I GOT THEM!! shhwhew, that was close. It took the postal clerk 15 minutes to find them!!!!
Mike went with the print out of the trackin report the USPS provided for my 2 day Priority mail form El Segundo CA to here. He tried to say they still haven't arrived, but with the print out he was placed in a corner to scrounge through his dirty unorganized shit hole for them.
THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL! really excellent quality.

Im fuckin SLAmMED with work this week....I should have time next week to finally make the FIREBALL hash, that will be fun and im looking forward to it.
Have a wonderful DAY! stay high!!!

woohoo! You'll be giving frenchy a hash run for his money in no time. Posties are so not arsed I don't get it. Why bother getting a job if you couldn't give a f£%k about it or being good at it. Then complain you don't like it lol. Probably

Frenchy is my hashish hero. I try to follow his style as closely as possible and use all the same equipment. I even recently purchased the Cuvee strain, which was the closest I could get to the Pinot Noir clone only that he gets from his inner circle..
OMG IM SOOOO EXCITED!! AHH!!! I got a phone call for a job in SAN DIEGO CA!!!!! the manager was super cool, straight shooter...now one more phone interview...then hopefully they fly me out for a face to face interview.

Georges looks good. Thanks DST. The second interview went well. I had it stuck in a traffic jam on I-5 in Tacoma. She wanted to know if I would fly out. I moved forward in the interview process with a background check. Hoping to hear something more this coming week. :grin:

Frenchy told me I need a new exhaust pipe for my washing machine. I don't know where to get one. :?: the one I have has segregated accordion like folds trapping the trichomes on the exit out down the drain into the buckets.. I guess I will look around at Lowes for something. :cuss:

Mmmmn, I also have the same type of accordian drainage pipe.....but christ I am not the handiest when it comes to machines and electrics. I thought my washing machine was broken the other day when I plugged it in to do a hash run....only to figure out the following day that I had turned the power off to my greenhouse so the plug sockets in there were not actually on...what a dumb mofo, lol...

Good news on the interview. Keeping the good vibes flowing for that.

My Frenchy modification story:



I made several measurements and then cut away some extra plastic tubing until it was the proper length. Next I made a dry fitting test of the copper elbow and the plastic tubing.

It was going great until I reached the end of the threads and the collar of the copper hit the plastic tubing. The plastic tubing spun and popped right off of the drain port just like it did when the silicone was wet! Fuuuuuudge (not what I really said)!

OK – plan B. Plastic model cement. I will huff it until I come up with a plan – JK. I cleaned the drain port and the plastic tubing thoroughly with acetone and removed any silicone residue. Then I liberally applied the plastic cement to the hose and slipped it on the drain port, attached the clamp, and proceeded to wait. I gave it a good two hours of cure time and removed the clamp. The tubing was firmly adhered to the port!

Next I screwed on the copper elbow and the plastic tubing held firm :)





I reassembled the machine just to see how the elbow lined up with the drain tube hole in the side of the base. It was within tolerances but it was a little high – no you are – no you are – shut up! Where was I? Oh yeah – put the lid back on the tube of glue. I decided to make some changes so that the copper elbow would rest on the bottom of the base. This should add extra support to the drain tube and keep the plastic tube nicely stuck to the drain port.

Everything fit so now I could finish assembling the copper drain assembly. After several design revisions I decided to keep it simple and give myself the most options. By having the tube come out of the side of the base with another male threaded adapter I can hook up plastic tubing and just bend it up and down like the original design, or I can go all Cadillac and add a nice ball valve, or I can go Frenchy and just add an elbow and a cap.
Now it is time for me to glue the copper drain pipe assembly to the plastic tubing. I decided to go with the plastic cement again because it just smells so good……….safety break…….puff, puff, pass :)

Got everything ready and then tried to glue the wrong end to the plastic tubing! Take two. Cleaned away the glue residue and started over with the correct end of the pipe. Went together perfectly and the plastic tube didn’t budge one little bit.

