    Coffee is about as strong as it gets here. I can't even remember my last beer let alone that stuff....

    Sorry for the bad pic, but it got dark out before it finished. Just a little guy abut 2.5lbs smoked with some cherry wood at 250F until it reached an internal temp of 195F about 8.5 hours on the smoker. I wrapped it and need to rest it for a day before slicing.

    I work in the science field and my thrifty (cheap) boss had purchased a light weight mechanics cart from Harbor Freight. Well the drawer glides failed and they were going to throw it out, so I asked if I could take it.

    My son and daughter in-law are expecting their first child (our first grandchild), so I fixed the drawer bought a pad and made it in to a changing table. Plenty of room for diapers / wipes in the lower area and a drawer for potions, lotions and ointments.

    Some may say it's redneck, but I prefer utilitarian.

    Not particularly manly, judging by the ladies there, but applied for CC today.

    I didn't strangle my coworker when he was too stupid to poor piss out if a boot, if the instructions were written on the heel.

    I got to play amateur plumber. Pipe on the inlet side of the water heater started cracking at the joint. Those newfangled press on Shark Bite fittings are a Godsend! The pipes didn't quite line up straight, which probably led to the cracking. So I replaced it with a piece of PEX tubing that's somewhat flexible. All dry so far.

    Finally finished the rebuild on my 1/5 scale RC buggy. It has been in pieces for some time and I finally got to spend some time working on it.

    Good job. But, since you used PVC, next to the exhaust vent, of the water heater exhaust, you might want to insulate it. I dont know if that exhaust heat might effect it. You might research it, and possibly put some copper in its place. You can flex the copper tubing, if you need it to align.

    Thanks.

    PEX isn't the same as PVC. Higher heat tolerance, rated for 180°F. I wouldn't expect anything close to that.
