is really close to the Kreepy, had one and it worked very well and lasted a long time.

  9. Sounds like me when I was a kid. Does he have the aptitude to go back to school? In my industry, we cannot find good Engineers - Mechanical, Electrical, Software. After 3-5 years, these young inexperienced kids pull in $125-150K, and the sky's the limit if they can become managers, directors, etc. 

    A good college degree is something nobody can ever take away, and it almost guarantees you'll have a bright future.
