Haven’t used it yet been busy extracting- my tech who was trained up to do my extractions was found passed out face first on the floor of my lab after staying late to clean.

I freaked out cause i figured he like got co2 poisoning or something but as it turns out he is a closet alcoholic and has been recovering a bit of some ethanol here and there and he just decided to go for it…

So im back to that lovely lonely lab rat life.

God I hate these pandas so much.

What’s worse is that after that incident I figured it would be a good idea to finally finish installing the security cameras so I went to go and put the hard drive in the dvr and came to realize that it had one already, and it had been recording for two weeks since I turned connected it.

There was some pretty sad damning stuff on those tapes, dude was sneaking drinks CONSTANTLY

Don’t trust anybody folks.

What’s wrong with these high temp gl connectors from chemglass? They are made of PFA, which they say is good to 250C. It should be resistant to the heat transfer fluid as well, assuming it is an oil.
