Bad Bob...might you know: when a high def security camera loses night vision but begins to work again when it is daylight, does it need replacing or fixing?
ProducerBadBob:
Not worth fixing. Sounds like the IR LED's have stopped working.
ProducerBadBob:
Cost you more to have someone open it up and find the microscopic connector than to just replace.
ProducerBadBob:
there's a ring of emitters around the lens that provide the "Night Vision" Sounds like they stopped working.
Sungold:
OK, thanks, at least I have something to go on now and sound intelligent about such thinks while doing it. Thanks!

Cats don't care about water being thrown on them, they keep coming back. Only thing that works here is that we have trained our 13 lb. watch dog to chase them off!
Sungold:
Of course, she works the back yard only!

Please welcome Dan who just joined the chat.
Dan:
The waterslide is a ridiculous idea!
Dan:
Why is it the city of Redding would even consider it?
Dan:
I don't care if they bring the water from NY, give water to families who can't afford it. How about that?
Dan:
Pledges from bif business to save water, THEY SHOULD BE CONSERVING BECAUSE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
CoachBob:
Are those companies gonna turn the water back on if the slip and slide goes a
CoachBob:
slide goes away?
Dan:
Shasta Regional making a pledge, how about we make a pledge to go to Mercy Hospital instead of SR, I will save more money going there!!
Dan:
Just a marketing game for a for profit company
Dan:
Water evaporates, there is going to be a waste of water!
Dan:
This is truly unbelievable!
Sungold:
There are so many comments on Slide the City on the internet. Many are very negative and many cities have declined the event. The more I read about it, the more I am not in favor of it
Dan:
Did the City think about the people who are being fined by Bella Vista Water for going over their alotment!!
Jarhead:
shouldn't water our lawns because of evaporation but a water slide will be saving water? what a spin !! must be a marketing person behind this...
Dan:
Look at what is happening in these water districts people are being asked to get buckets and use the gray water in their yards, I cannot believe the Council would even consider this!
Dan:
If the clowns on the council do this they will deserve all the bad press they get and I will make sure they know about it
Sungold:
Kurt Starman came knocking on my door one day on his way home from work to tell me my hose was running out in the street. We had a down pour the day before and we were draining our pool into the storm drain which goes into clear creek. I was appalled that
Sungold:
he would do that.
Jarhead:
is there a chance Rocky worked on any of these council members campaigns ? just looking for a reason they would even consider this..
Sungold:
This was before the drought, now we drain the pool into a water storage tank
Dan:
I think it is important the media in this town get all over this and shame the council for even considering it
Sungold:
Dan have you called anyone on the council to let them know
Carl:
Gary says for pewople to call the council or email and say they are against the project
Sungold:
I wonder if anyone who is against this event has called them
Dan:
How Does it surprise anyone this young man would want a waterslide, would Francie or any other council member go down the slide?
Sungold:
I have found they are very good at reading their emails, and returning messages
Dan:
You have to be 10 to go down the slide
Dan:
Common sense Carl, we have to call or write a letter
Sungold:
I think it is going to draw a lot of lookers...it is expensive and most families with a lot of kids are not going to spend that money for something like that
Dan:
Disgusted really disgusted
Dan:
How much money is this going to bring to the city? We have Shasta Lake and people are going to go down a water slide
CoachBob:
Agreed Dan. Rocky sites 3 companies that he was in bed with on Meas. B. So what? Again, will they turn ON the water if this things doesn't go thru? NO. They won't
Dan:
The thought this is going to bring awareness to the drought, ridiculous!
Sungold:
Some cities complained that participants had to walk down because the city did not have any hills steep enough to allow a good slide down. Why would Slide the City wasted the money of the public if the landscape was not right?
Sungold:
We also have a Water Works Park.....
CoachBob:
All of us drive drunk. Sends a "positive" message about drunk driving, right?
Sungold:
Time to go....
Dan:
Good Point
CoachBob:
And shoot our guns out of the car windows...sends a message about gun control, huh?
CoachBob:
See ya Sunny
Dan:
How about not doing it and send a message ...get the big companies to pledge anyway
CoachBob:
Dan, Rocky's 3 companies were the 3 he was a party with on Measure B to get the hotel built. This is so transparent it's silly
Dan:
The Shasta Regional example, why are they not promoting their conservation? tie it into the waterslide is such a bad idea
ProducerBadBob:
Last Monday I went to the Yuba Post Office...there was a cardboard hooch someone had built across the street from the vets hall, people were walking around it, but it was this structure leaning between two posts and someone sleeping inside it...seriously?
Dan:
The hotel is not up yet, is Turtle Bay promoting the slide?
Dan:
A cardboard box can be very comfortable
CoachBob:
Yes. TBay is one of the 3 Rocket claims are saving water.
CoachBob:
(Yes, Gary, saw it in a bathroom down the valley)
Dan:
So this is about politics?
CoachBob:
(Just a joke)
CoachBob:
Damn straight it's about politics...and a young marketers drive for publicity at the community expense
Dan:
Yes to a for profit company to bring pledges, when they can get the pledge because they are doing the right thing.
CoachBob:
Again, just too stupid for words. Take care all. Outta here
Dan:
What happened to Doing the right thing, why does there have to be an incentive?
CoachBob:
Well, Dan, kids these days have to be paid big $$'s for A's and B's or they wouldn't try lolol
Dan:
You may be right
CoachBob:
Take care
