Yeah I really don't like or trust ozone...I bought the machine in my desperate attempt to rid pm without knowing how dangerous it really is. Don't think I'll use it here in my house ever again...I hope.

Sitting here with the TENS unit just jamming on my spine. I forgot how much this helps...I had loaned it out and got it back tonight...with dead corroding batteries in it! What are friends for?!
Which ozone you get I’ll buy it from you

I had one when I was like 18 it was a banger cost $500 I just moved and needed wheels. I could lift the front wheel up by shifting my body weight to the back of it and could hold it for ages lol so fun
Yeah we have two. Lx 150 vespa's their good for about 70 mph but pur along a 55 really nicely. Not much for stunt riding but I've taken some knee dragging corners on mine.

Mine was some Honda thing cant remember the brand but topped out at like 45 mph and wasn't allowed on freeways lol. I did make a kick as surf board holder dodgy in the wind lol and could take a mate and two boards down. I gave that thing death couldn't kill it, it nearly killed me though a few times lol

My dehumidifier filled up to max last night just before the light come on it was neat but never cooled below 19c/66f , it gathered almost 2ltr over a 12hrs period so I got some hosing and diverted the water so it's now running into an old 5ltr/gallon nutrient container.

The dehumidifier is installed it doubles as a heater its only 150w and I can maintain 48/52%
20/26c/77/78f over 24 hrs, its a bit cheaper and easier than heaters and humidistats, I've got my ventilation ticking over with the dehum running constant at light out, heat, humidity, oscillating fans x2 and ventilation is only 180w that is a accomplishments :-) I think, I just hope it stays that way, were going into autumn so I'm anticipating a bit tinkering.

I rigged the timer to feed 4x during the light cycle like a right tit I had the timer on random, it emptied my tank but luckily my trays can hold the tank volume, flood averted :roll:

I had a first last night...Just getting ready for bed and the power goes out...all of it! My girls are on the night schedule, and I have 8 in an aero setup, and they are somewhat young....the roots haven't made it to the reservoir yet. I checked and they said the power would be out til 5 am, so I drug out my Honda generator and a long cord and plugged in my chiller and pumps for the aero system, and went to bed...No lights, but at least they survived and I woke up at 4:30 am to power back on. Crisis diverted!

Hoping they get the fires out and power back on for everyone in CA. real soon...Now that has got to be some scary shit!!

I sincerely hope the fires are brought under control with minimal damage to life and property, it must be horrendous living in that area, what a terrible situation.

Personally i'd be fkd if the electric went out, within 15/20 seconds of the light going off the smell drops out of the tent vents, the neighbours would smell within the hour without ventilation.
In the past I've used 1 way vents made with with plastic sheet, when there's air pressure it lifts but when the fan goes off they hang down sealing the vent ;-)
But I don't require them now so it would be stinking and the lousy feckers have already reported me some years ago, a chap I grew up with... Wanker.

Went back by the wooden water pipe, just had to get a closer look. Just surreal.
Not leaking half as much today, less pressure.
That looks like something from a sci-fi movie going under the road. Pretty sure I ran back to the car from there.

Finished up with a stroll and a smoke at Snow Pond, played hookey from work for a while.

It looks a lot like an old wooden grain silo...like exactly, except it's horizontal instead of vertical. I helped take one down as a teenager, and we salvaged all the 5/4" tongue and groove lumber out of it, and re-used it as roof decking.

That looks like a great spot to play hookey!!

a section of the south end of the "Pacific Crest Trail", a hiking trail that stretches from border to border, Mexico to Canada, runs along the LA aqueduct. They hike right on top of it...

That pipeline puts me in mind of...

I ofter look at these engineering pieces and think of how clever humans are, I don't necessarily mean the bridge itself more along the lines of putting probes into space sling shoting around the planets sending back data from millions of miles away, satatalite communications, genetic engineering etc etc.

That's clever, I've seen a wooden road in the USA (on TV) but a wooden pipe takes a bit of a doing, do you have photos of it under pressure/leaking?

Does it have a name I can google?
