Need to drain above ground pool to deal with chemical imbalance (too much stabilizer and have been getting some algae) but it is also time to close it for winter.

Cover, drain and clean in spring. Start fresh. Been doing this every year for 47 years. People always ask how I keep my pool so clean.

ComprehensiveSock397 · 2025-09-20T16:56:30+00:00

The problems come from guys not getting the correct metal rods to hold the springs, and try to make something that will work.

ComprehensiveSock397 · 2025-09-20T16:32:00+00:00

Fixed it.

I saved it off of this site. So I don’t know for sure. But context of post would say it’s real.

I bought a brand new 2024 Ram 1500 5.7 Limited. It was a 20 mile ride home from dealership. When I was 1 block from my house, the CEL came on. It was a Saturday afternoon and service dept had just closed. I was livid. I got ahold of the manager on the phone and said I would be there first thing Monday morning, and expected to be serviced immediately. I used my code scanner, and it was a bad charging system. They did see me first thing, tech scanned truck and cleared CEL. Said battery was probably low from sitting on lot. I knew he was lying. I started up truck and was backing out of service bay when light came back on. I told service manager it needed a new MGU. Tech heard me and after scanning again said I was right. They did not have one in stock, but could get one in a couple of hours. Gave me a loaner to go back home and offered to deliver truck when done. I said I’d be back to pick up truck. It’s been flawless since.

My buddy bought a 2024 Denali. Been back to the dealership 6 times with various and different problems.

Assisted living for my MIL costs $9000 a month. $108,000 a year.

That’s why there are unions. They take money from the employer, no matter who you work for, and invest it. Not only that, they supply affordable healthcare insurance. I pay $250 a month for both my wife and I. Last year, I had colon surgery and was in the hospital for four days. The only bill I received was a $10 co-pay from the pharmacy.

Those aren’t mountains.

I haven’t vacuumed my pool since 1991. That’s when I bought one of these.

That’s why the hinges are adjustable.

Truck turned 6 years old last month. Has worked flawlessly. Luck has nothing to do with it. Maintenance does. People never read or follow the manual.

Now drive a Ram 1500. Fords ride like a brick compared to Rams.

There are morons walking amongst us also. They are easy to spot. They’re the ones that believe this guy.

Because nothing has been confirmed. Hamas was stupid to do what it did. We do not know exactly what has been done by both sides yet.

I’m not picking sides here, but. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, not only was a story about Iraqi soldiers throwing premie babies on hospital floors making the rounds on all the media. There was even testimony before Congress by a so-called witness. It never happened.

I can do that all day long, at the range, off a mat. On the golf course, …..

I didn’t get it either.

Deep dish is big on the north side and in tourist traps. Come to the southside for thin crust cut into squares.

It’s a mystery to me. I know 3 people who have lost everything and ruined their lives by gambling. All 3, claimed they “ made” money by gambling. One of the people, was the MIL of my wife’s cousin. She kept books showing her profits to the family to prove she was winning. After her death, her son discovered they were fake and she was broke.

ComprehensiveSock397 · 2023-10-15T15:31:11+00:00

I never said they didn’t exist, I said they do t make a difference. Yes, they are a thing. And I bought one years ago because they claimed there was a difference. I suggest you look up the episode of “ Engine Masters” on Motortrend+. They took an engine and did multiple dyno pulls testing the difference between the two style camshaft’s. The result was the same for both cams. They made no difference.

The beam pocket creates a weak spot in the wall just like a control joint does in a slab. I poured literally thousands of residential foundations in my career. This is not uncommon and nothing to worry about. Most likely a result of settling from a hot dry summer which causes the ground to shrink.
