    neat trick when adding links

    How many times have you typed out a comment and then wanted to add a link to another thread or off site page? I used to delete or leave out the text used for the link. I just discovered a neat trick when adding a link and it's easy. Highlight the text that you want to use for the link. Then...

    evening surprise

    My wife was sitting out on the patio while 2 of the kids were swimming. They are old enough that we can see their heads bobbing around while they play, but not the actual water itself while sitting on the patio. I came out to say hi and got quite the surprise. A good eye will see the water...

    Taylor high level FC comparator

    Does anyone know the part number for the Taylor high level FC comparator? If memory serves me, I heard someone mention that Taylor has a higher range (up to 10ppm) comparator block. I assume it is still the OTO test using the typical R-0600 reagent.

    Cleanup - Aisle 3

    Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from my wife saying that a bunch of rocks were hitting the back of our house & sliding glass door. So over the phone, I had to try to figure out what was going on. It turns out they came from the lot behind us where they are building a house. So far there is...

    Iron stain

    So my opening didn't go perfect, or should I say my closing. When I pulled the cover off I found a lonely screwdriver sitting on the bottom of the pool, right under my skimmer. :confused: By the looks of the tool and vinyl liner, it was there for more than a couple of hours. So now I have...

    Opening disappointment

    I must say that I am very disappointed. The issue, I feel very sorry for those who have to open to a swamp and spend weeks and crazy money to get things cleaned up! :D Not me though. I spent a couple hours the last 2 nights opening my pool. Last night I pumped water off the cover while I...

    Recycle water on cover

    With all the rain over the last couple of months, I probably have 2,000 gallons of rain water on my cover. It isn't causing any harm and isn't at risk of falling in the pool. I've purposely not drained it in hopes that I might use it. Just pump the water into the pool to recycle it instead of...

    I have pictures hosted on Tinypic & Photobucket and link to them when posting within the forum. However when the original pic is large (dimension not mb), the pic takes up the whole screen and doesn't fit nicely within the post. Is there a way to resize an image using tags similar to html? I...
