This just came in, it’s a solar powered skimmer for my pool. The pool is closed but now I feel like pulling the cover and tossing a bunch of floating debris in it so I can test this thing out.

So this one just runs on / near the surface?

Let us know how it works. I may get one.

Will do. It’s got great reviews but I need to find out for myself before the date it becomes non-refundable.

On the surface only. Here is a link to one review on YouTube. This compliments the cordless pool cleaner I bought a few months ago. Which by the way has been awesome so far.

Great. Since I have a pool cage, I usually only get debris like dirt from the screen on the bottom of my pool. But my co worker does not have a cage and may benefit from this.

So I bought a beer fridge for the garage from Home Depot last week. It delivered to the store and I picked it up, no damage to the packaging. I get it home, and the freezer door and fridge door show damage. I call Home Depot and they credited me 22% back to my card without question or evidence. I expected to argue with several people for the second half of my day.. I guess I go back to work now??

Thanks for posting this. I bought a similar fridge from Home Depot a few months ago. I brought it home instead of having it delivered. The box was not damaged when I opened it but the fridge still had a big dent in it. Since it didn’t change the performance my wife and I decided to keep it as is. Now I’m wondering if I should give them a call to ask for a partial refund but probably won’t since so much time has past between the purchase date and now.

this burns a little more in that I could have bought a used fridge online for $50 to $100 but decided to go new at a cost of $300+.

My two pool robots doing the jobs they were designed to do very well, so far anyway.

This is the appliance discrepancy number you need to call.

When in doubt, leave it out!

Better mileage with the lower rolling resistance, he's practically a superhero with the way he's saving the planet like that! Dammit man, show some respect for that 3-tired genius!

Well, I think he’s in a learning phase as his truck has a temp tag. Maybe he is running some DOE trials to do some comparisons lmfao.

I bet it just happened. Back in the days when I owned a roofing company with my brother I've had this happen a few times. I was able to just remove the tire and limp back home with one wheel missing, or limp into a discount tire to get the tire fixed. I've literally had a blow out, used the spare that's mounted on the trailer, and had a second blowout on a trip before. Shit just happens sometimes.

Are you confident that there are two tires on the passenger side??

I would like to hope that’s the case, but previous sightings have shown otherwise. Maybe this is a one off, but it seems more times than not, it’s a blow out, tire is removed and not re applied.

At least you only witnessed it and weren’t in the tow vehicle.

A few years ago I lost a tire on my boat trailer and a few months later I was a passenger in my brother’s truck when the uhaul trailer he was towing his jeep with lost a tire. Both events caused instant and hours long high stress.

Lesson learned: when in doubt add grease to all bearing buddies. Better to blow the seals on bearing buddies by over filling them than allow them to go dry and loose the bearing, and in my case the spindle and break caliper/rotor. I ended up replacing the axle so the total cost of not keeping the bearing properly greased was well over $1,000.

It's a fair cop ?‍

I saw this yesterday,



So I hit the road heading South…



And ended up here.



I covered our cat for a long Winter nap.



They put another PDQ 36 next to us. There are cats everywhere.
