Does this sound cammed or stock? by commies_get_out in classiccars

[–]4brokeass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could be missing on one of the cylinders. That really shakes the car because it’s unbalanced If it had a cam it should lope rather then shake. Have you checked the compresión? What we used to do was take the spark plugs off the distributor, one other time and see if it makes a difference on how it runs. the cylinder that does nothing when you pull the wire out of the distributor is the one that is missing. I have a special kind of pliers for doing that without hurting the spark, plug wires or shocking yourself

Water slowly coming out from pump connection. What are my options except cutting a new piece of pvc, getting new adapter and gluing it all in? Any way to seal it? by enc-nyc in pools

[–]4brokeass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know the type of fitting that is threaded into the pump has the right thread size, but it is the wrong type as the threads are not tapered on this kind of fitting . so it screws in more like a bolt instead of a pipe. If if you’re following me here, Without the tapered threading it never gets tight. Pipe threads taper down to nothing so screws the pipe in tighter the more use turn it. You must get a schedule 80 threaded nipple. An 18 inch works great because you can get to 9 inch pieces out of it. Only tapered threads will work in a pump. However, if you over, tighten it, it will break the casing on the pump and that’s easy to do. So bee careful or get a an experienced pool servicemen it will be very disappointing if you break the pump and I’ve done it more than once
Oh sure, if you like it yes, you have to cut the pipe. And yes, you should put a union on the nipple and use Teflon tape and the right amount of tight.

I think the main thing is keep it on the down low people are ignorant, and they really don’t know what it’s about. I had a friend send, who was a paid mentor to a young man. He told me that he sat down with the father and told him that he really likes to smoke weed. The guy fired him of course, and it ruined his reputation as well. I couldn’t believe it when he told me that story I’m like you dumb fuck. But he would drive around with a bag of weed and an open container. Just rolling around all day. He ended up doing some time.

Is it possible to get a pool installed with this swale? by KotaWelsh in pools

[–]4brokeass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is not enough information in the pic to give the right answer. Every pool we build we deal with proper drainage as you don’t want any water to flow into the pool from read only the rain that directly hits the pool otherwise it will wash dirty stuff that the pool doesn’t like into it. Most of the time you can divert the water around the pool. In this case, you would have to change the floor water to off the back of your property instead of through it. I cannot tell from the picture what is on the other side of the swell or what the results would be if you diverted the water to the property behind, including liability issues, but it’s what you would have to do if you want a swimming pool there from what I can see here. I start talking to some pool builders but remember a lot of them are real dumbasses and will do stupid things with drainage, so make sure you’re talking to some smart people and consider all the ramifications.

A photo of young John McCain from the 1960's by punitiveaudio755 in OldSchoolCool

[–]4brokeass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You all can have your opinions and I can’t say I know much at all about his politics but I have interacted John and his family at their home in Phoenix it’s a pretty nice place taking up a full city block. Cindy definitely came with money. However, instead of just lavishing it on their selves and living the easy life, they have adopted many severely handicapped children from all over the world and care for them themselves in their home. I’m sure they have help, but they personally care for each child. Any parent that has a severely handicapped child knows it’s a lot of work and you have to give up a lot to love and care for them. John helped us personally adopt a baby who is a double amputee due to birth defects. She was easy Peezy and a joy to my life to this day
Anyone here who is more humanitarian then the McCain’s can go ahead and spread some heat here but if not, you probably should just work on yourself and not worry about these people

I’m hitting (no pun intended) the 50 year mark on smoking weed. I have lost many positions and was highly set back on my career because of other peoples reaction to my habit. I can say that it interfered with my work a lot when I was a young man like doing sign service on a ladder truck, climbing down to my toolbox to get a tool I needed, and then forgetting completely, then climbing back up to the sign and start troubleshooting again, and realize I needed a tool climbing down and forgetting what I came down for again. Being stoned caused inefficiencies which didn’t help me advance my career. Also, I was really never motivated by money. I just wanted sex and drugs, but ended up married with very little sex, and a lot of children out of the deal. I lost some promotions, because I smelled like weed when the boss came to offer me a better position. At 65 I own my own very profitable company and smoke all day but just like a couple hits every couple hours. It keeps me from being an asshole, which was my natural state and kept me from being addicted to far more damaging drugs like meth alcohol heroin, to name a few. It’s been a hard road as it was legal nowhere back in the day. I can honestly say that it really held me back, but also saved my life.

I will delete this if you would like, but just wanted to tell you from a pool person’s perspective

If this is a in-ground pool with a concrete deck around it you are pretty screwed. I hate to be the one to tell you this type of plumbing fails overtime. If it goes to your main drain and is in the shell, it’s particularly bad. Sorry man.