Time to reassemble the base! The belt is a little difficult to get back on the motor pulley from this angle but luckily they created a removable panel on the base that makes it easy to access the belt. So I put the base on, being careful to align the pipe with the drain pipe opening. Everything is going smoothly – never a good sign. I remove the belt access panel and run the belt on to the motor pulley. This is when I notice something odd. The belt wasn't straight.

The tub pulley is higher than the motor pulley. Ugh! I need to take it apart again and adjust one of the pulleys. The tub pulley is not adjustable so that leaves the motor pulley. I loosen the set screw and adjust the pulley easily and reassemble the tub and base. I plug in the machine and turn it on to test everything. It runs but there is a terrible scraping noise. I can’t tell what is causing it so I unplug the machine and take it apart again.

The motor pulley has a larger perforated disk on the bottom to act as a fan. This larger disk is rubbing against the tub pulley.








I can fix this by lowering the motor pulley enough that they don’t touch. I go through the whole pulley adjustment procedure again and lower it until it barely clears. Start up the machine and it is still hitting – the pulleys wobble a little and hit when they both wobble together. Adjust the pulleys again and this time it is perfect. The belt is still not straight but it is much better than it was originally.








I screwed the belt panel and base back on and the modification and tune-up is finished!








Now I just need to finish trimming the last of the Mulanje and I can make some beach sand!



Cheers,
Mo

Continued:

The next day I took off the clamp and the hose stayed in place – yay! I started working on the next part of the drain hose – the copper tubing. I soldered a ½ inch male threaded adapter to a short piece of ¾ inch copper pipe and a ¾ inch copper elbow. When the copper elbow section had cooled enough to handle I washed it and prepared it for assembly with the plastic tubing.

I made several measurements and then cut away some extra plastic tubing until it was the proper length. Next I made a dry fitting test of the copper elbow and the plastic tubing.

It was going great until I reached the end of the threads and the collar of the copper hit the plastic tubing. The plastic tubing spun and popped right off of the drain port just like it did when the silicone was wet! Fuuuuuudge (not what I really said)!

lol i make mine in a 2 bins with a power drill and 30$ bags lmao its not full melt obviously but i haven't time to be doing 6 different micron bags of trim n ice. the end product is my kind of hash. not face melting like you guys are doing. this blue pit bubble stuff DST has is great but i go ott real easy with it. i like to gradually up my high not get smashed in 2 seconds and feel jittery.

good luck with the job Doc sounds like they're keen for you to have it!

Ffs. Not sure I'll be doing all of that lol. And Don. The Blue Pit is just one bag as well. At most I use 2 bags to collect. 70 and 37.

Watch Frenchy's YouTube video. The washing machines spin pretty hard.

Frenchy's coolest method is how he uses buckets with the bottoms removed to make stackable collars. Put a bag on each collar and stack. Run your machine drain water through the bags and rinse. I removed the large amounts from the 73 bag each run and left the others alone. Then after five runs I rinse and collect from all of the bags.

Super easy and fast!

Mo

a tripped out Hash Washing machine.lol wow
it be nice if Boltbags sold it that way ffs. i really don't see myself riggin mine up like that. i felt the inside of my drain hose today and wasn't even sticky. would be nice to do it your way MO . BUT i aint takin apart my machine and buying a soldering tool/i would prob brake or burn myself / something /and really regret it. My machine isn't a boldtbags machine and it doesn't have screws where yours are.

I am a tinkerer. I get high and go nuts on this kind of stuff. My family has over 500 patents between them. I came up with a killer idea today. I need to do a patent search and see if it is already been done. If not I may be rolling in it in a few years!

According to Frenchy it's the cold that is most important from what I glean. And tbh, I have only watched one of his videos. So spinning washing machines, ice shape, and all that is not that important....or is it. I use to use just a kitchen spoon and stir in a bucket. My end result was as good as stuff I get from the washing machine. The machine just takes away the hassle of sitting stirring manually. My machine spins one way, stops, then spins the other, and so on and so forth....

And with the Boldtbag machine, why are they selling machines that still need work done on them? Seems a bit of a rip to me. I bought similar bags to boldt bags from a link whodat sent me and they are great (the whole bags are micron, not just the bottoms). And not pricey at all (20% of the Boldt price).

Good luck with the patent, Mo.
