SSFB Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Also, one of the guys we played against today was a Pastor at a church and he's been fighting pancreatic cancer for over a year. Doing chemo that entire time and it was pretty amazing how good of spirit he was in and how well he was able to play. Major props and all the best to him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My jaw about hit the floor when he said he had been fighting pancreatic cancer for a year and here he was playing golf, good golf! Not my pastor as I don't practice but nonetheless a person I would gladly associate with again, a model Christian from what I saw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a volunteer Defensive Driving course twice some years ago, not that it matters but I've been driving since 1963 and have never gotten a ticket for anything except a parking ticket long time ago.

Got boat put away on new rack by strapping to bucket of tractor. Rearranged everything so it fits in the 30x40. Ram, Corolla, Mustang, 56 Chevy, tractor and boat. Was a tough day with only 1 arm! Nice mancave, real nice. 13 hours ago, Blackstar said: Thursday when we started filling. Nice. Just picked up this for the back deck, gets wired up tomorrow.

I was talking to an 82 year old guy yesterday who was fully cancer free after 3 years of liver cancer treatment. Good things happening right now with cancer treatment. One of my best buds was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer almost 3 years ago. He's on some clinical trial, takes 14 grand worth of meds a month, and other than not being able to drink, he's been in perfect health. He got a MM card and now does the vape pens and non alcohol beer for a buzz, which I think is better than being a boozer. Never smoked a day in his life. 10 years ago, he'd be dead by now. 12 hours ago, Mainecat said: Putting new rockers on the old F150 What year? Those things are notorious.

Its a Thermo Spa Concorde (medium size 4-5 people) Platinum (most number of jets) about 11gs. Came with steps, neck jets, LEDs, cover, ozonator, delivery, etc.. We had one at the last house and it got used a bunch in the 11 years we had it. This ones way nicer than the Caldera we used to have. I choked on the price, but its got alot of features that are just better, from the filtration to the cabinet, pumps, fittings etc.. Best part is that gray thing covering the filters, flips upside down and has a mini ice chest for beers and cocktails 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a 2 person MAXX (Canadian company I guess) jetted tub in the master, and it hardly ever gets used....cuz it takes so damn long to fill it.

I made sure, it was positioned so I could run the snowblower in and around it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After saying no for 30 years I finally conceded last summer and let the wife pick out a hot tub. We went with a small 220 gallon unit. It is nothing like yours but it's well built and very efficient. We use it all the time, especially in the winter. We converted it to salt water when we got back from New England last fall. It's just barely salty, like less salt than in tears. There are lots of cool options now days that reduce or eliminate the need for chemicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if i sound like im dis-ing your pool cause im not, i think its beautiful, thise are just a few of the things ive seen I don't do Fiberglas. This pool is steel wall/vinyl liner. We don't have cracking or heaving problems. In defense of the fiberglass market, I will say that if properly installed, there is no reason why a fiberglass pool should crack or heave. Any of the issues I have heard of were all related to poor installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a fiberglass from the pic, i didnt expand it or anything, very cool They will heave if you get enough rain, they will float, the best pool installation cant handle extreme ground pressure Atleast a liner pool is repairable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
