Seems like I remember some vacuum device on Amazon. Is there a recommended unit, or features to look for?

Bubba

You need a vacuum purge chamber (or oven) with pump and heat mat and PID controls. Here are some examples on Amazon.

Wondering: when distilling, pulling a vacuum lowers the temp that thing in the pot come to a boil. I assume it would also lower the point at which terpenes cook off?

I am after full spectrum with qwet, maybe that is one compromise in the method? I don't know.

This is what has led me to the Dabpress

Bubba

Cooking off ethanol takes more heat than butane, so I typically use 115F to 125F to purge it off under 10,000 microns or about -29.5" Hg vacuum.

I suggest heating it up to whatever the melt-point is and then start pulling a vacuum.

When it begins to boil too violently, hold at that vacuum level until it calms down and then continue to pump it down until it mostly stops bubbling at -29.5" Hg, and then back fill and flip the patty. Repeat the exercise until large bubbles are gone and only small fizzy CO2 bubbles are present.

Backfill and let cool.

WOW! There has gotta be a story for you in that picture -- Where did that pic come from? Becuz it looks like a spatha.

Whatever animal it was that got stabbed... died. There is no repair growth.

Whoever did the stabbing that caused the death of the animal... died. No attempt was made to remove the very valuable weapon from the animal.

It'd be a great game if you knew what the animal was. I've seen a dead camel, and the bones had that funny shape. So that'd be my guess.

OK, I went and had another baggie. My writer instink pickled in... What I posited out there in the garage might define how the event happened.

Rome's sojers had spathas. Parthians had camels. The origin of the term, "Parthian Shot"<-- Meaning to mimic the tactic of the Parthians:

Somebody left the bag of idiots open when Rome and the Parthians got rowdy. The terrain was sparse vegetation to zerio vegetation. North Africa. The Romans were on foot. NO lasting defense against continual arrow-rain.

The Parthians would have been smeared in any one-on-one battle. So they din'.

They would come after the Romans on camels, shoot arrows into them until the Roman trops came running for them. Then, they would all fire another shot, and outrun the Romans on their camels.

So now we come to one really ticked off Roman sojer. He nails the Parthian's camel in the rear left leg. The Roman is dispatched immediately. The camel is put down by his rider, and he rides off on one of the spares.

And everything stays there in the desert until now. [/Unca Time Machine]

Or it could be an aquatic animal bone. Jeez.

It comes with this story, d'ysee -- set in Ireland...

I got the bush hog, put on the tractor and went after the picnic table. It came out a lot easier than I had anticipated and I believe there’s still enough life left in the wood where I can use it. I don’t know what possessed me, but I started clearing the land on the west side of my house for the first time since 1999… if you look closely on the first picture, you can see the table underneath the little palm tree. The second picture shows the path that I had to cut out to pull the table out. The third picture is the table itself.

It’s got good bones but I wouldn’t let any big girls sit on that bench.

I’m going to be using this table as my shooting bench for my gun range. I’m going to have to replace the one seat because it is questionable but I’m just going to throw a tarp over the top which is plenty strong enough to support the guns and other gear that I’ll have… I dug out my A.R. 15 in a .22 caliber version, and I’m looking forward to spraying a stream of lead into the mound. I can drop a 30 round mag in a matter of seconds… I plan on building a small bench, 200 yards away, so I can site in some of the more potent weapons… it’s gonna be pretty loud around here in the near future.

Number one rule: Never put two fat girls on the same end of the picnic table unless you want a tossed salad.
