LMAO Meech !!!!!!!!!! You had me going there. :) Glad it was warm enough in Georgia to go swimming. It barely hit the 70's here yesterday. :( This weekend looks promising. :)

You lucky duck! I am envious. I am easily identifiable around pools...I'm the one with the mini-med large plastic activity guard strapped around my waist like a spacewoman. ha ha. :cool:

Well Dix' if it also doubles as a floatation device, you could at least get rid of the orange water wings on your arms! ;)

[Funnygrl]

Sorry Amanda. I'll have to tell you what I told a friend in Arizona. YOU CAN KEEP THAT KIND OF WEATHER !!!!!!!!!!!!! :D (Hit 85 today). I like the warm weather cause I like to swim (Cin sits in the corner being jealous of Meech ;) )

Aww Cin are ya sure? Highs of 120 just doesn't do it for ya? Weather that feels like walking into a hot oven just doesn't float your boat? lol...actually I'm not a big fan of the desert. I'm gonna move as soon as I graduate.

NO TY !!!!!!! I'll keep my weather.
Sorry to go :topic: Meech. :D :-

[soremom]

I have to ask Meech, were you nervous going in the water in the beginning? I have the 1200 and last summer it must have taken me 15 minutes to submerge it and worried the whole time. Later in the day when all was working well, I was walking on air. Can stay in the pool with my youngest and not have to go through hassle of disconnect. Just curious if anyone else was worried in the beginning about it being waterproof.

Actually, Kim, I've yet to put either my Deltec or my Animas in the water....:whistling (I know, I'm being chicken...lol). Hopefully, I'll go swimming (at least some) this summer, so maybe then, I'll dunk my pump(s). :D

[archimeech]

I was very nervous, but firgured that I better go ahead and try otherwise, what's the point of having a waterproof pump if you don't stick it in the water. Kinda like all these people that buy 4 wheel drive vehicles and never use it! Don't get me wrong, those of you who live out in the middle of nowhere; if I lived there, I'd have a 4x4. I just don't get the soccermoms that drive their kiddies to school and use the 4x4 stick shift to hang their Prada handbag from. I own 2 SUVs neither one is a 4x4 because, I simply don't need it. On the flip side, I do go to the beach a lot and this waterproof pump is awesome!
Have I rambled enough? :D

LOL! I wonder about this on occasion myself. I used to do a lot of road bicycling before I took up running and I was constantly getting tossed about by the wake turbulence from those @#$% Suburbans...and 99% of the time they were carrying one lone passenger. Plus, my last house was on a road with a private school and every morning a soccer mom in a Hummer would drive past to drop off her kids. :confused:

Where is Duck when you need him? Sounds like Meech is itchin' for a Prada handback to replace is other - - - man purse - - - ??

Duck, buy him one would you???

[archimeech]

Those new H2s really make me sick! I absolutely adore the H1 Hummer based on the military HUMV. Very sparse, beefy, and Diesel!!!! Just what it needs to be. It's truly the ultimate SUV. The H1 gets about 14/18 city/hwy for gas mileage. Not bad for something that's classified as essentially a 1-1/2 ton truck. They won't list the mileage of the of either, but I'll bet the H2 gets less than 6 in he city. Now as for this, pansy-A**ed ,soccermom driving thing they call the H2; shame on AM General and GM. They've cow towed to the all mighty dollar and made a giagantic, gas-guzzling monster that is both costly in price and for the envirnment and it's just darned ulgy to boot!

[dixiepixie64]

ha ha, Meech, well we have completely sidetracked your thread, but now you've got me started on one of my peeves...

I agree completely about those H2s. We have quite a few wealthy folks around town that don't seem to know where to throw their cash first and so there are a bunch of H2s on the road. One fellow is so blatant he got "GLOBLWARM" or some such on his license plate. I just have to shake my head when I see them pass me by... :confused:

Did I say yet how much I dislike the Suburbans and Ford Explosions? ha ha

Dave Barry wrote a commentary once renaming all those vehicles and it was quite hilarious. I wish I could locate it online to cut and paste it for ya'll...

[Zokes]

:topic:

One major snowstorm where the soccer mom has to drive kiddies home from school and you'll be glad she has 4x4.

The H2s, however, are overkill.

[archimeech]

Zokes, lol.
Like I said. If you NEED 4wheel drive, by all means, get it. One major rain down here and if you live down a dirt road, you'll be knee deep in Muddy Red Georgia Clay before you now it! I have nothing against SUVs, both of my vehicles are mid-sized ones. one is an Isuzu rodeo, the other is the same but called the Honda Passport. I love them, but neither is a 4x4. They're great because, I've got my truck, but I also have 4 seats, 4 doors, and a nice cargo area out of the rain and weather. I was just making an analogy to the many, many people that never drive their SUVs off the road or in the snow, and having a water proof pump and never getting into the water with it. By the way, from what I hear, the Subaru Forester out performs many of the larger Full sized beasts up there when it comes to snow and ice.

[Zokes]

Meech,

I was down your way once about 20 years ago. That dirt (clay) really IS RED. It's one of the things I remeber most. (that and playing golf in oppressive July heat)

[CarlyesHope]

The H2 is not a Hummer and it never will be a Hummer. It is a Tahoe, GM wasn't even smart enough to build on a Suburban frame, it is on the smaller frame, I know because I worked as a designer for GM Truck when they were first talking about buying Hummer out... I hate the H3 even more, and I suspect the H4 and H5 and H327, because you know GM will keep this going come Heck or High water.

Oh and us northerners have to have four wheel drive, what do you think gets us out of the darn pot holes??? Seriouly though, big snowfall, lack of funds to plow it off the interstate, me and my four wheel drive can still do 80 MPH while everyone else is in a ditch - - Unless of course there is ice, then the four wheel drive won't help me one bit.....

Soooooo, your pump worked fine under water huh???

[archimeech]

I was wondering about the frame on that thing, the H2 is nothing like the REAL one. Of course, I don't have $50,000 for the H2 much less, $130,000 for the H1. Like the former Governor Jessie "The Body" Venture said on that crackpot, Bill Maher's show once. Live in Minnesota for 1 winter and tell me you don't need one of those huge suburbans with 4 wheel drive!

Yeah it was pretty cool, I even bolused while holding it underwater just to see. I love it, no more sticking it in the beach bag of cooler while I'm off running after the kids.

[UpNorth]

I think i have seen the worst car... when i was in LA nearly 2 years ago. One of them big monsters came on the road, and they'd made it even HIGHER! Would have been a piece of cake to drive under it with the lincoln towncar i was in :eek:

I never disconnect my pump when i take a shower or bath, it's a 1200 so it is waterproof, and if it hadn't been even if it says it is, there would have been something wrong with it that would have to be fixed :nerd:

Where do you "hang" your pump when in the bath or shower? You can be disconnected for an hour with no problem, you know. My pump is water tight, but I disconnect it for the 10 minutes I'm in the shower. It would be a rare day that I would get .1U during that 10 minutes. I don't really understand what the point of taking your pump into the shower is.
Can you explain, please?
Ricardo

[UpNorth]

I just let it hang around or put it on the washbasin. No problems:)

[Dewey]

Like you Meech, I took my pump into the pool for the first time the other day (the Cozmo)...That was Awesome! :DIt was so weird not to have to put the pump in the Sport Guard or anything else! Too Cool! :thumbsup:
