Minnie Vans are back

Morning, Fellas! Well, I'm BACK!

Quick.. Hide the rum. Steve is back.

Overall it was a great trip with family and...much needed.

Glad to hear.
Sorry about your travel challenges, though.

I had (or thought I had) quoted a couple other things, but knowing me, I didn't have anything useful to say anyway.

Despite the travel issues, glad you had a good time.

Rain/Freezing Rain here this morning.

Hope it's better where you all are.

Yeah, crappy here too, 65 degrees out. Lol

We have sunshine here

Sunshine here also and a comfortable(almost nippy, but with sun, it's nice) 16.

Well, I'm BACK! After a fun filled week, I'm finally back home.

Glad you had a good time (except for the travel shenanigans). Bet the folks were thrilled.

Similar here. Temps just below freezing, but add in 45mph winds. Lousy day.

Yeah, crappy here too, 65 degrees out. Lol

Oh, no! How you must be suffering.

Question for you. Top left of the pool pic there's a platform. On the platform, I see a little slice of blue. It looks way too small to be a hot tub, or is that just the angle the photo was taken?


And... how is a pool like a wife?
Way too expensive and way too much maintenance considering the amount of time you spend inside it.

That's 61F for our friends in the US. You have to convert from Celsius for them.
Sheesh. Typical Euro foreigner.

Lol. It’s a fountain. There are two jets that shoot water about two foot in the air and it overflows into the pool.
Pool is great actually. Since we’ve been in the house, since September, I think there were only two weeks we didn’t go in. It’s heated and the wife and daughter won’t go in unless it 86 degrees. Lol
We have a pool service that does everything. We are responsible for cleaning the deck and any major repairs, motors etc. and for what they charge, you couldn’t drive to get your water tested. I don’t touch it.
It’s also salt water and screened in so there really isn’t that much too do.

That's hilarious....

But also sad. Because it's so true

But, begs the question....because you're a 1 minute wonder or because it just doesn't happen?

Got in trouble from Dan when I didn't do Celcius

Get in trouble from you when I don't do Farenheit

Just can't win

It’s heated and the wife and daughter won’t go in unless it 86 degrees. Lol

It had to be at least 87 ot 88 for me. The ball and chain said that was too hot and felt like bath water. I never really wanted the pool anyway, so I said screw it. When the heater stopped working, I didn't even bother....she can have it as cold as she wants. I only went in it maybe 4 times in a year and a half.

Hi Dave

 

[pkondz]

Lol. It’s a fountain. There are two jets that shoot water about two foot in the air and it overflows into the pool.

Ohhhhh...
We have 3 fountains, but they're laminar and off the deck. They shoot up about 3' high and arc about 4' into the pool.

Pool is great actually. Since we’ve been in the house, since September, I think there were only two weeks we didn’t go in. It’s heated and the wife and daughter won’t go in unless it 86 degrees.

When we first got our pool, I set the temp for around 85 or so. One day I went in and... holy hot tub! Apparently the kids kept turning the heat up. They had it up to 98!

Gee, that sounds nice. And affordable too! Maybe I should look into that. I just hate paying for something I can do myself. Mostly the only thing I do, once it's up and running is a 5 minute chemical once a week.

It’s also salt water and screened in so there really isn’t that much too do.

Mine is salt too. I've heard there's something new that's even better, but...

I will leave that up to the imagination of the reader.

Do like I do. Do both. Right now here it's -7C/19F.

Supposedly there is a valve you can open and close to adjust the height of the jets, why? I have no idea But it’s one of many by the filter. When I say jets, they are the regular pool outlet jets facing up. Lol
They come in once a week, clean it, clean out all the baskets, replace filter,add salt if needed. test the water. Only thing we get is off the six palm trees close by, these little hairy looking things which are small enough to get past the screen enclosure get into the pool this time of year. Poor lady cleans those out.
Only thing we own is a small skimmer. They bring their own stuff.
Skimmer is good for getting those little frogs and lizards out that decide to go for a dip. Lol

I adjust mine when the pressure on the filter starts to creep up. I reduce the flow (slightly) on the returns so more water is sent to the fountains.

Geez, that sounds great.

Yup. Found the occasional mouse too.

OK who is travelling today?

 

[declansdad]

Well I know there was one person travelling and getting ready to sail away.

Have a great trip Chief!

Good morning from a clear, but groggy Germany. Groggy because of the time change and I may or may not have imbibed several biers yesterday. Mostly the time change though.

First morning coming to work it wasn't below freezing. It was 2C this morning (to appease the critic in the crowd - 36F).

Will end up being a nice day with 19C/65F this afternoon.

Should be signing paperwork on house (rental) this afternoon. Found a fully furnished 3 BR near work. Good thing is I don't have to buy all the furniture and utilities are included, so a lot less to worry about. Will stiill have to buy a 220v washer/dryer. Also plan on buying a 220v instapot and air fryer. I figure between the stove/oven and those two, I'll be set.

Okay, that's about it for me. Ktown out.

 

[pkondz]

Morning, folks. Happy Tuesday.

Yes, I know I said last week that our Mondays would line up, but to prevent the fabric of time unravelling, I worked yesterday, so that became my Monday instead. Hope you're all happy for me having saved the universe.

Still have 10 laps of yesterdays' F1 race to watch, which I'll be doing right after I post this.

I had to Google... our (North America) time change was March 13. Funny... for some reason I just assumed everyone had moved their dates.

It was 2C this morning (to appease the critic in the crowd - 36F).

Minus 36F? Whoa!

Should be signing paperwork on house (rental) this afternoon.

Congrats!

Also plan on buying a 220v instapot and air fryer.

I bought an instapot but hesitated on the air fryer. Just... so many gadgets... did I really need them? Now I find them both to be indispensable.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Yeah, crappy here too, 65 degrees out. Lol

New phone, who dis?

That's 61F for our friends in the US. You have to convert from Celsius for them.
Sheesh. Typical Euro foreigner.

Well, we're not very good at math.

We all appreciate your selflessness. At any moment, the world could be on the brink of collapse. It's a shame more people don't realize the effect they have on the cosmic balance of the universe.

Still have 10 laps of yesterdays' F1 race to watch, which I'll be doing right after I post this.

That was a good race! I've been trying to watch more and take an interest since my sons are so into it.

Yeah, in this case those both make some foods better and easier.

 

[declansdad]

Morning all.

See Doc is getting pretty handy on those temperature conversions. Well done!

We went with the air fryer but not an instapot. The air fryer is great, actually going to try a pot roast in it tonight.

Have a good Monday all.
