Had a rubber brake hose once that was clogged brand new. Ended up, the plastic cap that is put in when they’re made somehow got shoved down inside the hose

So after many months of drying, shelled the rest of the popcorn from this years harvest. Netted roughly 3 pounds off of just two, 12 ft long rows.

I paid 3.99 for 50 seeds for this stuff after hunting for it for over 20 years. Only one or two companies sell it as it’s considered a “rare” seed due to non-gmo and hard to shell, most commercial processors are too large for these tiny seeds. But I’ve already nearly sold out of 6 ounce trial bags.

Spent the morning cleaning a new spot, aiming to upscale drastically. Got enough room for about 24 rows, 75-100 feet long.

I remember my father fixing a copper water pipe and trying to solder it when it would drip water down the pipe and was no way it would get hot enough to get the pipe soldered together. He would stuff bread up the pipe to hold back the dripping water long enough to get the solder to stick. Worked good and the bread would melt in the water.

Now that is interesting.

It works. A Mapp Gas torch really helps too. I told Andy that sweat soldering new pipes is a pleasure. Sweating old nasty stuff is a pain! Ohm and soldering copper to a brass valve is a chore. Ours didn't leak but it was pretty ugly. I don't like overheating the valve because it has a nylon socket inside. No wonder they leak when you shut them off. LOL
