Two benches in place here. I took out the middle bottom shelf, wanted the height for the lowest bottom shelf. I paid $20 ea 
You can stand on em and maybe even put a small car like a yugo or old school civic on em 
Who you kidding? It was a blast, and more people should do it! Just the stories they share, while crawling thru the woods, I wouldn’t call it work, thats for sure. I’m not sure who has more fun, the vets, or us! It was my pleasure for sure

Man, was it ever delicious! I’ll be doing that again!
Nothing like planning ahead, brother @Floyd! Glad I could help! 
The thing is a right PIA to clean, though. I don’t have a dishwasher. I’ve always preferred washing dishes by hand. But, my back is telling me it hates me washing dishes by hand!
Bon Appétit, my friend! ,

That’s a heckuva setup you have there, @Nagel420!
Sweet benches, brother! Equally impressive filament racks!
Nice! Thanks for the peek, friend!
And, yes…great bunch to be around!

The filament racks are another awesome reuse / recycle… They are old school VHS tape racks!! You remember the wooden racks with the dowels that were popular in the 90s. CD racks arent big enough… I have snatched each of them from the curb!!!

Ah…that’s where I remember them from!
I Instantly thought of film reel racks, or tire racks, even though I knew they were both larger racks than what’s in the picture - close but no stogie!
Very nice setup, man! .

This is going to work a treat,…
…I ‘think’
This…
…will work great, too - once I figure out how to trim the circumference of the cap down. I was able to push the handlebar plug in past where I thought I would have to cut down leaving only the bit that extends exterior of the handlebars.
I don’t have a operable disc sander (I don’t have discs, actually), I don’t have a belt sander at all. I’m going to try and snip the excess off. It’s not going to be pretty but they’ll be inside the Cloning Machine II manifold and shouldn’t matter. I’ll probably ‘try’ to silicone them in place as well.
Onward and upward!
Make it a great night! ,

I got carried away, in the zone! I know I only need 3 plugs. I cut all 4! 
It took me going through 5 tools to find one that worked best. A sharp 1 inch woodworking chisel against a wood block for the win! Primitive Pete would be proud!
I did silicone the plugs in place. I let the silicone dry for 1 hour, they recommend 1/2 hour.
I have the legs in place and it looks to be working well, as far as trimming the plugs and siliconing them in place and then getting the legs to seat proper in the corner fitting. I wasn’t sure they would seat because of the ledge on the inside of all PVC fittings for the pipe to rest on letting installer know the pipe is fully seated. It doesn’t seem to conflicting with that ledge.
It’s really weird, I got these 2 pictures to transfer but NOT the 2 taken after them to load…weird. 1 one them was taken with the 2 pictures above, taken at the exact same time!
I thought I found a way to trick the Your Phone app the other day. I couldn’t get the pictures to transfer. I deleted a bunch of pictures I didn’t need and just like that those same picture became available.
I thought I had it tricked by getting the app to do some work (and connect) here >>>, while actually doing work over <<< there!
It seemed to work great but it turns out that didn’t last beyond that session 
You’ll just have to trust me that what I said is what I did. Who needs photographic evidence?!?!
Pictorial projects are just so blasé!
Not sure what I’ll do next…probably set up Cloning Machine II in Option 2, including the lights and filling the reservoir (maybe) and move that A/C farther to the side, I ‘may’ take it out of the drip pan I put under it. The drip pan is much larger than it needs to be, but it did do its job!
I hope you’re all making it a great night! .

Okay, the images that wouldn’t load earlier no matter what I did are finally available 
I haven’t gotten much done after that. I’ve been wrestling with my body’s desire to take a nap since I got up (yesterday now). I feel exhausted.
But, I did want to test Cloning Machine II one more time before I haul it to the loft and install it in the reservoir.
Just trying to show the arcing spray. It is difficult to really see it on camera. You can see the accumulation of water on the sides of the test facility. It’s working great!
The only thing I’m not satisfied with and the only thing I would even consider changing at this point is the 360 spray nozzles. They’re working great but I think they can be improved upon.
You’ll note the new Vivosum pump sharing the space with the original Vivosun pump in the test facility (bathtub ).
I had to test it to make sure it still works. I knocked off the Festool-ish Multi-Function Slab when I swept Cloning Machine II off to take it to the test facility! 
It works! I thought for sure it would be damaged as I watched it land directly on the corner with the fitting in it 
Btw, I really like these Vivosun pumps. The intake is on the bottom. No matter how low the level of the liquid it is pumping, it will pull if off the bottom at its lowest point.
I ‘may’ substitute this one over the Pro Pump 275 to empty the large reservoir. I ‘might’ contemplate purchasing another one for that express purpose! I always had to use the hose attached to the Pro Pump 275 to point it into the corner of the barrel as I’m tipping the barrel on its edge and babysit it there to get the last of the nutrients.
I’m planning an early to bed ---- and late to rise (with any luck! )
Good morning!
Make it a great day, folks!
Gonna break my Cannabis fast in the hopes I can get that full night of rest my body is telling me I need!
So…Smoke 
'em or 
'em if you got’em!

A good option there is Pool Cover pumps. There are “blue metal” ones available (sorry, dont have a manufacturer) that last forever. We used them when cleaning and draining koi ponds, They are common enough that “Blue metal pool cover pump” will likely give you the same one I had. Never was a fan of plastic pumps…

Thank you for the information but a DuckDuckGo search does not return any pool cover pump with blue metal case.
It does return blue pool cover pumps but none that have a metal case.
I do thank you, sir!

