  • I Googled how to paint Rhinoliner,

    it is a multi step process, sand it after applying, degrease, prime with epoxy, then topcoat. I doubt all these steps were followed. The pool will have to be drained and proper steps will have to be taken. Many millions of dollars. You can’t cheap out on this.

  • Great Podcast!

    I have been a long-time fan of MK Ham’s insightful, intelligent conservative commentary. Very refreshing to hear fun, but well grounded discussions on the political topics of the day from people with strong backgrounds who actually “touch grass”. Very glad the show is back!

  • 250 year old Original American Revolution documents by date

    Great idea for helping me celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Reading original documents with only basic explanations and no spin. I also enjoy the occasional laid back conversational news episodes by a couple of typical American parents who also happen to be media pros who demonstrate how to balance work life and also discuss news with a sense of humor and calmness (not rage!) and without going off the deep end as so many do (in both directions).
