    @Tyrsonswood is exactly right - there is a drain for the gray water from the kitchen sink, and another drain that comes out (in the same place/trough) that comes from the washing machine. The elephant ears that benefit from this water are HUGE. lol

    I understand nobody is supposed to do that...but back when this house was built (1950) it was legal and fine. :)

    AND my friend came back with this 25' snake and managed to push the clog on down! The sink has been working like a charm since before lunch!

    I have to keep the dirt dug up and away...WELL AWAY - from covering up the drain. That leads to much trouble, which happened the other year. Aunt Cousin Mama had never told me this trough or whatever needs to stay dug out and let the drain completely show/be free of dirt. As I began thinking, I recall seeing her out there fooling around with a hoe, but she NEVER told me a thing...and then she either quit or forgot.

    Either way, there was sort of a catastrophe when the water was backing up in the basement sink, and I had no idea where it was coming from. I told the (very expensive) plumber that I had seen some soap bubbles, and he knew immediately it was coming from the upstairs sink. Years before, ACM had showed him everything about the drains, etc outside and inside (which I sure don't know) and he went out and saw the drain was completely covered up by dirt - and had nowhere to go.

    After getting his 15 yr old son in this piece of small heavy equipment and digging out dirt from the drain and a few other unnecessary things/taking out a bunch of weeds (and $300 later) everything was fine.

    He did tell me that people now can't build their houses like this. lol

    I bet a septic tank fills up snappy quick if gray water and everything goes in it.

    Woooahhhhhaaaa I dunno about this qualifying gig. I did what my team mates said, put grill tape to 100% it'll last 4 laps.
    I just practice this... I blew up coming to take my 3rd. I had to lower my tape to 70% to make 4 laps and even then I was 0.2 of a second off :(
    They did tell me that all the Qualifying sessions are mandated to the same weather, so perhaps its just hotter in my practice atm and I can't get it done.

    Been testing again lol, this time I set it to the same weather conditions as Qualifying and did 4 runs. I found as long as I leave pit road in 4th gear and stay at 50mph until the back stretch before putting my foot down, the engine will just last 4 laps. I did a 38.494 and atm that would be good enough for 2nd place with the times that have been scored for qualifying.

    If you try to get up to speed off pit road, you will blow up either coming to the line or in turn 4.

    I'll get pics later. It looks great. But... He didn't make it to the measurement I wanted he basically made it the same maybe 1mm smaller. A bee stinger. I'll. Play with it today though what the hell. Feels slightly different to use its more front weight. Was always gonna feel different. Also needs to order his shop stamp for it.

    Hmm. Well I never played good in my first game with it. :( I'll keep trying. Gotta learn it one way or another.

    We got a win! :D
    Jocelyn and Irminsul (pool cue) got our first win together. Felt much better then. Different though. I actually think if I can practice a lot in the off season, the fact that it's weighted top heavy will mean I shouldn't need to try as hard to get back spin. Like I should not have to use the power I normally would. If that's the case I think it'll improve my game a lot.

    Lost 3rd game but played really well. I only had 1 visit and ran 5 balls then lost out never got another shot. But there's definitely positives with the cue. :)

    awesome I am so happy for you well done mother's love

    that is not how a proper septic system works... The more water you put through a septic system the better.... It never fills up unless you have a closed system like in some cottages... If too many people are on a system I suppose it could fill up but mind is not
