I wouldn't have anything but!

You're welcome.

Q is welcome.

It cannot go on an airplane in the passenger compartment in a carry-on bag. For checked-in luggage, it can fly with you.

Thanks very much!

You're welcome.

Thank you!

I've often thought about a reunion but the problem is, even if you give everyone 2 years' notice, they'll still not make it at the last minute.

You're welcome.

Yeah it came out nice. Made it great? What? I failed? Har har!

Oh absolutely, 1000% looks way better in person. I happen to like the RGB on the bush, always wanted a pop of color there to offset the rest. I had these tiny lights there, solar ones, in previous years. Also had a nice set of RGB solar lights I was considering putting there, but this set came along, it's wifi, I just so happened to have a spare outlet, it was a natural fit! And yes, the warm white looks great too for a change of pace. Had the fence lights on red, white, and blue for a few weeks and it was great, but now it's back to white. I'll leave the lamppost in the front red, white, and blue until Labor Day, then change it back.

There's no way the strap wrench is going to snap 2-in PVC pipes. If it had a 6-foot handle, oh yes. Removing the lid would have been an idea, and also a lot more work.

Yeah I have big hands. My wife has small hands, which is great because it makes _ME_ look bigger. This was the original air-relief valve on this filter, never removed or replaced before, so it was all original with genuine Hayward parts. These days, Hayward parts are a ripoff. So are the prices at Leslie's, even with their own brand stuff. Online, you can find a plethora of (mostly) compatible, off-brand parts that will save you an absolute fortune.

For the power it produces, it isn't that much. The basket assembly really acts like a flywheel and keeps the RPMs up.

Nice try--it was my dad's and he loaned it to me for this job. It was promptly returned. I'm also a firm believer in returning borrowed things in BETTER condition than I borrowed them.

That's what I do here, I always think outside the box, come up with my own ideas, and follow them. You won't know until you try, is my motto, so I go ahead with them after thinking them through. If I recall, this was after a REALLY bad winter (green) pool, it took lots and lots of backwashing and recharges to help get rid of. It was only that particular year that was so bad, and I was not the only one in the same predicament, many other pool owners I know had the same issue. 7 pounds to start and 5 after backwash? I do 4 pounds, that's about it. But again, this was repeated backwashing, several times a week with a day or two where I did it twice in a day. I had replaced the grids rather recently (within 2 years if I recall) with a genuine Hayward grid assembly. Therefore, no tears in the grids, and didn't run it long without DE, as I know way better than to do that. Leaking suction plumbing would result in bubbles being delivered at the return jets back in the pool. There were none, so no leaky plumbing. Running it with the cover off was basically just for fun, not really meant to demonstrate anything. Helped to get more crud out I suppose. As powerful as the pump is, and as much water as it moves, when faced with a large reservoir such as the volume of the filter, it still takes a few seconds (which can be a very long time) for it to fill. Everything is definitely operating up to snuff, it was this ONE time I had to clean them after a lot of heavy backwashing due to exceptionally bad conditions, all out of my control. My friend is a huge proponent of that way of thinking with power tools. I don't know of a screw in his house that isn't stripped out. When I was a computer technician, all of the other techs had electric screwdrivers and oftentimes they'd come to me with a screw they stripped out, asking if I could remove it. I always did, by hand. All of the work I did was strictly by hand as well. Never had a stripped or broken screw over 10,000 computers--that I had damaged. Powel tools are great for other tasks, sanding, burnishing, grinding, drilling, sawing, things of that nature. I also love my electric impact wrench for the lug nuts on the car--but you can guarantee that I put those lug nuts on at 76 ft-lbs--the specification for my car--with a torque wrench. One thing I do know about the largo o-ring is that it must be perfectly clean--top and bottom--and the mating surfaces of the filter--for it to seal without a leak. Lubing it isn't a bad idea.

Yeah, I wonder who! Though I will say, the leftovers were nice to have! Look forward to seeing your hedge trimmers. Mmm-hmm. Yeah, birthdays just don't mean what they used to anymore. Funny enough, today, next door, they are celebrating the guy's birthday. I think he's about 10 years younger than I am, so it still means something. They have a lot of people over, and a DJ just showed up so we'll see what happens with this. Not that I would possibly complain, like the old neighbors!

