snowmageddon day 2:
Logged twelve miles and sumpin' today on white ice, black ice, and shallow crunchy snow. 1,500 feet of climbing, some of which was pushing.
The similar looking hose in a nearby bathroom says 3/8" compression to 1/2" FIP, which in turn is a lazy way of saying female NPT, I think. Therefore at least in the hose-maker's lingo it's "compression."
Savannah is nice.Update from Florida. No snow but some seagulls that were white kind of like snow. After some days in old people paradise. Tomorrow the road trip starts up again going to Miami => Savannah => Knoxville => Charlottesville => Brooklyn.
"Sometimes NPT threads are referred to as MPT ('Male Pipe Thread'), MNPT, or NPT(M) for male (external) threads; and FPT ('Female Pipe Thread'), FNPT, or NPT(F) for female (internal) threads. An equivalent designation is MIP (Male iron pipe) and FIP (Female iron pipe)." from the intarwebz...The similar looking hose in a nearby bathroom says 3/8" compression to 1/2" FIP, which in turn is a lazy way of saying female NPT, I think.

There are almost as many pipe/fitting standards as bottom bracket/hub width/seatpost/headset standards.
I-70 is all sorts of messed up now:
This near Glenwood Canyon.

This pretty much sums it yp
Skied again today. Vendor event at Vail. Rented van, lift ticket, lunch... good times. I think this unemployment agrees with me.
Now will you Canadians send us your snow? We could use a freshen-up.

Please stop posting to the GTM until you are properly frustrated by your new job, like the rest of us.
This seems like a reasonable request. I shall take it under advisement.Please stop posting to the GTM until you are properly frustrated by your new job, like the rest of us.
Let me know when you are hiring. I could be a very good bong shed attendant.

The bong shed has a flat roof with a scupper drain. The pipe for the drain goes through the roof and turns to the outside of the building through the bong shed and then it turns outside and goes into the storm sewer. It is made from cast iron. It has frozen solid. I recently put insulation and vapor barrier in the bong shed. So instead of the ice and snow melting it is just staying up there. 6 to 8 inches of Ice and now about 20 inches of snow with nowhere to go. My brother says it is seriously loaded and I shouldn't even attempt to go on the roof for snow removal. Its to late. This sucks...
RIP bong shed
I'm more of a smack expert but know a little about bongs, wouldn't utilizing the bong shed to maximum capacity release heat thus melting the drain pipe and allowing snow on the roof to melt and drain away at an appropriately mellow rate?
Yeah my brother just Rick Jamesed my leather coach with his wet boots. He has the remote control and we are watching Big bang theory instead of Hockey. Eating my snacks now...

Shortcut: set bong shed on fire, the pipe should thaw then.
I would like to avoid prison. Have you ever heard of a Arson Attorney? Neither have I.
Started raining after work, wind is blowing at 30+ Decided it was better to work out inside, Dogs are bummed at no long walk though. Did 30 minutes of Hill work on the elliptical ( has a ramp angle that adjusts as you work out) 3 minutes of up three min of flat at a time. Then I hit the weights for another 30 minutes. Got a good burn going
You own the shed don't you? I don't see why you couldn't burn it to the ground if that was your will. Provided you don't proceed to take the rest of the neighborhood down with it of course.
I'll ask my brother, this is kind of his field of expertise.
Local FD may frown upon this. Also do not file an insurance claim.
Insurance... Never thought of that. One day without the Bong shed has illustrated to my neighbors why emergency repairs are necessary.
We may be in luck. The snow pile has turned into a Glacier and is coming off the back overriding the gutter...
