I had never really considered power washing with the pool full. Can you power wash under water? My black algae isn't nearly as bad as in these pictures, but it's getting worse than it has ever been.- Something Fucky is Going On

- 18,000 cattle lost in a fire - Dimmitt, TX
The air was thick with the scent of smoke as the guests arrived at the dinner party. They were all there to celebrate the success of the dairy farm, owned by Mr. Dimmett. However, the mood quickly turned somber when they learned that all of the milk cows had been burned alive. As the guests sat down to dinner, they all began to wonder who could have committed such a heinous act. The farmhands were all accounted for, and no one had seen anything suspicious. The only lead the police had was a witness who claimed to have seen a man wearing a black hoodie leaving the scene of the crime. The guests tried to make the best of the situation, but it was clear that everyone was on edge. Suddenly, there was a loud crash from the kitchen, and everyone rushed to see what had happened. There, standing amidst the broken plates and spilled food, was a man wearing a black hoodie. His face was covered, but the guests could see that he was holding a canister of gasoline. The man introduced himself as Almond Milk and claimed that he was there to avenge the death of his family's dairy farm. He explained that Mr. Dimmett's farm had put his family out of business, and he had decided to take matters into his own hands. The guests were horrified as Almond Milk poured gasoline all over the dining room table and lit a match. Flames quickly engulfed the room, and everyone scrambled to escape. In the chaos, Mr. Dimmett managed to grab a fire extinguisher and put out the flames. The police arrived soon after and arrested Almond Milk for arson and the murder of the milk cows. It was a tragic end to what was supposed to be a joyous occasion. The guests were left to mourn the loss of the cows and try to make sense of the senseless act of violence. But they would never forget the name Almond Milk and the devastation he had caused.- apple watch for heart issues
I was having what I thought was afib last summer. My wife bought me the Apple watch and I ran the EKG. The watch said I was in afib. I went to see a cardiologist and he chuckled and said he would run some tests. Ten minutes later he said the watch was correct. I wanted the watch anyway, so it was a no-brainer.- Yes: Pools are worth it....
Haalp! I've drained my pool. I have 4 gal of liquid chlorine and 2 gal of muratic acid. I've been told by my local pool store person to spray the acid on the pool plaster (1:`10 w/ Water). Let it set for a few minutes. Scub and wash off with water. Repeat with chlorine. Scrub. Wash. Does this sound right @Poolflood backstory: I've been fighting green algae for the past six months. Gave up treating this winter with the idea that I'd empty and start over after the oak bloom. Which is where I'm at now. Pools ARE worth it!- Largest 15 US cities by GDP

"The fact that they can be trained in great numbers to collect loose change and possibly drop it in your backyard, making you a sort of tacky entrepreneur that rivals the likes of the head pimp of the Canning Highway/freeway off-ramp window washing operation." http://pilerats.com/written/light-easy/nature-corner-crows-are-geniuses-/- The Boat Fanatic Thread
It's a 40' cruiser and it's going to be quite a project. It's barely been used in the last 10 years. Dock queen. Fuel system is gunked, batteries dead, electrical systems unknown, etc.. My wife's uncle is moving and he practically gave it to us. The inside is cherry though. It's going to be nice once we get her up and running. I have boating experience on Travis but not for anything this size. I'll be getting lessons for sure.- The Boat Fanatic Thread
Yes. It's a USCG documented vessel. I think I have it figured out now after some googling. USCG documented boats don't get titled by State (Texas) - only registered. So I'm filling out the transfer info on the back of the Certificate of Documentation today with the current owner and notary. Once that's done, I take the paperwork to Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife to register it with Texas, pay any fees and taxes, and get stickers. "Title" is with USCG and "Registration" is with Texas. Sound about right? If everything goes well, I'll be a member of the club by the end of the day! For better or for worse!- The Boat Fanatic Thread
Hopefully someone in this thread can help shed some boat knowledge on me. I'm in the process of buying a cruiser on Lake Travis that's registered with the USCG instead of titled with Texas. It's my understanding that all we need to do is fill out a bill of sale, notarized by the buyer and seller and send it to the USCG with a copy of the USCG certification. Does that sound right? I guess that once the paperwork with the USCG is filed, and fees paid, I can then register it under my name with Texas Parks for the stickers? Sounds weird not having a Texas Title.- School me on Fireplaces