Thank you! Videos are booked practically until the end of August from what I have so far, and there will be more to come I am sure! Nice, they still call them that down there. This one and the one I had last year, pretty much stay put and do their own thing. I don't know if the Cora Vinca doesn't like being in the pot, but that as well as the rest aren't doing so hot these days. We did have some pretty hot weather for the last week or 2, but I make sure to water them every other day--opposite the sprinklers. That begonia is doing quite well still! Perhaps it likes the partially shaded area.

Oh it has nothing to do with GE appliances, it's all of them today. They're all junk no matter what you buy. Find yourself a nice vintage unit and it will probably run for the rest of your life. Though I'd still be a bit weary of GE stuff, they were always a bit dicey.

I actually did the screens on the west side of the room years ago. I always hated metal screens because they were always getting stiff and sometimes even rusty, so I decided to use fiberglass screen instead. That was a mistake, it didn't last. Birds sometimes fly into it thinking it's not there. Their beaks punch holes in it. One day yes, it would be nice to redo them. Better still would be to sort of more enclose it. Next door did that when the previous people were still there. Came out fairly nice. But still seems like a frivolous waste of money; it's meant to be enjoyed spring, summer, and fall; boxing it in like that only gives you one more season, and all you're going to see is snow, snow, and snow. And would probably make it hotter in the spring and summer.

The bulbs have 2 filaments, a low intensity one that would be on when the parking lights and/or headlights are on--that's when it's lit up. When you turn the blinker on, it flashes the high intensity filament while leaving the other one on, so it goes dim, bright, dim, bright. Check the other side and you will see what I mean. If that high intensity filament burns out, it will no longer flash. Conversely, the low intensity filament could go out, in which case it wouldn't light up with the parking lights and/or headlights, but will still signal when the blinker is on.

@@jaykay18 i kind of figured something like that. But thats good, so i still hv some kind of blinker.

@@lorisky143 Marker light, is what you have. It won't flash until you replace the bulb.

@@jaykay18 funny the video says about things happening, lol So I got the housing out, but the bulb dropped out inside 🙆‍♀️

@@lorisky143 Yeah that's one of those things! If the bulb is in the light housing you will have to remove it and try to get it out. If it fell in the inside of the car, you'll probably never hear it rattling around.

I demonstrated that much really easily. PROVIDE PROOF that it will not work, not hearsay. There is nothing at all believable about what you said.

You're welcome.

It should be self-evident based on the engine's displacement, which is in the title. If that still doesn't help you, I also stated it within the video.

While not a common type device, things like this have been around in several forms over the years.

Must be something to do with screen recording your phone perhaps.

@@ItzYaBoyJesse Odd. I looked through the master files, all are 30fps (actually 29.97), but the screen recording ones were recorded at 40fps, which I guess the video editor thinks is 50, and rendered it as such.

@jaykay18 those cheap Samsung phones probably don't record 60 FPS which isn't a major surprise. If you had for example Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra like I have then it has the 120 hz motion smoothness known as adaptive mode.

@@ItzYaBoyJesse You don't need 120Hz, you don't even need 60Hz. Thinking you need those refesh rates is the same reason you think you need a camera with 54 megapixels. It's simply unnecessary, except for specific, particular circumstances. Until you know what those are, you're wasting disk space, processing power, and ultimately, electricity.

I'm sure it will work great for that.

It's not worth fixing really. Yeah, I get it, $2 sensor can save the whole machine, but these machines can be had for 79 bucks now. I think I have 4 of them now, 1 in service full time, one on standby, one at the bar, and one as a spare. Since they forgot how to make refrigeration systems these days, the bigger problem is it losing refrigerant over time and never freezing. And that you're not going to fix.

@@jaykay18 yes, I bemoan the days of buying a fridge(or any appliance) for life like in the 60s/70s. 🥲

@@jeepinspence We are on the same page!

