What did you accomplish today?

[too larry]

The coke can was pretty popular around here in the 70s . What makes it bad for you ? Solder maybe ??

As really big monkey 1 would say. Al, you minum. Turns out there is lots of aluminum in the brains of Alzheimer folks.

i still smoke out of soda and beer cans when hiking in places i worry about carry pipes.

 

[Novabudd]

No solder. It's primarily the polymer coating on inside of can, nasty combustion products

Oh ok so would the old cans from back 70-80s have had that shit in them ?

I scrape the paint off before using a can for smoking.

Yeah, the exact coating may have changed, but they've always been coated; otherwise you'd get electrolysis of the can metal with the contents. Not a good business model

Speaking of hiking. The wife saw on FB where there would be 3 crews working on the Florida Trail in my area this weekend. I saw the trucks from one of the crews when I passed the trailhead this morning coming to work, so I stopped to say thank you. Last weekend, or maybe the one before, I saw thru hikers having to reroute around that section. Good to see them working on it.

Soon I will walk over and spend the night. The river is still way high, but as long as i can make it to the campsite I'm good.

The rest of the country is always seeing pics from FL with alligators and pythons on the loose and associated mayhem. Any of that sort around you?

The joke on the FT is that the difference between a campsite and the rest of the trail is the sign.

Just cracked my first beer and headed to a crawfish boil!

I'm up north, so no pythons. If you get away from people, there are plenty of gators. My old next door neighbors from when we lived in town are in Homestead {he's full time NG}. They go out into the Glades to capture pythons. They have pictures on FB all the time of the big ones they catch.

Whatever worked, toilet paper roll with aluminum foil.

Pie plate and paper tube. I never tried the can but saw a few who did.
Ignorance of youth i guess

How do you do the inside? That's the problem area here.

Have someone else take the first hits.

 

[Novabudd]

Guys here ripped the cans in half but there was never any effort to clean the inside.

I lived in SFV for over a year, I think I inhaled plenty of LA smog that was full of bad stuff also.

No doubt we all have. I was raised waaaaaay back in the country. If a car happened to go by it was a big event. Every summer the DOT sent a spray truck out to spray roadside bushes. The chemical smell hung in the air for days. This was in the 60s so fuck knows what we were breathing in.
