1. So it really is Isobars going drag

2. Do you get a platinum membership

3. and new name at 10,000 posts?

4. He's already racking 'em up for the next level... Way to go!

1. The transition wasn't intended or expected to fool anyone, especially considering where and how it occurred. I expected the transitional post, the nym tweak, and the related signature tweak to be pretty obvious.

2. Naaaah. Just the same old grief.

3. Far be it from me to disappoint folks who started and populated two whole threads on the looming Isogeddon.

4. If you think it's bad now, wait 'til the water temp drops to 46 degrees this fall.

as already alluded to, any bleach containing bathroom cleaner really works well, but dont do this on any expensive irrigated front lawn like i did, the management frowns on board shaped dead grass spots.

Eva the Board Lady used to use an ink eraser for tough spots on smooth surfaces, not sure if she still does. I've always used a combination of the above posted products: Simple Green + Comet with a scrub brush first, maybe some xylene for oil spots, polishing compound for smooth areas.

I renew filthy boards very effectively with this tripe whammy, a pair of sawhorses, and a hose with a jet nozzle.

Round 1: Nylon brush + a non-petroleum cleaner solution.
Round 2: Rubbing compound and a Skotchbrite pad (can leave residue in textured areas if not hosed off while still wet).
Round 3: Bleach solution on any remaining spots.

Do we have 'isobras' and 'isobars'???

It was predicted by others to concur with isobars' 10,000th post. I figured for everyone's safety I'd just change gears.
