This stuff right?
Not white plumbers pvc? That shit can turn to shrapnel
I did the "works" shop in the rapid air a bunch of years ago....that stuff is slick! It has an aluminum core. Need another drop?.......cut tube and splice in another. Less condensation also compared to black pipe. Better for the machines and also huge difference with the "air hog tools" like sanders.
I just used the standard white PVC pipe & fittings - it's held up for over 15 years so far as long as somebody dosen't run into it with the forklift.@GreatwhiteNorth

Haven't been over to this thread in weeks! I've been SO busy with gigs lately, whoda thunk it? Most of the gigs I had lined up are canceling or postponing, but I've been getting last minute gigs to fill in those canceled dates, plus I keep the deposit from the original booking. Cha-ching. I've been really busy with these online virtual performances - I've been hired by two senior communities to do a series of virtual summer concerts, and I'm LOVING it! I don't have to leave my house, I just set up my pc to Zoom with a great external mic. It's a pretty close shot of me that I set up, so they can see me play clearly, so last time I didn't even wear any shoes with my suit. So comfy. Next time I may even skip the pants. I'm getting $200 a pop twice a week just for these hour long concerts, and they're fun - I get to blab about myself and educate about each selection I'm performing. The rich white folks love it, and now I love them. Playing a bunch of street weddings and backyard parties, too. Weed biz is going great, I'm selling all that I'm growing. The cherry on this time is the pandemic unemployment insurance I've been receiving, $800 per week (until recently)! That lets me stack all of the weed and music money. I've been looking at houses, too. The prices are dropping already, and I anticipate the prices to drop a lot lower by the time this thing is over. I really feel for folks who are having a hard time through this, but they can take heart in the fact that at least I am thriving through this crisis...

I have often wondered where you live in relation to the "Shooting Zone"? Sorry I do not know a lot about Chicago,
just negative numbers reported on the news, not how the city is laid out?
Are the shootings Up town, Down town? East side, west side. Or just duck wherever you are?
In buying a house surely you will move someplace "Safe", how will that effect your commute to gigs? Will public transport get you to where you need?
Will you have to get a car?
It's good that things are looking up for you.

Thanks, Lokie. There are a lot of places in the city that are relatively safe, but crime has been rearing its head even in the best neighborhoods, so you never want your guard down completely. Take downtown for example, before a couple of years ago, shootings and muggings were unheard of on affluent Michigan Avenue (The Magnificent Mile). Nowadays, it is a fairly regular occurence, so there are tons of cops patrolling there now. I'm actually looking at houses in higher crime areas, the average house price in safer areas is about $350k +. I want to be able to get downtown to gigs easily, and there are a lot of deals just miles outside downtown in semi-shady areas. I'm looking to spend about $200k. Lol on a car, I've been driving regularly for the last 30 years, and haven't taken public transportation anywhere in the last decade. I refuse to, I'd rather pay $30 for parking. It's like Escape from New York on the CTA, fuck that shit. That's for young people. Thanks for the kudos...

My son made a big bowl of salsa the other day and there are red and yellow tomatoes in the fridge. I'll probably be lazy and make a big burrito with it and have salsa and chips.
