I think my wife Kick me to curb if I put my 7 foot skimmer where her coffee table goes.

tell her it's ART. That's what they do to us! My wife came home one day with a bowling ball from a garage sale and showed it to me with great pride. I said, "But honey, we don't bowl." and she got really upset and said "IT'S ART!" and stomped off all mad.

Was it Art's bowling ball or was it made with Art's ashes?

Who the hell is Art anyways?!?!?

It's like... " Oh! This milk smells bad! Oh... it tastes bad too!

I think I just threw up a little. The shock of scrolling down and suddenly comming face to face with what first appeared to me to be a dirty diaper was too much...

Got to be careful when you surf the net. Never know when you will come face-to-face with a Neck Turd.

No, that's out of the neck of my skimmer.

That is typical. What is interesting though, is that when I pulled that one out, the skimmer was making 1gal/day of nog.

So... I did my leak test today. DISASTER! Small drip leak coming from the out treads of my closed loop Barracuda... No big deal. I re-taped and re-installed it. Some other very small leaks at the "T's" on my manifolds.

I have heard that very small leaks will seal up with salt creep... Is this true?

One of my 1.5" unions leaked a ton. I took it apart and there was no gasket. I'll fix that tomorrow.
