Beer, Burgers and Brats at the end of our group ride tonight.  Anyone want to join me?



Brats, boiled in beer and onions, then grilled.  I hard pressed to find a better summer food...

BTW, the onions afterwards are heaven.  I can just eat them right out of the pot.

speaking of pools.  I was this close into getting into mine for the first time this year.  It's still a bit chilly.  Had I chosen to use my solar heater, I'm sure it would be perfect right now.

BTW, if you ever think you want a pool, don't...  Unless you just LOVE parting with lots of money and of course, love pools.


This. I'm in ~$400 this year and still have slightly cloudy and cold water. Close though.

TAN gets complained about all the time,

 



WTF? Why the hell would people complain about TAN? Don't like it, don't click on it. This really bugs me. It's not like anyone has to come in here. Sometimes I don't like it in here so I leave. I don't whine and complain like some punky snot nosed brat.

About the same BUT, I finally got my pool perfect...   I needed 250 in filters yet AGAIN.  I also need to change out the manafold inside of it.  It was crushed.  Once I made those changes, plus hundreds in chemicals, it's better than it has been in a couple years.  It looks inviting.

Considering that I probably, at BEST, get in it once a week during the summer, it costs me about 50 bucks per swim for the year...  ouch.

I'll be honest.  I haven't heard complaints in a long time.  It was the old timers that did most of it and now I think it's just accepted.

Tony's is still the best for seafood, boudin balls, and plate lunches in my opinion.  love em

Is the Old New Orleans Bar still there at the corner of Govt. and Lobdell across from Independence Park? Holy cow that place had strong drinks, a couple of the bartenders from the old Happy Note bar ended up there. Thankfully, I lived a couple blocks from there and could walk home...

LCT, I read about that Ridley demo day. Too bad it's a 90-minute drive from D-Vegas to Cumming.

yep, it's still there but I haven't been in a few years.  Jack the bar tender used to take good care of us and you are spot on about the strong drinks.  However, they opened a new happy note.  just can't bring myself to go there though, feels too much like cheating.  Ah, many blury memories of that place.

3ls of super shock every day for 4 days in a row has taken it from green to slightly cloudy. 1 more and I'm good. I'll balance the pH, add stabilizer and flauculent tonight. Gotta watch the clarifier with cartridge filters as it makes more of an oily scum ball (like Tony only smaller) which clogs the filter pores. OK w/ sand filters though b/c backwashing removes them.

Wifey said "let's get a pool some time in the future." I laughed. I spent the majority of my teen years maintaining our pool, even in winter (dad didn't believe in a pool cover for some reason), so I won't be making that mistake again.

You are all missing the point about the length of TAN...

 

That TAN goes 85 pages only is at the request of Marma... because the long threads cause a massive strain on the servers.

 

TAN gets complained about all the time, and so far Marma has continued to allow it to remain.  But if we fail to do as he asks, thereby creating undue load on the servers, TAN (or other threads like it) will cease to exist. 

The rules of TAN are simple...

 

NO LOL!

NO pics.

No talking about other people in other threads or elsewhere on BT...

and end it at or about page 85.

 



too many FNGs these days.


this should be posted on page 1 of new TANs.... maybe that might help??

don't know if that would help... it seems we got us some rabble rousers who revel in rule breaking...



dang ole whippersnappers.  whatcha gonna do with em..............?

Ha!  I came back from a two week vacation and left the pool cover on the pool during 100 degree weather and low on chemicals.  When we got back, looked and I literally caught my breath/heart skipped a beat.  It was SO green.  As green a grass and you couldn't see 12" into the water.

I was able to get a big bottle of green alge killer, put the whole thing in, and it was gone in 24 hours.  THEN needed the clarifier to get the cloudyness gone.  I think that's what wasted my manafold.  Filters were clogged and pressure built up to crush it.

My plan says run today, but in the directions, it says spin in an easy gear.  So which one do I do?  I think I want to ride, so I will do that.  I may also just do it on the trainer at lunch and have a free afternoon instead of riding my bike.

I prefer the bike over the trainer, but I guess not more than a free afternoon.

I need to find a good learning method.  Maybe a DVD or software.  I'm just ploughing throug some stupid book I bought 10 years a go or longer when I had the same idea to learn...

I got the guitar when an old ex GF left it after leaving me and our house...  Which is fine, it was over...  I "forgot" to tell her is was in the garage when I found it a year later.

BTW, is there a "girl" sized guitar?  I don't think it is, but my fingers feel fat.  I touch just about every string unless I'm VERY precise.

The length is of no consequence to me. I just wonder why people feel the need to complain. I know some people don't even want COJ to exist, let alone TAN. C'est la vie
