  1. So my pool pump has sprung a leak. Pool techs are quoting an average of $3k to replace. I thought they were all full of shit until I saw these damn pumps averaging $2400 online. SMH. A little research shows it’s the main shaft seal that needs replacing. A $43 part. But one tech said he’d rather dismantle his truck’s transmission. Is it worth looking at this route? I can probably just replace the pump myself and save some labor but still. Do any of these cheaper 3hp Chinese pumps work as well or should I just replace with another pentair and chalk it up to being a damn homeowner? 
    I’ll hang up and listen.

  2. Good luck.  
     

    A telecommunication outage caused Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controllers in Dallas to lose radar and some communications Friday afternoon, leading to flights being stopped at the area’s airports.

    “The FAA is slowing flights at Dallas Love Field and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport due to a reported local telephone company equipment issue,” the FAA said in a statement. “The FAA is working with the telephone company to determine the cause.”

    Air traffic controllers rely on telecommunications lines from local phone companies to connect their facilities, including the airport towers and the Terminal Radar Approach Control, which handles flights arriving or departing airports.

    “We’ve lost all radar and phone communications,” the controller in the Dallas Love Field Air Traffic Control tower said in audio recorded by LiveATC.net. “I’m not departing anybody until we can get a system setup. We have no coms with approach right now,”

    “Approach wanted to pass on to you to stop all departures. They can’t get a hold of you. They are having some com issues, I guess,” a Southwest pilot told the Love Field tower.

    “Yeah, I think the entire Metroplex just went down,” the controller responded on the radio. “We got a hold of somebody.”

  3. Standard league, sit one.

    DK Metcalf (@SEA). Playing against old team… does he go off?

    Hollywood Brown (vs PHL).  No worthy or rice…. What’s he gonna do?

    Trey McBride (vs CAR). Best TE in league. 

    We are not a TE league but the top 2-3 usually score and get picked up. W/T.

  4. Hey party people. My pool sweep became disconnected from the wall and I can’t figure out what happened. The little trim piece broke off with it, but there’s literally nowhere for the thing to connect to. I’m not sure what happened. On a scale of one to fucked what am I looking at?