Feeling well rested, thank you!
I didn’t expect to see this…
’
…that bulkhead fitting had a come-apart!
I suspect I just pulled the fitting off the drip pan when I attempted to lift and move the A/C unit.
It’s not a light machine…especially trying to lift the machine when I’m bent over at my waist and that weight is cantilevered out from my body. I caught a corner of the A/C unit on the drip pan.
I haven’t investigated it beyond the above. But, I’m seeing some rust deposits in the pan. I’ll have to put blocks under the A/C wherever I use it, the evidence indicates.
I did relocate Cloning Machine II to Option 2.
Still have to tighten the clamp on the pump (probably not really necessary as I don’t believe the pressure it produces is enough to escaped from the hose adapter on the pump).
I still have to hang the lights where they need to be.
I forgot to bring anything to tighten that clamp with me, not that I could have carried more than the manifold and pump.
It feels a little warm up there, it must be from the lights.
So, it looks like I should buy another…
…to monitor environmental conditions up there!
As of this moment I’m not sure how many remote “sensors” my AcuRite 5-in-1 Weather Station will handle.
Also, I took the AcuRite remote sensor I had up there in the Bloom Room down and I don’t remember where I put it!
I also took the light socket, “Flower” timer and wall mounted oscillating fan down just now.
I hope I don’t lose them!
I’m going to fill the reservoir up and rehang (reuse what is up there already. I had torn some of it down when I was still in the ‘tear it all down and rebuild’ frame of mind 
) some Poly Shield up there to sort of enclose the space and prevent light from escaping the space while allowing easy access for my bent over self! I don’t have any neighbors within an eye-shot of the 1924 Schoolhouse, but it’s just the right step to take regardless.
Make it a great night, folks!
Oh, this came in earlier today - FINALLY! [Dr.] is my inclusion, editorial inclusion
"From [Dr.] Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxx on February 11, 2022 at 12:37 pm
I reviewed the drug screen and there was no concerning findings. I sent a prescription for Percocet 5 mg, 30 tablets. Have a great weekend".
Good thing I didn’t need any in the interim! Oh, wait…I did! 
I have some in reserve BUT, that’s not the point!

With a relatively brief review, I can’t find how many remote sensors my 5-in-1 Weather Station can handle.
The only thing I found is this…
…it is depicting 1 more remote sensor than I currently have.
I just bought another one…
…and a resupply of pH Down. I don’t need it just now, but I will eventually. I went through quite a bit of it last time.
But, with my new method of dosing it, with A LOT less waste, I believe I have that under control now!
Now, up to the loft…

I wasn’t sure when I would next see the nephew that was getting all my timepieces.
I had to get his number from his Mom…I don’t see him as regularly as the others. Typically only on familial occasions.
His responses follow…
I’m not a watch guy and while I think it’s cool and it’d be cool you’d leave me something, I wouldn’t be bummed if you had other ideas for it honestly.
My response to the above…
Wait…I thought you collected watches. You don’t?
His response…
That’s awesome and I would take them. I used to back in the day…but I haven’t in awhile since I stopped caring as much about material possessions. I gave up that and my shoe collection haha. I think [redacted] actually has my old watch box that he uses
He gave up his shoe collection!!! It must be serious!
It’s almost like he is exiting this mortal coil before I do!
The 1890 Seth Thomas Model 14 Size 6 Ladies Watch is yours, my friend.
I found some other facts about it in a deeper dive I did last night before I called it a night…
What we already know…
De-cluttering of the information…
What is new information.
This watch is the First Example of the Model 14 Ladies Pocket Watch in the First Model Year (1890) of Seth Thomas’ Pocket Watch Production…
Serial Number: 104810
De-cluttered…
Master Serial Number Record…
De-cluttered…
IF it were a book, it would be a Signed First Edition.
In Pocket Watches…??? I have no idea.
Thank you for showing interest in this piece of history!
I’m happy it’s going to someone that will cherish it as much as I have these long many years!

What!? No way man! I can’t take that from you. It is frickin awesome man, but it should stay in your family. I feel like I’d owe you my entire seed collection and my soul. 
I’ve gotta run now, but I’ll be back. You’re too kind. Maybe a bit crazy.

Deal!
My word is golden, brother. It is the one possession I have that is REALLY worth anything, imo!
???
Yes, maybe a little!
Think it over. Talk to your wife about it (not that she would ever be the recipient of it , you selfish prick! 
). IF you or SHE changes your mind let me know.

I’ve done the work.
I hit the “Oh, that’s where I left it” scene in this story!
I also found the missing AcuRite Remote Sensor. I probably hit my head on it in any one of the multiple times I ascended to the loft.
I verified the new Bulb Seal does compress against the existing Bulb Seal in Cloning Machine II (Chef’s Kiss 
).
I’m going to Clear Silicone the junctions, of the old and the new Bulb Seals. Something I should have done when I first resurrected Cloning Machine II. When it leaked the last time I used it I used Super Glue Gel on that one leaky corner. Probably not the best remedy! I didn’t have clear silicone here at that time.
I have decided what I’m going to do with that 4-way electrical outlet in the new under-loft Bloom Room, the one I had to take loose from the wall when I laid the Panda Film in.
You’ll have to take my word for it for reasons previously known!
Weird! 
I’ll also note, using the new Vivosun pump instead of the old Pro Pump 275 has nullified my need for those 3 additional couplers I made a special trip to ‘town’ for!

IF I had remembered where I put the original, I would not have needed the replacement!
It was in a catch-all I was using RIGHT NEXT to Cloning Machine II.
I put an unused 2 gallon bucket upside down over it when I moved things around. It was probably the only thing I didn’t move to see IF I had place it there!
It’s right where I should have placed it knowing I would need it in the near future!
Do you need any Pro Pump Model 275 female threaded end to female slip-fit end couplerS?