Yeah I guess you're right, placement maybe isn't ideal in there. Where it is, it serves all the IoT devices and voice assitants just fine within the house. Out back works 95% of the time, as opposed to more like 60% of the time as it was. Next plan of attack, after trying yours, is a different access point, "my biggest gun" so to speak, to simply replace that thing. That's the next least invasive strategy. Barring that, running another Ethernet cable out back and placing one of them little square guys I showed in the previous video will probably do the trick. But for now, it's enough.

@@jaykay18 yea, I bet you're sick of this shit by now!

@@ZCount I'm sick of things not working despite the fact you have everything correct! That's what always drove me nuts! Glad I don't have to deal with that day in day out anymore! This once in a while thing I can deal with!

@@jaykay18 that's fair!

You're welcome.

Just about anywhere these days, it's nothing more than a cell phone charger. USB-C connector is what the camera takes, if your phone uses that, it will work for the camera.

@@jaykay18 thanks so much.

@@elainieg No problem.

You've noticed exactly what I've noticed. Where yours is, is probably correct, especially if it does it's job and pulls it around every now and again. If you have time, I highly stress that you search my channel for "Pool Opening". I talk about many of the same things where you get totally different answers depending on who you ask, and every single person thinks they're right.

You're welcome.

I wouldn't have it any other way. You shouldn't either.

It could mean the belt that drives it is loose or worn out. It could mean the rotation sensor on the compressor is going bad. It could mean the engine RPM is too low for the compressor rotation sensor to be satisfied (you didn't say but if the engine is barely chugging over at 300RPM this could happen). Or, it could simply be a bad relay---and I gave you a NO COST FIX option that you can try first.

Same here. I was in a restaurant the other day and the LED light that was shining in the direction of the table was strobing, I had to ask the waitress for a different table!

You're welcome.

And just the basics is pretty much all anybody needs! My father always said the more complicated something was, the more likely it was to break. Time and again that has proven correct.

When TVs went flat, so did the sound. If your TV has good sound and/or you have a soundbar or other speakers, it's going to sound as good as any other player.

Thanks. This one really got me frustrated! That's another reason I hate Apple--they dumbed everything down to Mickey-Mouse levels, so dumb that you can't do anything (at least easily), and that makes the experience frustrating. It's funny you mention that! Years ago when I first went to The Sharkie Tank on Long Island, they had 2 lamps that were on the floor, one at each end of the giant window in the room. They pointed upwards and it was just an accent lighting technique. On either side was an outlet, and plugged into each one was a timer, both set to come on at say, 7PM. There was nothing there in the way, and nobody walked there. So I said to Sharkie that it's impossible to synchronize those timers and he agreed and said they come on within a few minutes of each other. And I'm saying to myself "This doesn't make a lot of sense. A house like that and this is the best you can get?" What I would have done was gotten a couple of cheap extension cords and plugged both of them into the same timer. Problem solved and they both come on automatically. While smart plugs were around at this time, they were still in their infancy. These days, they are commonplace. And in fact, there are 4 smart-controlled devices in my living room, and they are on a routine. And they come one within a couple seconds of each other, so it's still not an exact science. Yes, you did! That's an IKEA #99919 Indiglo Analog Clock. Good luck finding info on it, I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything. 2 years ago the battery in it went dead and I made a video about it, but that video hasn't been released. Wait, what, battery but it plugs in? Yeah. I think we have one IKEA here, and we went there once when we first got our apartment. Nothing appealed to us really. I bought that and maybe one other item. There were some small end table accent lamps that I am still kicking myself for not buying, but furniture-wise, there was nothing we ere interested in. Haven't been back since. But I bought that clock. I was sorely disappointed with it to find that it had a battery. The battery runs a plain old quartz clock movement. It plugs in so the electroluminescent display lights up. That's it. Perhaps that's another reason I never went back to IKEA.

