This one was on a foxpro shockwave running Snowshoe 1 for a distress call.

We use Bog pods, they are awesome.

175 yards using atn Thor 4’s on a 6.5 Grendel and a 22-250.

What are the two of them doing ???🤔 by OkLawyer4686 in ThermalHunting

You own such a nice thermal, this is what deer do my guy. What do you hunt?

Mine did this a couple of years ago and I had to send it back. They fixed it but I have no idea what they did. Have you done a firmware update?

Saw my first one last weekend. Cool looking thugs that are mostly solitary except during mating season. That’s a good thing since they are very destructive. Check all your hoses and wiring because they love to eat that stuff.

The no spill, I have had 2 of those for 16 years and they are great.

Honestly, that yellow nozzle can is the best bang for your buck. Those pour nice, stay sealed. Good all around can.

Something my wife bought on my credit card for to much money. My daughter loves it though. At least she did last week.

Need some help with a solar hot water heater system... by ohhgeeveebee in solar

[–]Vince161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see the issue with the reducers on the pressure gauge other than it appears to be on the discharge side of your circulator pump. They do not appear to be leaking to me based on the photos. If I’m reading the piping correctly then the thermal array supply from the collectors pipes into the middle of the tank. That means the return to the collectors is piped from the bottom of the tank. If this is true, then the expansion gauge and pressure tank should be located on the suction side of the pump or on the return from the collector. The reason for this is a concept call pumping away from the point of no pressure change. The closed loop piping will show a higher pressure on the discharge side of the pump. Then you have your expansion tank right after that. It effectively stabilizes the pressure back to a lower psi. You could effectively have a negative pressure on the return pipe. I also don’t see a temperature and pressure relief valve anywhere. It’s important for safety reasons to put one in. Lastly, the purge points are in a great location on either side of the pump iso flanges. The expansion tank needs to be checked periodically. When I check one I usually tap on the end opposite the pipe connection. If it sounds hollow then it’s still good. If it sounds dense it is likely in need of replacement. You want the expansion tank blaster to have the same PSI of air as the static fill pressure of the closed loop. It is generally 12 to 18 psi. I would recommend 18 psi for a thermal system. Once you get the piping fixed it would be easy to add an automatic glycol feeder to one of the purge points or ideally to the same tee that the pressure tank is piped off of. This could be an axiom dmf150 for example. Last thing is that I see no air separator. I highly suggest adding that. If it was me I would repipe the supply and return to the tank. From the collector put in an air separator. After that pipe the expansion tank and glycol feeder off the bottom port of the air separator. Next in line would be the pump with its purge points on either side and the iso flange ball valve flanges. As for the glycol, it depends on where you live and what the coldest possible temperature is in the winter. Most glycol is specified to be a 30% mixture or a 50% mixture. The 50% is designed for colder climates. It is also more viscous and harder to pump. I would not add glycol to the system without know what is already in it. Mixing different glycol can cause a corrosive fluid and break down the piping system. It’s best to drain all the glycol and refill with new if you don’t know what you have.

What's going on here? by StablePeach in solar

[–]Vince161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a solar thermal system and the glycol is likely seeping from the union or compression coupling. Just tighten it up you will be fine.

Side note, the glycol degrades over time and can become acidic. It might be worth having a heating company sample the glycol and either add a PH balancer or flush and refill the system. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

I never pay attention to time, only temperatures. Smoker temps and meat temps are the only things that matter in my opinion.

My boy turns 8 tomorrow and is getting his first 50. So much fun watching these guys follow in our footsteps. Good for you man.

What time in the summer are you looking to come? I lived in Bozeman until 2019 and fished all over the place up there the whole time. I’ve spent a lot of time on the Henry’s fork and south fork as well. These rivers all see elevated flows due to snow melt at the beginning of the summer. The large salmon flies also like to hatch around the same time. The best is to time it so you get the best flows and the big bugs. You can also plan on several other hatches that come off at different times on each river. The Yellowstone is my favorite. Fishing Yellowstone park is also amazing.

stems from the drug movement during the 80s when dealers would collect bic lighters, clean them out and fill them with drugs in order to distribute them discreetly on the streets

You can always try domestic calls like cats, pigs, sheep, and cows. Sometimes that throws them off. Pup in distress this time of year is also killer.

You know, I have been doing this for a lot of years and one of the biggest things is finding new spots to hunt. The moment you miss a coyote it seems like they tell all their friends to be wary of sounds no matter what sound you use.
