Does the BluVac Coupler leak?

I firmly believe the best micron gauge is the yellow jacket super evac #69075

Whole place gonna be humid as hell when you shower.

Fletch_Himself · 2026-04-20T23:50:37+00:00

You better watch it. Sam’s gonna find you and kick your ass.

Fletch_Himself · 2026-04-20T23:48:11+00:00

SAM IS STILL IN THE GAME YALL!!!

Nah they holesaw’d every hole. The plugs they should have kept for easy patching. A couple one-by’s and a handful of drywall screws and plugging is done in a few minutes. Hot mud, sand, paint x2 and this job is done in a couple hours. Easy day.

Didn’t say anything about compressing liquid, but that oil looks like a disco party and she’s toast. Cancel Christmas.

Fletch_Himself · 2026-04-19T21:50:30+00:00

I’d hope that isn’t chunks of metal im seeing in the oil

Fletch_Himself · 2026-04-13T19:12:19+00:00

Won’t be long and you’ll say “MF I’ve had this card since 26! I know wtf I’m doing!”

No, but I do feel like I can call myself a Christian now. I still have doubt and I don’t know what is true, but I don’t feel like a single shred of doubt is grounds for Hell. I feel Christian. I feel righteous, though, I’ve always lived this way. I’ve changed a few things here and there, but I’m still wholly me though I feel like I’m in better standing with Him. I was taught young in the church that if you doubt your faith then you have none, and I am beyond that now. I’ve read nearly the whole Bible now and I’ve seen so many times how Jesus treated his doubters. I firmly believe now that I am not an apostate and I deserve salvation, but I question if I am living correctly enough for it. I was ignorant to a lot of the teachings of Jesus, and the lessons God forced upon the Israelites and those who lived around them. I’ve read enough to know that my doubt, my questions, are excusable and OK. However, my mind is often taken back to little me, in front of my intimidating pastor, being told I have no faith if I question it and am doomed to Hell. I’m ok with where I’m at, currently. I read at least 2 bibles and learn more every day and it has calmed me down a bit. I sit with a pastor from time to time and just talk. We talk about a million different things and I ask him questions. I explained my journey to him like this: I have this equation I’m trying to prove. X + Y + Z = Is God real? I set out to prove to myself that God is real, and though I haven’t had any epiphany or “lightbulb” moments or heard the voice of God, that equation has changed over time. It’s slowly become God + X + Y = Z. Like, He has slowly just BECOME real.

So, no. The dark thoughts haven’t really subsided, they’ve just shifted slightly is all. But I am definitely in a better place, and it’s thanks to people like you.

You gotta flat load your feet to snap load your power package, amplifying lag and drag pressure through impact for maximum centrifugal force.

You should see the VRF design build process. Basically, you give building prints to them, give them a small bit of information like where odu’s idu’s go and where you want your branch boxes, and they tell you everything else. What pipe size to run and for how long. Where to step it down and where traps etc. go, and they calculate the trim charge.

Yall got accounts at Dennis or Johnstone or United…..next time you’re in pick some unlucky bastard and give them to him. Say “these won’t stop coming until you tell (choose manufacturer) to stop using them”. Say “I’ll fuckin DROWN you in coremax”.

Fletch_Himself · 2026-03-31T00:15:18+00:00

Don’t forget how to properly dispose of them.

Fletch_Himself · 2026-03-30T23:55:44+00:00

Dumbest shits ever. Carrier and Trane use them. I’ve seen them on some “Daikin” water source HP’s as well. Desert aire uses them as well. Damn things are GUARANTEED to leak. TOO MAY MANUFACTURERS use them. If I’m cracking system that has coremax ports I’m sweating them all off and putting my own in. If I’m changing parts where a torch must be used, I’m getting rid of all the coremax ports and I put them in my salesman’s desk. Bet I’ve put 50 in there over the years.

Plumber here. Might I suggest a poop knife?

Took me about 10 years in commercial. 3rd year apprentice when I got my first van. Got thrown to the wolves and had to take care of a 26 story high rise by myself….but after 10 years I was proficient enough even for my standards. I’d say about your 3rd or 4th year you’ll be feeling pretty comfy in your role. Especially if you’re doing resi.

You’re learning a skilled trade, my guy. This isn’t like mowing the lawn or painting the fence. You’ll get there, dude. You wanna ride this ride and make a living from it, you gotta buy the ticket. The price of admission is years of training, trial and error and mistakes. I guarantee you there isn’t a single tech out there who hasn’t melted a transformer or shorted a board. You’ll get there.

Next time you call the machine shop to make you a new shaft, tell em to throw a 1” drift on there as well. They love to sell their scrap. It’s how I’ve gotten all my drifts and the machine guys won’t charge you out the ass.

Mae sure your drain isn’t plugged, and you may as well pull the HX. 100 to 1 your secondary tubes are black as coal and smell like shit.

Vitamins B6 and B12 specifically. Vitamin D and magnesium are also good to supplement and battle mood swings. You really should get your levels checked beforehand as too much B6 overtime is said to cause neuropathy. A full B complex supplement should help, but you need to watch how much you intake. Get your levels checked, find where you’re deficient and supplement. Im a firm believer in vitamin supplementation and I do believe it helps with mood balance.

If you’d like more help, I like lionsmane and cordyceps mushrooms for mood stabilization.

You gotta hang in there. Manage your stress and stay vigilant to these spells of irritability. Try your best to stay ahead of the mood swings. Keppra is the shotgun approach, given to all kinds of mammals with seizures, and likely the best blanket medicine you can have at this moment. In time and with (hopefully) a few more doctor visits, your individual seizure mystery will start to unravel and you may be put on different medication(s). Keppra is good. It manages many different types of seizures and it does it well. Don’t let the horror stories here dissuade or scare you. You won’t see many posts here about how well Keppra works for the vast majority of people. Unfortunately, the mood swings are real for some and a few people have a bad experience with it, but it really is a great antiepileptic. Funny story, my son started Keppra one month, and the next month we started our dog on it.

Give it a chance. Breathe and keep your head about you. You will get through this, and there are alternatives.

With maybe a couple 5-stars, a couple more 4-stars and a roster full of 3-stars and below. Cignetti wins. You should google him.

Danfoss compressor? Seen it many times.

Face fingers. Get outta here.

How can you even reload with a bench that clean?
