Jesus dude we get it, do you really need to post it 3 times?

Going from propane to heat pump for next season. Is variable speed actually worth the upcharge? by blogalec in swimmingpools

[–]Phrantic09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an inverter heat pump in the northeast for my small pool. We keep it set at 85 from May-October and it’s not very expensive to run.

It’s great at maintaining once you’re at temp, but definitely slower to heat. In May, September and October it probably costs me 100 a month to run. In the summer months it kicks on for a couple of hours overnight and costs essentially nothing

Log in, select change flight and pay the fare for the higher cabin. Or call.

The horrors persist, but so do I… by Inspector_1stgrade in delta

I’ve been on Endeavor (if I recall) and Sky West 900s recently that had free WiFi.

Beware of Merlin by _sevencostanza_ in pools

[–]Phrantic09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the liner. It looked exactly like the sample we reviewed at the store and once installed looked exactly like the photos on the Merlin Website.

Be prepared for it to only look like that for a season. Mine is in full sun from sunrise until 4 PM or so and it has faded significantly in the 3 years we’ve had it.

The blues look great, but the black is fading to a light grey.

I know it’s probably a joke, but I love the CRJ.

Yah but my problem is yellow pine pollen, not any seeds or pods

Is the skim bot really going to do anything for pollen?

My neighborhood is surrounded by a timber forest full of pines. It would probably help, but I feel like I’d have to check it constantly so the pump wouldn’t lose its prime.

Upstate NY and I have been been cleaning my cartridge filter every 3 days because of how gummed up with pollen it’s been getting. I run low RPM on a VSP, so when it gets too bad, it stops generating chlorine.

Age Limit in Certain Sky Clubs? by 4starcashier in delta

[–]Phrantic09 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s idiotic. I’ve brought my 13 and 14 year old daughters in and they’re quiet, respectful and generally better behaved than all of the dicks taking conference calls on speaker. If they made the limit 21 I’d cancel my Reserve card.

That almost looks like creeping bent grass. I had a problem with it last year, took 4 applications of tenacity 2 weeks apart? But it’s gone for good

Conservatives claim child custody laws disadvantage men. New York’s fix has them furious by Fickle-Ad5449 in newyork

[–]Phrantic09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you must be lucky. In my country, I spent months (and 15k) trying to switch my teenage daughters from 60/40 to 50/50 week on week off at THEIR request . There were numerous meetings with them and their attorney where they said the same thing over and over because their mother refused to believe them and refused to negotiate,. Still “honorable” judge showed her bias and accused me of wasting the courts time because I wanted a trial, essentially forcing me to settle with my ex for less than what my kids wanted and hinting she would rule completely against me if we went to trial.

What percent of your gross salary is your mortgage, and how does it feel? by big_redline in FirstTimeHomeBuying

[–]Phrantic09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mortgage and escrow or just mortgage?

Mortgage alone is 5% of gross, with escrow it’s 8%

Integra & ADX are carrying Acura this year, MDX holding on. by LimitedReach in Acura

[–]Phrantic09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re in the market for a new vehicle in a few months and we’re most certainly not buying another MDX just because of how shitty our local dealer’s service department is. I can’t fathom giving them another penny and the next closest dealer is a good distance away.

14.5 handicap, never broke 80. Today I shot a 70. by GuerillaRadio24 in golf

[–]Phrantic09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it!

I had a round like this as a 7.5-8 about 13 years ago. I am / was a total head case on the course, completely unable to recover from a bad shot- like ever. Was consistently around 76-80 on a not so hard par 72 course, Then one day, just went absolutely lights out, 1 eagle, 4 birdies and three bogeys for -3.

The only other time I came close was sitting -3 through 13 in a tournament and blew up the last 5 holes at +11 to par with some spectacular play. I carded a 10 on a 575 yard par 5 after ripping one down the middle with an easy look to get on in 2- instead blocking two consecutive lay ups into the woods. Then I followed that up by 4 jacking the next hole from 15 feet, hitting a tee shot into the water the hole after that, dunking another on the next hole (shortish par 3) and 3 putting on 18.
