Pepto Bismol too funny. Horton I don't understand your S.W.M.B.O. abbreviation--assume it's your wife. It's like texting which I don't do although my daughter texts a mile a minute. The stuff I mentioned came from a health food store and no I didn't buy it as was way too pricey. I checked the health food store out as know they carry "weird" stuff. Anything from a health food store is way over priced which is why I don't go there. If you find a CD source for the real deal let me know--. I did order some from fishsempai. Andrew waived the shipping costs as I order ProGold from him all the time. I also got my wakins from him 4 or 5 years ago. He no longer carries them as the wakins he had from whatever breeder he orders from had those lumpy growths. Some of mine had those as well. He said he had lanced some and removed some but they just come back. Are a genetic defect on wakins. Won't kill the fish and aren't contagious just ugly. He sells koiclay at $29.95 for a 5 lb box. I know David will freak at that but in CD you only have some options for some stuff. Gotta take my daughter to work.

@fauguy - I live in NE Fort Lauderdale, zip code 33308. After testing the water from my kitchen tap with a Sofchek water hardness test strip I picked up at the shop where I purchased my Miele DW supplies (a vacuum shop at Commercial & 18th Ave.), I set my DW settings to 15 gpg. If I end up having a Miele tech out here at any point, I will ask them to recheck the water hardness. Our DW allows me to set the water hardness at the precise setting, as opposed to setting based on ranges. Unfortunately, I don't have much confidence in information obtained from my local water utility department; that's why I tested the water hardness myself. BTW, I spent time on the phone today with one of the founders of NY Minute, the company I booked based on your excellent recommendation. In my case, the installers left much to be desired. The lead installer spoke only broken English and communicating with him was a challenge. I put down layers of beach towels on the floor surrounding my dishwasher and the kitchen sink, yet the lead installer repeatedly ignored my requests to set his wrench, drill, etc. on the towels, and I repeatedly heard him dropping his tools onto the floor. As a result, I found multiple areas of damage (divets) in the marble flooring when they finished. Additionally, I just discovered that it appears I am missing two pieces of my dishwasher installation. Earlier today when I phoned Miele tech support to ask about how to tell when a cycle was complete, I learned that in addition to the audible setting (which had been disabled when our DW was installed) there should be a "prism" mounted to the underside of the granite counter, just above the Miele control panel on the DW, that serves to reflect the red indicator light that illuminates and flashes when a cycle has completed. According to the Miele tech, this prism is shipped in the box with the DW and comes with a corresponding stainless steel frame. Both pieces are to be attached by the installer. NY Minute's install team did not install, discuss, or leave me any such parts. Although my keyword search of the PDF manual does not indicate any matches for "prism," I discussed this with NYM today and also have a call in to the Miele Territory Manager who handles Miele issues for the dealer from whom we purchased our DW (FL Builder Appliances).

quote" I have to ask, why the dark drain covers in a light colored pool. Is that to keep the daughters boy friends from bonking their heads on the bottom? "quote Micheal and I spot the deep end drains as an intended landing measure for jumping off the roof of the Pavilion, LOL!!!!! Actually I ordered out everything in the front end of construction and had planned on Midnight Blue. Later when we moved to plaster, due to cost overruns, I switched to Caribbean Blue to save money but forgot about the frames/grates and wall fittings that I'd bought 6 month before being black. I told the applicators to just install them anyway. Dave, I'd love to ride Glamis, I've seen a lot of videos of the riding and jumping going on there. I'm certain I don't have the Cajones to jump those insane 5th gear pinned dunes. They're wicked and insane. You sound a helluva a lot like me, I've been riding since 72. We have lots of kids and toys. 2 ZX10R Ninja's, 13 dirtbikes, 4 jet skis, and 2 450 race quads. In the National Forest my favorite ride is a 03 CR250 stroke with narrowed bars/barkbusters and an off road lighting kit. At the track my favorite scooter in an 07 YZ450, and for Hare Scrambles an 05 CRF450R or a 01 WR426F. I have 3 of my old Husky's and the kids have like 6 different bikes to choose from, 2 125's, 3 250's and a YZ426. My major malfunction is that I love to buy toys but it takes an "Act of Congress" to make me sell one. Shoot me an e-mail the next time you come to Texas and have a weekend day here. If I'm not obligated for anything to do we'll go ride. Street or dirt makes no difference to me, the best moments in my life have been on bikes. Check out this link from a recent ride I had in Europe, it was pool related so I made a thread for it. See ya, Kelly Here is a link that might be useful: European vacation

What about my geographical area- central Florida. 2004?? had three hurricanes in just a few weeks. Many , many people were out of city/county power for six plus weeks. Gas types not feasible because trees blocked roads for weeks, no gas was able to be delivered. I have three friends close friends with generators. Two of them have Generac- one has 9,000 the other 7,000 I think. Both ran for weeks. One of them starts each month and runs for 10 minutes with self check system. This one is natural gas. Other is propane. Next door neighbor has gas 4,000??. Used sparingly during storm- and I do mean sparingly- bath water/toilet was taken from rain spouts (never ending rain). Used for frig only. Grill for cooking. That generator would not start again when checked/cleaned for storage after hurricanes. I want a propane for upcoming build. Acreage/rural, so no natural gas. What brands do those of you who do not like Generac suggest?? Thx
