@Mossy @Mañ'O'Green for

I'm home. Little sore from having that big needle inserted in my stomach other than that just tired

glad to hear that you are home, much better than the hospital. Good luck with your recovery, I hope it goes well, and quickly.

You and me both some days.

We do live in the best time to be stoners imo. The weed is dank its easy to get beans and to to grow own can be fairly cheap.

My kids said there was to much cheese

not possible.

I was using one of these when I was 19. I wonder how many of you have used one, or even know what it is

About when I was ready to finish university, the first electronic calculator (Hewlett Packard, natch) was just coming out, but only the rich kids had them. Price was (keep in mind that this was in the 70's) close to $1000Cdn. Nowadays, calculators as capable are included as gifts in boxes of breakfast cereal. Cell phones, or something like them, existed only in Dick Tracey (there's another dated topic) cartoons.

@Olderfart thnx for the rep, and glad you had a giggle!


I know exactly what a slide rule is! I am an old fart as well!

you don't have to be that old to know what a slide ruler is Now where did you hide the squad car?

Anybody around here know a way to plug a pin hole leak in a copper plumbing pipe before I go to home depot tomorrow and get the wrong thing? Cold water line... Flex tape has it at least dripping into a bucket instead of shooting 4ft across the basement...

I'd either cut it and solder a union over the joint, or hose clamp a piece of rubber ( cured silicone is good) over the hole. If you go with solder, you have to get all the water (all, every damn drop) out of the joint before putting the thing together. You will also need to move the cut ends apart enough to get the union over the ends, which could be difficult depending on access to the rest of the pipe, and how it is anchored. The hose clamp would be simplest.

One detail here is why the pinhole? If from internal corrosion, this will only be the first shot across the bow. Copper really does not like low pH if that is an issue with your water supply.

Good luck with it.

Comes from the furnace but it's cold. Hole is maybe 10ft from furnace. I know from using jb in the past that, if it doesn't work 1st shot I'm more screwed then leaving it

If this is the condensate line from a high efficiency furnace, it needs to be replaced with plastic. Condensate from these furnaces picks up enough acid from the air to dissolve copper. I've been there, which is why I know...

Squad car???

Last time I soldered something was high school But I'm pretty confident I can totally do that. Think I even have an iron around here somewhere. So cut the water and drain the pipes, then solder the hole? How long to let it set before turning the water on?

As soon as it is cold. The key to soldering is don't try to melt the solder with the torch, let the hot copper do it. The solder should melt on contact at the joint, and wick easily all the way in to it. That is definitely the way to do it, but you really need to know what caused the problem before repairing that pipe. If it is a condensate line, it needs to be replaced with plastic. If you have had other pinholes in this line, I expect it needs complete replacement.

Is the line always under pressure, or only intermittently? If only intermittently when furnace is running, that would be consistent with a condensate line. The only other reason for the line, I think, is for a humidifier, in which case, it will be under house line pressure all the time, and acid corrosion is less likely to have completely eaten the line inside.

How many plants do you grow, in what size space?

I do a perpetual grow after three are harvested I plant 3 more. Its about once a month. So 9 at most. In three stages i got a tent for each Stage. A 2ftx2ftx4ft to start them. A27in x27in x63in to veg/start bud. Then a32inx32inx63in to put them in when in full on flower. I move them up as needed as well not always 3 in each tent.

It was just a old joke I remember old timers saying something along the lines of "where did you hide the squad car dick Tracy" stoned and probably got it all wrong
