Had one for a while, got rid of it when we had kids. Scared of them getting in it and drowning.

Anyways, upkeep was pretty easy. Just keep the floater with chlorine tablets in it and shock it after each use. Ours was the jacuzzi name brand and we were happy with it.

Love sitting out in one when its ice cold out.

Cool, thanks. I'm mounting the old 42" plasma on the back of the house so I can watch the foosball while I sit in it. Redneck heaven.

We had a standalone hot tub when we lived in Kansas and I loved it. Up keep is simple! If you bring a sample of your water to where you purchase your chemicals they will test it for you and tell you exactly what you need to add.

Spend as much money as you can on a spa. you can get the cheap ones at Home Depot but they won't last. Where do you live? If Charlotte, I would go some place like Rec Warehouse to look at spas. The two most important things to look at in my opinion are pump size and amount of jets. Once you find a spa you like and can afford, ask to test it out. Most reputable spa dealers will let you come back after the store has closed and actually sit in the spa.

Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will be more than happy to answer them.

Whats up Bo? Stay away from Rec Warehouse. They sell cheap tubs that fall a part. They will not service the tubs like they promise in the warranty. Many of the tubs are built specifically for Rec Warehouse so you can only get service and parts directly from them. They in turn charge about ten times the normal rate because they know you cant get parts anywhere else. I bought a tub from them several years ago. I had 13 service calls in the first twelve months and they finally told me that they would not come out any more although the tub was still under warranty. I spoke to the president of the comapny in Florida and he suggested that I just sue them. The tub sat empty for a couple years and I recently sold it on Craigslist for $500.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
