    I nuked a bat on the way home tonight. Felt bad, guy was chasing a big ass moth, he swooped down and flew right into my passenger side head light. Heard him hit. No damage or blood luckily.

    We have multiple bat bridges in town, it’s quite a site to see all of them emerging at once…… what’s even cooler is watching a hawk take out 2-3 of them in one sitting!!!

    Yep. I've done it a few times. Like a turtle that is stuck on its back. Not fun but doable. I realized it will be much easier using a floor jack and a piece of wood to support it. I have to drill holes in the cross member for this one.

    And I thought we were cool when my partner and I did this 4" last week...:rofl:
    I may have gotten a bit wild with the primer... allegedly.
    6" chilled? What's it feeding?
    I love stainless hardware... esp when I'm NOT buying it!

    Maybe it wasn't the price. It was the pita I saw a few people say it was to replace them. I have enough on my plate as is.

    It's not a pita at all... Probably the easiest mod on your plate actually.

    They look bigger than 33's. Must be an optical illusion because I'm not used to seeing skinny tires.

    I just used my knees, my shoes, and my hands for the initial install... What a PITA. Since I've had to remove and reinstall em a few times, I've started using a jack and a milk crate.

    What are the cylinders between the green valves? What's the tall thing to the right? Quick connect?

    Yes quick connect, it's there for winterizing the system/ blow all water out with air.

    Those are the check valves on the backflow preventer
