  1. My hometown has the current most snow in the US. Even they don't know what to do with it. More than 90 inches in a week if anyone is interested: http://www.denverpost.com/2017/01/11/snow-crested-butte-colorado-snowiest-town/

  2. I hope the craigslist UI design is just an april fools joke. The site is ruined.

      Looks normal today. What did they do to it?

    2. jestep

      They removed all categories. Basically looked like the original google, with a search box, and a few links to community, for sale, etc. Completely ruined the ability to browse at all.

  3. War of the world lightning storm down South last night. I think my fish even tried to run away.

  4. Anyone interested in some backyard ducks? I'm placing an order for some ducklings next week and it's way cheaper for shipping to buy a larger quantity. Comment or shoot me a PM if you're interested.

  5. Has anyone tried 1/8" (.125) ID RO tubing instead of normal .17"? I had some normal tubing rupture on me under normal pressure and need to prevent it from happening again.

      It was between the faucet connection and the RO unit. Had been operating in the same place for about 24 months as well, so definitely not an issue of the line getting damaged.

      What material is your tubing made of? Is it thin wall?

      Running the normal BRS .17 ID LLDPE tubing. I'm running through walls in a few places so while this leak was in my garage and wasn't a problem, a leak inside a wall would be extremely bad. Found the thicker .125"ID on a plastic website.

  6. Screwed up a GFO reactor flow rate and turned my sandbed rust brown, doh...

  7. What does everyone do with the plastic netting they wrap Christmas trees in? This stuff is like soda can rings on crack...

    1. stoneroller

      stoneroller

      Cut up and recycle with fishing line. There are collection spots for that.

    2. jestep

      Yeah, we were working on cutting it up, but it's a crazy amount of work. Probably at least a whole hour, if not 2, to get through a 9ft net. We still have one from last year as well with even smaller netting.

      Hit it with a blow torch? why cut when you can melt? :)

  8. Is anyone or does anyone know a mechanic that can do a shock replacement with parts that I already have? My shop originally told me they'd do it with my parts then changed their mind after the truck was dropped off.

      It's just a 4wd xterra. I have no problem DIY but I'm not messing with swapping the coil springs. Had a bad experience with a portable compressor a few years back, never again. Shop was unwilling to compromise on doing it, wasn't an issue of money.

      I'll check out the other places as well, there's a Lambs near my house. I've been way turned off on them since I called them out trying to rip my mom off with about $500 in completely unnecessary work like...

    3. jestep

      jestep

      ..fuel and oil treatments and rebuilding almost new brake calipers.

      If I can just get a shop to swap the springs for me that's probably enough.

    4. ckyuv

      ckyuv

      Yeah Ive only used the lambs in cedar park on 1431. I had them replace the front coil springs on my 2015 with 2" lift ones and they charged me $110

  9. One more request. Need to borrow a 3/8 or 1/2 cordless impact driver for a day or two... Can trade beer, a frag, or something else. Shoot me a PM if anyone has one they can spare to lend for a few days.

      Got one if you want to borrow it sir. I'll be gone this weekend anyways so I won't miss it. Just text me. 512-689-6435

  10. Do any LFS's sell CO2 resistant PE or PP tubing?

      I just used regular RODI line left over from installing my system. Victoly had a bunch.

    3. jestep

      I didn't even think of that. I have a ton of it in the garage.

    4. jestep

      So I tried using some and it's almost impossible to get on a hose barb. Is there some trick to it like boiling water?

  11. Yeah first water change in 10 months...

    1. FarmerTy

      FarmerTy

      Why did you buckle? Stay strong Jestep! Haha.

  12. Anyone know where I can get plastic egg crate locally?

      Sorry Richard. Messed that one up......

      they don't keep it with the light fixtures. Go back to the back where they have the ceiling tiles etc.

    4. Neon Reefer

      Neon Reefer

      Yeah HD has it but it is in the back where they keep the light delection stuff not in the lighting department itself

  13. Any other ARC'ers still playing paintball these days?

      I'm totally down one of these weekends. Just got an awesome new custom pump I want to try out. Still have my electronic markers as well.

      We're going tomorrow, I got some gear for Christmas and going to try it out. Where do you usually go?

      Really depends. I'm way southwest so the dripping springs fields occationally, outlaw and extreme sometimes. I like Texas but their paint prices are borderline absurd. $95 per case for premium is pushing reality.

  14. 20" wide rims. Has nothing to do with anything but check out the rim specs on the new mustang: http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/trim/gtfastback/

    1. GrimReefer

      GrimReefer

      I think you have mistaken. Widest on gt is 9.5 rear. Tallest is 20". Couldn't pull up specs on cobra

    2. jestep

      jestep

      They have the rear ones listed as 19 x 19.5. 20" wide tires would be hilarious.

      Nice typo on their website. lol

  15. Maybe we could spread the rain out over a few weeks. We're at 11" in less than 24 hours.

    1. ckyuv

      ckyuv

      If we can get a few more days of this lake trav might go up a bit!

  16. Anyone have a WP40 I can borrow for a week or so? Mine just crapped out this morning and even after cleaning, I can't get it to spin. Need to order one, but need some flow in the tank in the meantime.

      I wish mine did... my rose decided to bleach :(

  18. By dumb luck, does anyone have a 3 or 4 kayak trailer they would be interested in lending out at the beginning of June?

  19. Just so everyone knows, hydrous sodium carbonate will cause chemical burns on your tongue.

      Pool of liquid between the sump and the ATO container. I unfortunately assumed it was water when I decided a taste test was the easiest method to figure out what was leaking. I instantly regret this decision.

  20. Does anyone carry 1/4 mur lock / john guest fittings locally. Specifically looking for a tee and a bulkhead.

    1. Sherita

      Sherita

      Home Depot will have the tee. Not sure about the bulkhead, never looked.

      HD, Lowes. Some of the LFS might have some too.

    3. victoly

      victoly

      grainger has em for a price. i think BRS is one of the few places that sells murlok. Check out liquifit fittings as well.

  21. Good friend of mine just made the olympic ski team. Go USA!

      Lol. Look up his other 1's.

  23. Finally watched Blackfish last night after noticing it's on netflix now. Nothing that I didn't already know but very good documentary. Some of the scenes with the mom and baby orcas are tough to watch.

      Impressed with all the musicians pulling out of Seaworld. It's too bad really, SW could become amazing if they'd just stop breeding orcas and provide existing ones with a large sanctuary.
