Just keep Reggie out of the pool.

LOL! He had actually started to behave and get along with people
till
John stepped onto the scene and told him to stop it.



Are you talking about Reggie posting as Reggie, or Reggie posting as
one
of his 50 other identities here?

I killfile 'em fast as I can.


If someone here is going to keep posting total number of posts as proof
of
disruptive behavior, I may take Smithers lead and create a few alais
also.

Try "Duke Nukem".

Or 'Junior Badass'..... that has a certain ring to it!

What kind of suntan lotion does everyone keep on board their boat? do you
prefer oil or lotion? How much do you normally use in a season?

I try to keep on of each on board, so I have one of each. I buy the big
bottle of generic lotion and one bottle will last the season.

What is everyone's else favorite?


Congratulations! I think this is the first semi-boating related topic
you've posted on in months.
Keep up the good work.



When was yours, Don?

For us, $1,525. Drive up dock, 25 foot floater with water, electric
and dock box. The marina has 250 slips total, a pool, clubhouse and
top notch mechanics. The owners (3rd generation) live on site.

We moved to this marina because of our bad experiences with the dufus
*OMC Certified* mechanics at the marina we were at last year.

So how about you?


That's about the price, give or take, for a similar sized slip at the
local fisherman's marina. No pool or clubhouse, but a nice, smelly fish
cleaning station, general store, clean bathrooms, running water and
electric.

You cannot imagine what the fish cleaning station smells like in July
and August. Well, maybe you can!


Is Jimmy asking his silly questions again? What won't that boy do for
recognition and self esteem?

Why do you incite people, John?

As usual!!


Ah! I see I remain the topic of John's posts, this time being made fun
of because I posted a boating question in a boating NG. Imaging that.

And I see that Reggie joined in with his attempt to hijack the thread
with a silly side topic.

I guess this thread shows the real purpose of our non boat owners here.
And to think they their stated goal was to better the tone of the NG.

My, my, my.


Herring and Reggie only come here to be the a**holes their wives won't
let them be at home. Remember: neither of them have a boat. Herring gave
his away, and Reggie never had one.

And you have more than just a Parker?

You wouldn't recognize or be interested in a boating post anyway...why
bother asking?

Harry, your ego wouldn't allow you to killfile *anyone* who might mention
what a neat guy you are!

Jimmy (if you're reading responses to Harry) I strongly believe that,
unlike you and Don (and any other Harry puppy dogs), Reggie can think for
himself!

If you noticed, that's exactly what your master has done. That's why he's

I am old enough to remember when touching the water in the Potomac was
considered nearly fatal.
Thank Lady Bird Johnson for starting the cleanup that eventually made
people think getting in the water was usually safe.

When I went to OCS at Ft. Belvoir, we did a night crossing of Pohick Bay.
One young man fell off his rubber raft and was immediately taken to the
hospital for a Tetanus shot. The Potomac was a filthy mess.

10-4 on that Bass. Keep it simple and don't buy everything the kid at
the pool store sells.
I use enough tri-chlor to maintain a reasonable stabylizer level (that
10-20 you spealk of) and bleach to maintain the chlorine level. I end
up with a shot of acid now and then to hold the pH. That keeps my pool
sparkling.

I hear tell of people having to use acid to hold pH. Here in GA, my
water is just the opposite, you need to raise pH. Instead of using pH
Up, use 20 mule team borax, right out of the grocery store for about
10% of the price!. Raise alkalinity with baking soda, the same exact
thing the pool store sells you for three times as much. I use plain old
bleach to both keep my chlorine level up to the range specified by the
amount of stabilizer, and to shock. Here is a website that has that
information, you'll like it, this guy is a pool brain!

http://www.poolsolutions.com

and here is a forum of people who use his methods:
http://www.poolforum.com

If you go in the forums, someone has even written a small program
called bleach calc, you just plug in the capacity of your pool in
gallons, if you are using 5% or 6% (ultra) bleach, and it will tell you
the amount of bleach to add to get to x ppm. It also has calcs for
adjusting pH, Alk, and stabilizer. I only use pucks if I go on vacation
or something, so I have to add stabilizer once in awhile.
This guy also debunks a lot of pool store myths. I laugh at the
beginning of the season when I go to the pool store to watch those guys
load everybody up with a couple hundred bucks worth of pretty much
worthless crap, and I get to smallest package of pucks I can get!
Anyway, check these guys out!
