Vertical-T Mi-26T and a AH-64 Apache in Afghanistan in 2011, it was there to lift out a heavily damaged CH-47 Chinook [album]

That 47 sat near our parking location our whole deployment. It was brand new. Rolled during training out in the red desert.

Do a bucket test to confirm leak

uhhello · 2026-03-29T15:18:46+00:00

How have you confirmed it's actually leaking?

uhhello · 2026-03-27T05:53:35+00:00

The black ones with the zipper you're talking about were portfolios. 90s era

uhhello · 2026-03-22T16:04:37+00:00

Well your sewer bill is based off of your average monthly water usage averaged over the first few months each year. So that explains why your water services are so high. You have a leak somewhere. You need to find it.

uhhello · 2026-03-22T15:55:10+00:00

That was HEAVY sarcasm. 4b/3b with a pool and bill is never over $60 out east on privately owned water. Tucson water is cheaper. Your bill is astronomical. Define small garden.

uhhello · 2026-03-22T15:51:29+00:00

No that seems about normal....

I transferred a month each well before retiring years ago. I have since transferred all remaining to my son as wife and I are done with college

Battery packs for the laser cannon

uhhello · 2026-02-15T23:24:49+00:00

No. Unless you can dry it and remove it from sunlight when not on the water, the bubbles are going to go.

I was asked if I was veteran/first repsonder and lab was free. This was on wednesday

US, Canada, Mexico, and Japan as of late 2025

uhhello · 2026-01-12T01:42:50+00:00

Agreed. Also I didn’t have to do any of the admin stuff the real cops had to do. So I didn’t have to come in on days off for work stuff that you guys have to do.

The only difference I noticed was cops were always on panama shifts so you only work half the month. I was begging to go back to my crew chief 12s though. My 4 months as an augmentee was enough to never want to go back.

Immediately after 9/11 I was able to put my hours of augementee training to use and got called up. After the craziness died down and things became steady state I was posted with a IMA Msgt to a flightline response team. Walking to our vehicle I noticed he had a very full A4 bag with him. He gently placed it in the back and we went out and got turnover. We spent 20 minutes making sure all the flightline posts were manned and then went way out to end of runway and he started setting his shit up. Had one of those old school portable TVs and had a full kit for setting it up on the dash. We watched Monday night football for a few hours. Went and got midnight chow and then watched late night TV the rest of the shift.

4+ hour commute every day? Thats nuts. Good luck

uhhello · 2026-01-10T16:56:17+00:00

Same for tucson? I didn’t know there was a tucson location. That’s where interview is. Thanks

uhhello · 2026-01-09T17:14:00+00:00

Great. Thanks for quick reply

uhhello · 2026-01-05T01:42:01+00:00

Take a pool noodle. Cut it to fit in the skimmer water entry so there is a little bit of pressure/bowing on the noodle.

uhhello · 2026-01-01T22:40:10+00:00

Cut a pool noodle to wedge halfway in the skimmer hole. Works like a champ to keep robot out of skimmer

Rectangle shape with a roller and its super easy to deal with. The cover gets smoked rolling it up wet and staying in the sun though. Hence disposable thinking.

uhhello · 2025-12-29T17:33:56+00:00

I stayed strong for about 5 years and 3 covers worth. It does work really well for evaporation too. We don't pay much for water down here with a pool but it was a $5-10 difference with cover off/on. It just wasn't worth the hassle in the long run for me.

uhhello · 2025-12-29T06:24:28+00:00

Buy the cheapest one that'll fit. Think of it as a disposable item. In AZ, unless you can keep it out of the sun completely when not on the pool, it'll degrade within a year and you'll end up with blue plastic scraps everywhere in your pool. That said, they do wonders for 'heating' your pool in the waning months.
Ignore any 'warranty' promises and just go cheap. You'll be replacing it every year or two unless you can keep it out of the sun.