@@jaykay18 Apple...I got a free iMac a couple of years back. They previous owners had wiped it so just needed to be setup with a fresh account. Apple made it IMPOSSIBLE to do that, basically bricked it. There were some other options I recall, but it involved going into the BIOS, which I am okay with, except for the fact that to get into the BIOS you must use an Apple keyboard, a regular keyboard won't work. And I didn't have that kind so it had just been sitting. Yea, I could do the extension cord thing too and it is the simplest and cheapest solution but it would also look a bit ugly. Actually by the time I go and buy an extension cord long enough the smart plug is probably the same price these days. Oh wow, that does sound disappointing. Would have been way better if the whole thing worked off the plug. Or at least used the battery as a backup. Although I suppose it was cheaper to manufacture this way.

@@ZCount A-HA! Exactly my point! Somebody gave me one as well, it's been sitting, never even tried to turn it on. Though I will say, that just for fun, many years ago when the first Imac in all those colors came out, I took the Apple USB keyboard and plugged it into a Compaq that was sitting nearby, and it worked. Just to see how universal USB was. Maybe not all the keys mapped, but you could type "hello" if you had to. That's the same thing I said at the Sharkie Tank. "Oh, don't want a cord running across there". "Yeah but nobody walks there, nobody will even see it." <dead air> Years later, Sharkie's parents decided to get rid of those lamps, and he knew immediately that I might be interested so he rescued them. Since the day I hooked them up, they've been on the same extension cord. Guaranteed to go on at the same time. I had them on a plug-in timer, video has been made, not released, but recently switched them over to a smart plug because I got a new set in from China. I couldn't tell with it in the package, but definitely would have been way better if it all worked off the plug, which was my main intention on buying it. I felt very cheated when I learned the battery ran the clock. The device sat in a box in our apartment, I never used it for years and years. It came to the house with us, still never used it. It's too small to be useful unless the outlet is high up on the wall like in a bathroom (at least here in the US). And even then, a standard outlet will only accept 2 plugs, one for a nightlight, the other left available for a shaver or hairdryer or somesuch device, so the clock doesn't have a home. It surfaces in an archaeological dig some time back so I put it there. I've actually looked at it a couple times since it's been there.

Great, it's a made-up name anyway.

Yes, I know full well about them, and it's totally against my mentality. There's plenty too much hash in the air now, that must be a cavalcade of it. My bottom line: I wish they made smart plugs with Ethernet ports. Maybe they do, I never looked. The best policy with wireless is never to use it. If you have to, make sure you have the least number of hops, the least number of "boostas" and make it as close to a wire as possible.

@@jaykay18 Out here in the sticks, the only hash is the kind in people’s basements, the kind at the diner, and the radiation coming off of this house. I went with that system because no amount of cursing, pleading, or hand grenades would make a difference. Other than the smart devices, “smart”phones, the stupid inkjet, and a computer or two, I tend to wire everything in the house. Phone system? Wired. My computer? Wired. I even finally got brave enough to run an Ethernet line into the garage. What’s it for? Who knows. But it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I’m eventually going to run some phone line out there and hang an old Western Electric on the wall. TP-Link (Toilet Paper Link) makes a WiFi Boostah with a smart plug built in. Those have Ethernet ports on them. That’s great! Now everyone can have 25 Boostahs clogging up the air. I’m really surprised nobody’s just made a generic smart plug with an Ethernet port on it. That would make me seriously reconsider the mesh system.

@@niks_crazy_world "Cursing, pleading, or hand grenades" is EXACTLY the same sort of thing I would say! And that's right, have and not need rather than need and not have. And don't forget, 2 is 1 and 1 is none. Part 2 will explain how it works and get a "new" Ethernet line to it. I'll give it to you this way: It never ceases to amaze me when Alexa doesn't balk at the command and just does what she's asked.

Wi-Fi extenders do have their time and place. But they should never be an actual solution.

Only washer twerps!

He had to make his catmeo appearance.

That's great news. So far, so good, short of an electrical issue with the 2-ton last summer, but you can't really blame that on the unit!

I'm not Mr. RozMoz, sorry. I'm a freelance reviewer, I test many products, put to use what I can, and give away the rest. There are a lot of "air fryer cookbooks" out there you can consider, they'll generally all have times and temperatures listed because let's face it, an air fryer is really nothing more than a toaster oven with the heating element on top.
