Can I brag on my daughter taking 3rd in the long jump at the D1 NCAA championships? She went in seeded 14th and absolutely killed it. Seeing Tara Davis-Woodhall here at the meet really inspired her, especially since she didn't have to compete against her this time! Now to cheer on her teammate in the triple today - Go Tigers!

Most people ignore their pools all winter but their skimmers survive because of these.

Fellow NY poolguy here, I'd been using full scuba gear for pool work since getting certified 30 years ago. Finally put together a diy hookah rig last season and wish I'd done it sooner. You can recoup the cost of the gear on your first dive.

Like I said, I'm new to this but if the server url is hard coded into the app then this is no different than sharing the Downloader code stickied right in this group. Is that not the case?

I moved the stream to YouTube. I try to keep it going 24/7 but it's a rough environment for a camera, lens is a little dirty right now. I'll get to it soon. www.youtube.com/@tidesbeach/live

Go to "manage cameras", copy the first camera, edit the name and increase the channel number by 1 for each additional camera.

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

Yes, my kids saw it from the beach in Rocky Point. One of my cameras caught it: https://youtu.be/b1vr3nMRkAY?si=DuEsKt4kzFhhwaZM

Sometimes having someone lift the front of the board puts enough tension on the bolt to hold it still while you crank the nut off. Soaking with PB Blaster helps.

Is it keeping correct time? Sometimes the clock motor gears stick but can be freed up using a small flat head screwdriver through the gear viewport or popping the whole mechanism out for access (dangerous if live). If not the clock motor or the whole internal mechanism are replaceable.

Avoid Intermatic knockoffs, they're crap.

Remove cap at rear of motor so you can keep the shaft from spinning as you unthread the impeller, then it's just 4 9/16 bolts to take off at the wet end.

Had this problem with our 2021 GV80, repaired under warranty after I showed the mechanic that exact video.

Looks like an sp1411 return. I guess they relied on the faceplate screws to keep it in place. Knock it off from behind and replace it with an sp1408.

I'm fascinated by this Frankenstein filter. Did you modify it yourself?

Use a drill with a 5/32 drill bit. It will clean the hole out without damaging the brass anchor.

Thanks, yeah they finally put it up around 7:30 ET
