And the young man is very lucky he did not lose a finger or two the way he has it held there most of the time you pick a snapping turtle up by its tail that hey can reach halfway over its body or under it

That’s why I grab em from the bottom plastron I see people grab em by the tail but if the snapper is heavy n strong enough he can dislocate his spine if picking up by the tail

Tried to take out a brass nipple from the Toy's block where the oil pressure hose was connected and ended up flattening out the faces on it, I had even cut the hose to get a deep well on it, no joy. The ferrule was stuck in it also so I had to get it loose with an easy out. PLEASE put anti-seize on dissimilar metals when you install them. Got the ferrule out, so it isn't terminal. I need to get a T that will screw onto it so I can add an oil pressure switch for the fuel pump in parallel with the gauge. I didn't feel right selling it with a fuel pump that was always on when the ignition was, guess I could put in an emergency cutoff switch instead.

Tyler - I feel for you! I ripped my abductor my hamstring and glute from leg doing the splits skating a pool at 50. Whole leg turned black then blue then orange. They never even offered surgery. Took me a year to walk normally again and 3 years until I could push anything with it.

Speaking of pools - the ordeal continues. They finally came out and backfilled the plumbing then nothing. We are pouring the deck on Monday and told them they better get it pressure tested before then. They came out on Thursday and the project manager totally screwed it up so another crew came out yesterday and sealed it all up and then pressure tested it right away and blew out the joints they just glued. Re-glued it, waited and then filled it to 25 pounds. Recommended is 60 psi test and then 35 over night. This morning it is at ten pounds and nobody is answering. I am so screwed. Do I dig it up myself and try to find the leak? Do I cancel the concrete truck?

Any suggestions?

Freaking,
Mo

Easier, and cheaper to cancel the truck than pull up new concrete that was just installed.
