Island Of Misfits

[Bubba]

Yes the secret underground civilization deep in the gran canyon

Its a very interesting story about a well know explorer type at the time. He found an opening went in and eventually found all sorts of stuff with Egyptian markings and all sorts of things. Big news, huge support for exploration, then all shut down and went quiet, odd to say the least.

Like a dirty Submarine

The smell.

When nuclear submarines are at sea they mostly remain submerged with a sealed atmosphere. Part of the atmosphere control system functions are to remove carbon dioxide (CO2), since a build-up of carbon dioxide can become fatal. To remove the carbon dioxide submarines use a chemical called amine. When amine is cool it absorbs carbon dioxide and when hot will release it. So the amine is cycled through a machine referred to as a CO2 Scrubber, which will alternately heat and cool the carbon dioxide and pushes the gas into the ocean, keeping the atmosphere breathable.

This is a very effective system, with the downside being the amine imparts a rather “unique” smell into the atmosphere. Which ultimately permeates every part of the submarine interior including crew members clothing and even their skin.

In addition to the amine smell, submarine crews are exposed to cooking odors, hydraulic oil vapors, diesel exhaust that isn’t quite captured by the diesel exhaust system, inboard venting of the sanitary tanks, and the smell of a large number of closely confined people. The interiors become quite fragrant. Crew members become accustomed to it and after a while never notice it. But other people do.

When I was attached to a submarine I had reason to fly home for vacation wearing my civilian clothes. I was sitting in my plane seat next to an older lady, chatting a bit, and suddenly she asked me “are you on submarines?” Surprised, I asked “yes, how did you know?” She replied “my husband was on submarines. I’ll never forget the smell.”

I can believe it. That smell doesn’t go away and becomes a part of ones own scent that lives on the boat. I worked the co2 scrubbers many times. The newer class subs are much nicer smelling when they arrive.

Light in my veg room was out this morning when I opened the tent.....hmmm. Rebooted and it fired right up. Must have had a power surge last night.

I never lived in the boats just worked on them. Road them a few times but never long enough to need a shower. But yes especially the older boats showers and flushing we’re both a unique animal.

Especially the flush sequence prevent backflow.

I do remember the one in my car ate tapes like they were Mcdonalds fries

The one in my 67 Bird did too.

speaking of timers, my off stop on the intermatic time clock was loose and let my big tent on 20/4...it veged for 5 weeks until I realized what was going on...7' plus now that the lights are 12/12 and still stretching...looks like I'm gonna have a lot of folding the tops over...horizontal colas yield big time...

All I use are intermatic timeclocks for over 40 years in pool wiring. That just happened to me a month ago and now i tighten them then snug them with sidecutters

 

[boo]

yup, klien sidecutters are what I used...they work for many things as well as a last resort weapon...

I wish I had the money I spent on side cutters blown up or lost.
I am a screwdriver man with defense and a 18 inch piece of 500 mcm copper wire for persuasion

I've noticed that on "horizontal colas" and it does seem they would get more light that way, rather than straight up and down. Plus light would be lower, so closer to smaller nugs a little further away. May just try that, even if I have space?

Dummy here, what is it you are tightening, and also I have never heard of side cutters?
Yup, that dumb here...

[pute]

what kinda timer do you have?

Don't have it on a timer my veg room runs 24hrs a day. I have Fox Farm timers on my fans and flower room. That would have been the first thing I would have checked.

 

[pute]

Finished working on the boat for the day. New trailer lights installed. The ***** I bought the boat from had regular lights not marine and they weren't water proof. I sure am getting nickle and dimed to death. New battery and trailer lights this week. Engine is still in the shop waiting for parts.

Two happiest days of my life....the day I bought it and the day I sell it. Just like my motor homes.....I know the drill.

 

[Bubba]

You will enjoy it once all worked out. when you go to sell, that's a great story! Buyer will be glad they dont have to figure all that out, you already did. Great selling point!
