My father uses Spectra. Price depends on the model you get. Works good as far as I can tell and I've had it well over 100 feet. We've had this one more than 5 years and have had zero complaints about our grading.

today didnt feel as hot as yesterday, and most of our pools were in the shade. especially the one that was 100% surrounded by a deck, and 3-4 of us spent pretty much the entire 2 hours under it. no sun there

also switched to my performance tune for this tank and got 15 mpg

off to a ceremony or something for a scholarship i got.

We had that love letter from the mail woman stuck to our mirror after a 2 lawn stop.

Apparently we should park in the sun (versus the shady spot we were in) so we can get in a 130* truck after mowing/trimming in 100* weather so that she doesn't have to get her lazy, entitled government employee azz out of her mail van and walk the 20 feet around the truck to put mail in the 2 boxes.

She is getting a return message on the back of her note taped to the mailboxes next week.
