    Default Re: A bit confused

    Now I have Carl pittying me!!!

    Did it xmas eve, middle of the night. I am a pro Firefighter/Medic and had a drunk guy that got pounded well by his friends..nice guys. He was behind a house with a million broken down cars and I had to put him on a backboard due to Mr. Liability and low-and-behold... no way to get him between the cars...way too narrow. So everyone starts to whine and no one wants to do anything but complain, so I grabbed the board and drug his butt up and over about 4 cars. When I got to the other side and started to lower...POP! Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, thank you Santa. Then I garnered a wonderful butt-chewing for performing an unsafe act upon myself...wtf? Lazy crew did not want to lift, ambulance cried and complained and no way out except that.... so I did what every good subordinate does, throw his supervisor under the bus....hey, he could not make up his mind, my firefighter was a on probation so he was worthless, I hate sitting around roasting marsh mellows and took the initiative.

    PT is going fine, life sucks after all those good drugs they used for a block wore off. So I have been one arm building my deck and fence and post hole digging... tis the life of Bob.....have 3 boys but will they help dear old dad....ROFLMAO!!!!! Worst part is you cannot sleep, the shoulder just nags, nags, nags like a mother-in-law..then Workers Comp had me wait it out for 3.5 months... but I did have a great surgeon.

    OK, back to what is truly my pain.....pH. Mr. pH is down again to 7.0 and TA has dumped to 190...YEAH!!!!

    So I keep on turning the water heavily... check the pH and keep it down until my TA gets to what? 150-170ppm?

    So I will need to shock the pool when my pH rises back up into the acceptable range and my TA is basically where it is at or a bit lower?? Shocking will involve 2 gallons of bleach to get me into my range for shock. Pheeeeeeeeeew. Think I will go run my 110# jack hammer to alleviate my pool chemistry nightmare...where is my vicoden?

    Bob-
