Cassi Creek: The pool has been open and available for three
weeks. Using the solar blanket for heat,
we’ve obtained a water temp of 74 °F.
It would be better for Gloria if we could get the temp up 10
degrees.
The cost of
replacing parts on the existing heater is higher than the cost of a new
heater. Fortunately we found a used
heater that is supposed to be barely used and in working condition. It was even affordable. The heating/cooling company that is supposed
to install the heater is backed up at least two weeks.
The last
three weeks have been mostly rainy and overcast. Not the best environment to warm an in ground
pool with a solar blanket. However, the
blanket keeps the pool cleaner than it would be otherwise. And the cooler air temps decrease the amount
of chemicals needed to maintain a clean and clear, balanced water column.
To be
continued.
After note: The gutter company did arrive yesterday, only an
hour later than promised. They worked
quickly, safely, and left with only a few corrections/corrections to be
finished Wednesday. We liked what they
did complete and paid them. I suspect we’ll
find out how the new gutters work before dark.
Danger in 3-D: The Rapid Spread of Printable Pistols
I’ve
been hearing about this for some time now.
I am uncomfortable with it on many levels.
While
we can attempt to deny people with mental health problems access to firearms,
it becomes a much more difficult task if those hopefully excluded people need
only a 3-D printer to circumvent new or existing regulations.
The designer
in this article obviously thinks he needs some sort of protection from a
hostile government just waiting to confiscate his firearms. Providing a means for the external terrorists
that most 2nd amendment freaks claim to hate is not the act of a responsible
citizen in this or any other nation.
I have
no problem with registering firearms. I
do have a serious problem with back door and parking lot sales/trades that
circumvent current laws. Unlike my
neighbors and the NRA, I don’t believe that Obama’s forces are poised to sweep
up all privately owned firearms. Cheney
was much more likely to favor widespread firearms seizures.
