Haha just remembered another one. I was blasting at my old spot. Kinda warehouse/ skid row-ish area. Not a lot of homeless on my street but the occasional tweaker would dig through our dumpster. We’re running and we smell smoke and we’re searching all over the room like what the fuck could it be. Someone else runs into the room and says our dumpster, that’s literally on the other side of the wall of our solvent tank was completely on fire with 10 foot flames. We luckily got it put out quick (always have fire extinguishers on site). But another 5 minutes and that could have been real bad. We ended up finding the tweaker who did it, he was just going around lighting dumpsters on fire. Sooo we beat the shit out of him and said don’t ever let us see you on our street again
Yea 5 lbs of force from a metal clamp will fuck your face up
A soda will just get u wet…
You mean, like this? The last place I was at in az, they had a fire in the yard. An ac unit caught fire or something. They had just moved my tanks closer to the building, get this, so they were easier to get inside. When I had them further away from the building and away from anything mechanical. Was my fuckin day off and I started to get calls from people asking me if I was ok and what happened.
Hooolllyyy shit. That is gnarly
Super gnarly. I’m glad my actual “lab area” was on the complete opposite side of the building. I ran carbon filters all over the building for like two weeks to get the smoke smell to not be annoying
WAS THERE ANY DAMAGE TO THE BIOMASS??
I cope with stress and trauma with black humor… Like Lewis Black once so kindly pointed out is a good mechanism.
9 live cat dred skips one more splat
Now thats some comedic value aswell in there :)))
Not scare but stupidity…1L of non decarbed in the oven on 90C for 3h straigh…
Decide to take the thing out ant stirred it viciously.
Needles to say the bubles trapped oveflowed and made a slightly errupting volcano all over the table and floor and everything.
Place was squeaky clean and we picked it up refissolved and rand through filter again… And lost about 20-30% but half of the jar was empty when the errupt stopped…
It was hot oil nonetheless
Hmmm maybe I should make a slight statistic of what kind of storyes are we sharing…
Seeing less ethanol than bho stories to maybe devide by cathegory.
And then machine, human, unknown source of error?
Wanna someone weigh in how we should categorize maybe make a poll for fun/safety?
And to all contributing thank you.
I for one have learned much, and have started double checking everyhting more oftenly, cause of your experiences.
Stay safe pplz
Got some butane and nitrogen tanks filled, but got back and neglected to remove them from the trunk
The next day I went to grab something for someone…and left the tanks in the car(2 nitrogen and 2 butane).
Flipped the car, when the pigs came one of the valves that got ducked up in the wreck emptied and the pigs looked.
Needless to say, I got away but one nozzle was fucked and one of the solvent tanks was bent……
Damn. That ended about as well as possible!
It really did
I had a lot of something else with me…and the pigs asked me if those tanks were propane but I said “nope, butane”.
Yes it really landed so much better than it could have
Got stopped by cal trans at a mud slide once and he walked up to the suv and saw 3 120# tanks and 4 cmepol’s and stopped talking mid sentence when he saw them and just shook his head. Probably never seen a 120# tank riding shotgun with a seat belt on
im not comfy with bronze nuts. I dont even need stainless bolts. THose things arent used in high stress applications. For holding a triclamp grade 5 is fine to my hillbilly thinking/ More important is o replace the hardware, im on my first set of clamps bolts nuts for the most part. Like my covid mask= I wore the same one through that bs.
Did u at least wash it?
no its not n95 if you wash the germs off it. the straps failed and it stopped even fitting. I did have more than a few but they were all donated to me. If i was scared I have a painting mask. I use that one if my dog shits in the house because it has carbon and I cant smell it.
As opposed to cleaning up the dog shit?
It’s hard to pick up what hes putting down sometimes…by my notes I have down hes a hillbilly thinker with brass nuts whose lawyer just got promoted to judge and he has a dog he loves enough to feed better than he eats and he posted a marigold leaf on top of an old Reebok or something…so hes cool in my book. Luh you thumper.
Bruh you’re doing what the man is telling you. You don’t need to clean up that shit.
This is america and we use carbon filter masks if the dog shits.
If not living in fecal filth is doing what the man is telling me…consider me in line with the rest of the yuppies
