Water work

I put in 3 miles on the treadmill yesterday at the gym and was rewarded with a painful lower back last night and this morning.  I popped aspirin.  I’m hoping it clears up quickly.  I am playing in a vball tournament in South Beach on Sunday. 

Last night I did some more work on the water softener.  I had the manual for the unit printed out and went through it.  I discovered that the default setting for the controller is to not soften the water.  Instead it will function as a tannin filter only by default.  I also was able to customize the duration and configuration of the clean/recharge cycles.  I’m hoping the change will return us to the realm of soft water.

I didn’t see Obama’s speech last night but heard about the congressman yelling out LIAR when Obama stated that his health plan did not extend coverage to illegal aliens. (something I would not want either)  I think it is disgusting how a culture of disrespect for the office of the president of the US is being cultivated by the right.  Sure you can disagree with policy but this still is the president of our country, show some respect. I mean WTF, this wasn’t a rally in a parking lot at Wal-mart, this was the f’ing United States congress.  The outburst didn’t come from some religious zealot or fat talking head personality, but from a congressman.   Joe Wilson should be ashamed of himself. Apparently he is. Dumb ass. I wasn’t surprised when I saw he was from South Carolina.
