Well got the 3x6 done and half way through the 3x3. Had to come in to watch Monday Night Football.
Gotta get this this done soon though. Will be in the Virgin Islands by the end of the week.

bvi or usvi? i spent about 6 months down there on st croix...buy liver insurance before you go,make sure to have a rum and ting...
once i get the new garden set up im for sure going to try and shut down for a couple months a year or at least arrange some longer time off so i can go somewhere,overnight trips are fun but i want to see what riding day after day is like...i was thinking of cheating and doing some credit card camping since theres a town about 60 odd miles away with a good place to eat right before you hit town so all i would need to carry would be some clothes and a bit of food...and then turn around and ride home in the morning...60 miles is still a pretty good single day push for me...
if only there was some way to check on hotel and motel room prices and availability and possibly make a reservation ahead of time and maybe see if theres someplace with say a sauna or whirlpool and pay per view porn ....i mean movies and you know,make a little vacation out of it...figure i should try all forms of cycle camping after all...any longer trip is going to have hotel nights if for no other reason than showers...and eating...and laundry and such....i think touring is as much about the stopping as the going...

Neither. I'll tell more once I'm back.
The rum will be a sure thing, the ting...? I don't know what that is and if the unc is recommending I'm just not sure.
its like wink soda if you remember that,its a citrus type of thing sort of like a grapefruit but different,its good over ice with rum...
I did a 60+ mile trip on the Cannondale about a decade ago along the American river. I was in great shape at the time from working out religiously and taking supplements.
I went as fast as I could, and did the whole round trip in a few minutes over 4 hours. (If I remember correctly). It was steep at times and I did get off and jogg it. On the way back I was doing about 50 down a hill right above lake Natomis, and almost lost it trying to make a corner.
The front wheel was doing a gyro effect thing, and I was unable to turn the handlebars. I threw the bike into a severe lean, but did not touch the ground. The corner was on a cliff over the lake, and was fenced with chain link. I barely made it. My heart was beating so fast. I could hardly breath. I could have hit that fence doing over 50

That stuff rocked.. would bring tears to your eyes at about half a bottle guzzle.. lol.. fun stuff.. never mixed booze with it tho.. yeha!
yeah,these days i dont really let the bike get over say 35 on downhills,i have wrecked going over 40 before and it aint no fun...i was lucky to limp away when i was young,no need to be wrecking now,im in no hurry...
let me tell you when its 90 and 98% humidity out rum and ting is the bomb....but thats true of any booze over ice in the islands...That stuff rocked.. would bring tears to your eyes at about half a bottle guzzle.. lol.. fun stuff.. never mixed booze with it tho.. yeha!
whats the1/4 line back in rez 4 to circulate rez ?
I'm guessing that's his vacuum break so his trays don't keep filling once the pump stops.
Morning gang. Got the two trays done last night. Horribly depressed after that Lions loss so I went back out to work for a couple hours. Just did loops with the 1/2" like dans showed. Will have to get the timers on them today and mix up a rez. Using a 21 gallon tote for runoff which should be overkill.

What third said! It breaks the siphon once the pump shuts off so it doesnt keep pullin out nutrients from the res....
i learned this the hard way
The poly loop works great. my other site has one with 11 blackholehydro drippers coming off of it and its one of the few things i dont worry about any longer
That game was a strange one, but gotta take my hat off to that Tucker kid
what a leg
enjoy the time off JW!
just what these guys said Bug ..... vaccum break / anti siphon hose .

JW .... don't let these trolls get ya down man !!! just a bunch of jealous asshats that would rather bitch & knock something they know nothing about than just set & wait for it to get to them . i'll never get why these kids have to act like they do . are they really that spoiled that whining gets them what they want ???
dont let em get you down jw,none of them have done anything half as cool as passing the glue on,anyone who knows anything about all this understands that,who really cares what those people think?
Finally a photo update! Got some pics from my buddy at our remote location with the E-Papillon! Nothing fancy, and in fact I tried to make it as simple as possible for him.
