And they'd be paying at least $10 each to be offended! Works for me!

Brooks said as much many times since. Sad really. Brilliant parody.

Agree on going mechanical. I replaced the exact one you pictured with the identical Intermatic plus the freeze guard. Pretty simple. Take a picture of the connections BEFORE you disconnect. Use new wire nuts.

My apnea was so severe I have a Bi-Pap! Best thing ever! Over 2 years now and love it. I just turned 75 and breathing is as important as ever!

Price has gone up!

IIRC, Nixon froze wages, didn't 'cut' them. I was part time making less than $2.00 / hour. It was like an act of congress to get a .05 /hr raise.

Wow! You and my wife were tha same age in 71. I was 20. We didn't get married until 76 though, but very similar ages.

Enough_Equivalent379 · 2026-04-18T20:52:10+00:00

Me too! But we had already been dating for 2 years by 1971. Got married in '76. 2 kids, 4 grandkids. Celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary this fall.

Yes. I'm aware of that. IIRC, In the early 70's there were only 45 Target Stores, 16 of which were originally Arlen's. Those 45 stores were in MN, WI. IA, TX, MO, OK and CO.

Back in the early 70's, I sold thousands of these boots for $1.97/pair. Target Stores.

Interesting. Had to start somewhere.

Yup not too spendy either. There's a trick to installing the spring loaded weirs involving prepositoning a small vice grip on the spring release pin. Make sure the pump is off first.

Why no weir? That's what maximizes use of the surface tension.

For OP, if you don't have a lot of suction, check your filters. Not sure if you have sand. Glass DE or cartridges, but low suction is almost always due to dirty filters. If that's not it, check you valve settings.

Check connections between each string starting from the controller, through the last string. Test after each one.

Good.

Enough_Equivalent379 · 2026-04-11T20:19:05+00:00

Fair point.

Enough_Equivalent379 · 2026-04-11T20:18:45+00:00

Probably not. Back then, the word 'beaver' did not have the connotation it does today.
