NM you fizzled out I expect...terd

Well, put my fire out, damn leaves want to burn forever, my cloths smell like the grills flavor chips. Checked my air pressure in the tires, dropped my cheap digital air gauge, it's no longer functioning, back to using the Milton gauges. Can't seem to find a good digital air gauge that lasts more than a couple years. This one was a Husky digital, had it about 2 years.

Have to complete my shopping carts of parts for ole Thirsty ( that's her name) until I pass out on the key board. Wake up with keyboard face...goes away after my third cup of fuel in the morning, when I start getting squinty.

 

LOL.... what did I fizzle out on? I missed it somewhere. Are you sure leaves were the only thing you were burning?

Hey... Milton stuff is awesome. I switched all of my air stuff over to Milton high flow fittings about a year ago, and really like those a lot better.

 

I've been using Milton for 20 years. Yea all my air tools have been upgraded to coated steal HF fittings. Small stuff with brass HF. I don't use Milton couplers at the tool end anymore, those days are over lol. I use their big 1/2" G couplers on the different manifold set ups, since they are just a good heavy duty coupler w/99 CFM. I have two Milton safety coupler (push button), but don't use them much, just for small stuff, they don't put out much. All my HF 1/4" Milton couplers, never use anymore lol. They just don't last and don't have the safety purges. Prevost couplers flow as much as my big Miltons and you can beat them to death, alwaya work and us nitril seals. Prevost use to be very pricey with all their lines, but they've come down in price with their automotive HF couplers, plus they are quickest of them all, just purging tool pressure quickly before full release and did I mention they last!

I have a milton air line kit that I've used for ever. Love that thing, I can make a whip hose or on at any length professionally quick, I like quick when you need something quick lol. Keep the air as maintenance free as possible can be a chore with fittings in constant need of repair. I got that down to minimum at this point...I'll never be without a compressor, -so MANY uses.

 

I have Milton and TruFlate for my air stuff. I also have universal couplers, so I don't have to worry if I take my compressor and someone has other fittings.

All my inflators are Milton. All my tire gauges are TruFlate. I had a buddy who repped both lines, and I was the recipient of numerous freebies. He also had Binks painting equipment, so he gave me a red anodized siphon feed gun. 3M was all over my house as well as Permatex. He was also the Dorman, and KD/Lisle rep. I just gave a foot locker filled with old Dorman carded stuff to a guy with lots of old Ford trucks. Lots of older stuff, so it had to go.

Regrettably he passed away in 09. We grew up together from the age of 5. I miss that guy.

 

Here is a project I saw today and had to post for all you creative guys.

 

The wife said at least it wont rust!!

 

Maybe in the upper Midwest.

 

Well.... I am supposed to wake up to white stuff on the lawn. It's already starting to come down. Ugggh. Lots and lots of gusts of wind. I took Hoss to my daughters basketball game, and it was getting pushed all over the dang freeway. Six a.m. tomorrow could prove to be a fun commute.

 

Snow ? I'm not ready for it...yet!

So what kind of ice should I get for my intake ? Crushed, cubed, or primadonna squares ? I want a cold cold intake, before it gets drank, - like a intake on the rocks you could say....or Gotts on ice.

Yea, just caught that closed intake thread lol.

 

Damn. That means you guys will have more snow than us here in Anchorage. lol Hope you don't find a fender bender on your morning drive. We've got no snow, but we have some ice from frozen rain the other day. Really nasty. Cooler tonight, so not as slick. Drive safe.

JB...that other thread was going south quick. When Martian did the line out of the posts, it got me wondering what he meant when he said, "AK being AK and posting in the wrong place." Should I be offended? lol
