What did you accomplish today?

Aqueous Film Forming Foam
Its a surfactant, there are different types of foam for firefighting, I think the one gwn is referencing is purple k, and I think its the same one in the town of fountain's (CO) drinking water. Class A and B foams are more like dish detergent but I will leave chemical composition to cb.

It is also important to wash the hoses, hand tools, scbas, radios/coms, basically everything in, on tand including he truck.

It wasn't purple k - that's a powder that is very handy on energized electrical circuits.
Our AFFF came in blue or green 5 gallon jugs and we had a hose connection that you dropped into the liquid that metered it into the flow of water (think eductor on a very small scale) from the nozzle - used exclusively on class Bravo fires.
 
I intended to drive to a town south of here today. Usually it’s a super low-stress one-hour mosey. Today I spent 75 minutes doing less than half a mile north of Mojave. The freeway into Tehachapi was a solid bar of motionless semis lightly sprinkled with cars.

Guess who is staying home, eating Christmas leftovers and binge-watching House on Prime.

I bet you could make some $$$ off those if you produced enough of them. Copyright them though...

This design is problematic, I underestimated how much force a growing plant generates and as you get closer to the pole less force is required to pop the clips. I’m going to have to add tape reinforcement.

Might want to make them hooked shaped next time so they can't pull away from the bar.

Next grow I was thinking of making it a cylindrical collar and adding a slot so the knotted line could be easily slid in and out. It would also have to somehow include a wedge to stop it from sliding on the pole.

I was thinking they have the velcro with glue on the back that could hold them on there, if it sticks to the plastic.

I like 420God’s idea. Still clippable but the force from the line no longer induces an unclip. Heed the word of 420God, young pilgrim.

Great idea to make sure the line can easily slide in and out of your slot, and sliding on the pole may not be such a bad thing ;)

Turn your clips so the opening is on the bottom
