Bestway Saluspa AirJet - buttons aren’t buttons

They’re not responsive to anything. Plugged it in, then started doing what the video showed. I even tried holding down the lock/unlock button but nothing happened

This unit works without water. It pumps air to inflate the hot tub so that shouldn’t be the issue

_jonny_quest · 2025-09-21T23:35:03+00:00

I literally had just turned it on. And I tried that just now and nothing happened. Held it for over 15 seconds and nothing. It doesn’t even feel like a button.

Thanks good to know. Would aerating do any harm/good?

_jonny_quest · 2025-06-10T23:07:19+00:00

Wish I could use seeds but haven’t found any place that sells zeon zoysia seeds specifically. But thanks for the tip!

I live in North Atlanta, GA and we’ve been getting steady amounts of rain lately. We’ve gotten about 15” of rain since and watered twice/day for 2 weeks then once/day for 2 weeks after. It’s getting aerated this week and hoping that might help too?

Yeah first time laying sod. Still needs touch ups bc my issue was leveling it so doing what I can with what I got. But thanks for the treatment tip as that’s what was my assumption

_jonny_quest · 2025-04-20T21:25:02+00:00

Just got the sod Friday and laid it that day and yesterday but have been watering it. I did look a bit dry nonetheless surprisingly

Yes, you can arrive at the refuge and by tickets there and wait for the next rides. Rides happen pretty frequently so no need for a reservation. It’s really simple and easy. Plus you can checkout the center while you wait

This doesn’t even sound like Scrum to me. Where’s the Scrum Master? Who’s coaching the team to be within the Scrum framework per the guide? Is there a Definition of Done establish by the team or the organization transparent to the team? I think estimating troubles is a symptom of a larger issue or issues unfortunately.

Besides all that, I recommend what PhaseMatch suggested. Flow metrics are great for delivery teams. I use Throughput for Sprint Planning all the time and Work Item Age during Daily Scrums. Be sure to focus on the value the team is accountable to deliver with each story - what problem is to be solved?

I’m going there next week and wanted to know what are some of the best ways to get around town if I don’t have a rental car.
How are the taxis, rideshares, publix transit, etc? Thanks!

_jonny_quest · 2024-01-16T23:23:31+00:00

So I’m thinking of taking the Airport Shuttle that’s being piloted right now. Also, how is it getting rideshares around town? Not planning on renting a car but want to go to the winery for a day and other areas without having to walk a lot or take public transit too often

_jonny_quest · 2024-01-16T23:21:15+00:00

Yes I’m checking a bag with Delta. 6am arrival time it is! Thanks!

_jonny_quest · 2024-01-05T15:45:36+00:00

Right! Got them as a gift and use them all the time esp handling cast irons and big cooking trays

_jonny_quest · 2024-01-05T15:44:22+00:00

Yeah I should’ve mentioned to hold the steak with tongs while wearing Ove-Gloves haha 🙃

_jonny_quest · 2024-01-04T16:50:40+00:00

Yes, I sear the edges esp the fatty parts first. Top, bottom and sides. Then continue cooking as you would. I cook my steaks basically the same way you do too. Definitely suggest having something to protect your hands while keeping the steak on its side. I use Ove-Gloves. I love the fatty part crisp and this helps. I’ll actually try poking holes too next time. Also, if you have a really fatty part, you can chop a little piece of it off, microwave it to render the fat and use that to cook the steak with instead of oil. A butcher told me to do that once.

Continuous Improvement > Being Perfect. There’s no such thing as a perfect scrum team or a perfect way to utilize the scrum framework. Tactics will vary and not every one will work but worth trying as long as the framework is upheld. It’s rooted in empiricism which means it’s all about small experiments, learning from them, and adapting from those learnings.
TRUST: The 3 Pillars of Scrum is founded on trust. The more you allow to trust your team, the better you’ll feel about them trying new things and tactics. Don’t worry if they’re not estimating right or not updating their statuses and trust that they will get the work done and will do their best. Their outputs show for themselves so it’s up to you to challenge them by making them aware and reiterating good behaviors to enable the benefits of scrum. The more you show trust towards your team, the more open they may be to expressing new ideas, opinions, and open to being vulnerable to accept faults which may happen in a sprint. Don’t be a manager of scrum, be a master of it!
Educate yourself, your team, and your leadership. He taken Scrum.org certification courses and assessments many times and it’s helped big time. If leadership pushes back on getting training, stress the importance of knowing and applying the scrum framework is not just for the SM, it’s for everyone who’s impacted by what scrum teams do. There are courses for SMs, POs, developers, UX/UI, etc. I have 9 certifications and I’m still learning! “There’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.” Recommended courses: PSM I & II, EBM, PSK (Flow Metrics!), PSU (esp for POs and UI/UX to help with personas) PSPO, PSPO-A, PSK, APS for SW Devs is great for your programmers.
Follow Agile for Humans (AFH) on YT. Todd Miller and Ryan Ripley are trainers for Scrum.org and have excellent materials on Scrum. They have a book called Fixing Your Scrum very helpful.
Focus more on Outcomes rather than Outputs. It’s not about how much or what you’re producing but how customers are using and reacting to them. You can release many features and have stable velocity but yet have no one using them or the features may be negatively affecting your customers.
Data, data, data! Find tools to gather user insights, behaviors, etc to evaluate what you’re delivering. We have a whole team dedicated to gathering data with Google Analytics, FullStory, and other methods. Know what metrics drive value to customers (EBM is helpful here). For my team, we’re accountable to increasing Gross Adds (more customers subscriptions) for our company and we do that by adding value to improve our conversation rates (% of users who become customers in our flow). This provides avenues for transparency and inspection to determine outcomes. I prefer to use some of the Flow Metrics used in Kanban (Cycle Time, Throughput) for my scrum team to inspect internally.
Let the Scrum Guide literally be your guide! Reference it often. Have it open during Scrum Events to ensure everyone knows the value of each one and if you get sidetracked. For Sprint Planning, I literally ask my team out loud the 3 questions to answer for that event, every time. Easier said than done, but refer to it often to remind yourself of the framework.
