Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Canada was hard on the Big Round ones. Once taken out of service, they made deadly snow slide projectiles. Lotsa Kids were lost.

 

My mom has a round one we used to sled on, we used a ski rope behind the four wheeler in a big field. Scratched it up pretty bad over the years. No telling what it’s worth

 

There all over creation. Gives the UFO Folks somethin to do if they ever find one out in the middle of the field in Gods Country.

 

Corner trim and what else left?

 

Big areas of weeds, or random bits in a driveway, etc? My favorite tool is a tiger torch... walk along, toast the weeds, and within a few days, they're gone, and stay gone for a LONG time.

 

Modified screws installed. Pump remounted and redid some plumbing. Did a quick leak check with tap water, drained, and refilled with coolant. Now running and cycling on/off to bleed. If all is well overnight, I'll fire it back up tomorrow. It'll be nice to have my pc running again after procrastinating for around a year.

 

This decided to die. Computer problems. Replacement computer..... $1000.00


Install new pump for $1700.00 with 1 year warranty.
F hayward and their shit pump.

 

Replace it with another Hayward?

 

It's a Pentair.

 

Hell no!
Thats a pentair super flow variable speed pump.
The other was a hayward ecostar. It special feature was the SVRS system.... just means the pump shuts off if it feels like its clogged, with a child's hand, foot, ass *yes I said ass. Lily pad skimmers have been known disembowel children who sit on them.
The pump would automatically shut itself off.
Great device, but a complete pain in the ass for the pool guy. .. but, saftey first.
The kids are older now and know better.

 

Hayward is east coast shit!

 

Two yrs ago was I was hit with 3 phase 277 volt and my ass was saved when I hit the ground form 6 ft up a ladder as they think it re-started my heart from the impact. This is what my left arm looked like as the voltage went through this arm.....

 

Just around the pool pump hoses, weeds got away from me!

 

That's crazy, and lucky, wow. Good thing you lived. I'd say that's for sure a near death experience.

 

I am not a hoarder.

 

No, Thank you for giving me a tour of your apiary and all of the other cool things you’re doing on your plantation!
So, for those of you reading, as fate would have it, I was headed to the panhandle for our family beach vacation when the GPS told me to avoid a section of interstate due to an accident, and low and behold, the detour took me right through Jeff’s town.
Unfortunately I didn’t have the thought or time to drop him a PM at the time, but I did arrange to make a side trip on the way home.
Jeff’s the first Tacoma World member I’ve ever met in person, and I must say he’s pretty cool!
Mmmmm honey!

 

"Collector"

 

We do work for Hayword

 

Got to do the facial boards, eves, paint, etc, and a friend is going to put new gutters on. I took them off when I did the roof and threw them away.
