  1. Feed the dog a couple of pieces of pineapple everyday for several days. For some reason it makes the cat shit taste fowl to them and they quit. I can't understand why it doesn't already taste fowl but then they love to roll in dead things also. Doggy cologne. Mmmmm. This did work for my dog though. Frankly if he wanted to eat shit, that was buisness. But I couldn't stand his breath. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  2. It'll probably open. There's no such thing as a pefectly good airplane. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  3. Hey Steve. Hows it going? When are we going to see you in Ronan again? I'm heading out the door on my way up there in about 10 minutes to do a couple jumps. Also if you have not heard, Jeff's plane is in the air in Bozeman again so we will be jumping there as well. Hope to see you soon. Clint. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  4. Just a couple more things. A pH increaser is generally sodium bisulfate. Muratic acid can be in small doses used to raise pH. It can be purchased at any hardware or home store. A pH decreaser is generally sodium bicarbonate, (baking soda) which is a neutralizer. Store bought baking soda can be used for quick adjustments. I have a Ozone generating system for extra sanitation in my spa so if you do not you may want to up your chlorine doses some. Never fill your spa with water that has gone through a water softener. All the minerals have been removed and it is extremly hard to adjust. A good rule of thumb is to change your water every three months or so. Well taken care of water can go longer.

  5. Why do they call you Tex? I'm from Louisiana. I'd sure hate to be called Louise. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  6. I serviced hot tub for 4 yrs and I managed a hot tub store for 3 yrs. Keeping your water in check is not hard if you stay on top of it. You can use the reagent kit if you want but the strips are so much easier. Your strips should be color coded. Just dip a strip according to directions on the bottle. Your pH should be between 7.2 and 7.6. This is very important. High pH is scale forming and low pH is acidic. Either way not pleasant for you skin and not good for you tub and its equip. It wiil eat up pump seals and heater elements quickly. Alkalinity should be between 80 t0 120 parts per million. High or low can cause excesive sanitizer consumption. Both pH and Alk can be adjusted by adding pH and alk. increaser or decreaser. I prefer Leisure Time products which can be purchased at you local Ace hardware store cheaper than and a spa outlet. Their products Spa UP and Spa Down will adjust you pH and Alk at the same time using one product. Just adjust your water using one or two tablespoons at a time. Calcium hardness in your water should be maintained at 250 to 450 PPM. Just use a calcium hardness increaser for that. Most water out of a well is pretty close. City supplied water may need adjustment. This is usually on your test strip also. Next is your sanitizer. Lots of different options here. Chlorine, Bromine and other non chlorine products out there. Alot of people used to come into the store claiming to be allergic to Chlorine. I highly doubt that or they would not be able to drink city water. More than likely they had a bad experience with an over chlorinated public pool or hut tub. This is not to say that to much chlorine is not irritating to the eyes and skin because it most definatly is. Some people find that bromine is easier on there skin but I prefer chlorine. I was at one time one of the people who hated chlorine. Then I figured out how to use it properly. I put one tablespoon a day in my tub. It is a 500 gal spa. Now if there is excessive use by multiple people you will have to adjust that up to your needs. Also if you do not use it on a daily basis as I do you can come down on that but a good rule of thumb is a tablespoon a day. On initial fill you should put in a Bottle of Metal gone which will take out all of the heavy metals. Another product that works well for cloudy water is Brite and Clear. But just keeping you pH and alk in check and keeping it sanitized does absolute wonders for keeping your water sparkling clear. One more thing. Make the ladies clean off all their make up before getting in. Make up is an absolute destoyer of hut tub water. Thety do make enzyme products to break down lotions and oils but you can avoid it all together. That goes for anti perspirants and hair spay and the like. Anything on your body when you get in will come off in your tub. Also spray out your filters on a regular basis. Getting in a clean hot tub is a pleasure but getting into a cess pool of human filth is disgusting. It sounds like alot but its really not. It just becomes a simple routine. I test my water and adjust every three days or so. Just find out what works for your needs. Good luck and I hope this helps. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  7. Johns' dad was getting up there in Yrs. and as much as he didn't want to, he guiltily put him in an old folks home. The next day he gets a call from his dad telling him thank you for putting him in this fabulous place. When he asks his dad why he tells him that that morning he woke up with a hard-on and this beautiful nurse nurse came in and gave him a blow job. This makes John feel wonderful. The next day he gets a call from his frantic dad asking him to please get him out of this horrible place. When he asks why , his father explains that he fell down face forward in the hallway and this huge orderly did him up the butt. John tells his dad well yesterday you got a blow job and today you took it up the butt. Sometimes you just have to take the bad with the good. His dad then replies " I understand that son but I get a hard-on about once a month but I fall down a half dozen times a day.": I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

  17. Very cool site. Thanks Alot. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  18. That is just about the color. I'm thinking just a little darker. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  19. Two more opinions, same outcome. There is no clearcoat on the paint. Looks like a new paint job which is OK by me. Just might not be this summer. But maybe. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  20. Thanks for the clicky. Lots of options. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

  22. If they were real they would be rich. They would just know the winning lottery numbers. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
  23. I took the car to a detail shop today and their buffing person told me that the paint was to far gone to buff out properly. He said that it would probably turn out very blotchy. Can't even wax it as the paint will absorb the wax. As I said earlier it looked as if somebody had already tried. So it looks like a new paint job is in order. I'm thinking Royal Blue.

  24. On my way. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.
