    I just replaced my other TiCon one in the current exhaust... I bought Vibrant this time around. I think they were required to flex a little too much in the current exhaust, just the static alignment of pipes I did was terrible.

    Similar to last week in that anyone sniping is slow as hell, and the only real troopers are those rushing as needed (in squads).

    Running medic with a squad is both rewarding and very efficient for Rush/King of the Hill/etc.

    Current thinking is I may have a contaminated or mislabeled bottle of argon, I had only been making quick tacks with the bottle while laying out my exhaust, threw a quick been on mild last night and it was sparking!! and no amount of post flow would prevent my tungsten from oxidizing... called a local shop I know who uses the same supplier and asked him to drop a bead on aluminum and he has the same birdshit and a bottle with a similar fill date.

    Interesting. Guy I was helping last winter his co2 for his old mig machine was freezing up constantly. Finally called the supplier they asked if the bottle had a red mark on it. It did. Guess those are drop tube bottles used for extracting liquid co2.

    For some reason until this I thought gas companies didn’t screw up.

    I thought they deprecated it years ago and told customers to use broad band. I guess there may have been some rural TelCo users with analog lines. I remember getting a modem to use CheckFree back in 1993 when we lived in Florida.

    They throw out Michelob Ultra and Busch light cans all over. One area is so bad that I stopped going up there and even talking about it. I think some people enjoy swimming and camping in trash.

    I remember the commercial where music from the Jetsons was playing while people were on an airplane opening AOL. That was about as far from reality as anything could get.
