I'll try my damnedest to be there. It'll be just like old times, getting wet and wild with my bros, shooting our loads all day long

I will very likely be attending with my cohorts from New England, zx532, kidame tomanaka and uranium234.

We are in the process of creating a clan name for ourselves so for now,

TBA representing!

I've noticed that a lot of the torque in 1/2" ball valves (or any others) is from friction. Naturally, the larger the valve, the more surface area the ball has and the more friction that is created when turning it. I was able to make my valve pretty easy to turn just by using it frequently and lubricating the ball infrequently.

Great, you saved us a whole google search.

Having experience/pictures regarding what you are talking about would make this a lot more useful. How do I *know* if paint stripping chemicals can eat away at plastic if you don't know what you're talking about? What kind of equipment do I need for sandblasting? What does the end product of this process look like? (Rhetorical)

The information here is useful but not particularly needed or accessible (again with the google thing...) so I advise you to improve this thread and future ones so that you don't get chosen to attend the next tribal council. You may not be so lucky next time.

You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner fucking year at the old Bender house. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny!"

Props for quoting the breakfast club.

I got an AT3K, a TTG and a nitefinder through secret santa exchanges, as well as roughly $100 cash, some giftcards and lots of chocolate from the family.
