anyone know why the white pex?…is it an extra hot water line?
why didn’t they just use red?

Found this:
pex tubing normally falls into two main categories: PEX with an oxygen barrier and PEX without an oxygen barrier. PEX with an oxygen barrier is designed for closed-loop space heating systems, and will normally be either red or white. It is usually not approved for use with potable water. PEX without an oxygen barrier is designed primarily for use in potable water plumbing systems. It is available in red, blue, and white to make classification of water lines easier (red for hot, blue for cold, white for supply lines or single-color systems). The color of PEX does not change any of the tubing’s ratings. There would be no problem, for example, using blue PEX for hot water lines or red PEX for cold water lines. Other types of PEX include PEX-Aluminum-PEX, which is often orange, and PEX for reclaimed water, which is usually purple. Gray plastic pipe is often polybutylene — an older type of pipe that is similar to PEX, but that has a different inside diameter and chemical composition.

Good question, I've talked to a couple of plumbers about Pex including my son the plumber. I have older pex in my mobile home and was thinking of changing it.

White Pex I've read can be used as supply lines but the color does not really matter as they can be interchanged

You have a hybrid with the whip?
This will work with the capsule for a more manageable dosage.

Too many bags too fast make me go to sleep........good luck.

All I use is the dosing capsul
its a small enough hit and does the trick

This is my favorite vacuum super light, great suction, good for floors or carpet self propelled too. Mr sub likes our heavy one better. It sucks good too but is harder to push around and carry up stairs. View attachment 19171643
We had 2 vacuums and the one that broke was similar to the one your showing, we used it for many years. it was a good cleaner with good suction but noisy and somewhat heavy. The other one is typical of the body being separated by a hose and vacuum cleaning part. She does not like it, while it still works well she wants something that is easier to use. She turns 70 this year and is starting to feel the bite of old age.

The Mrs has decided she wants a stick one

the extra head is cheap
snaps in
I have to figure out what I need to do don’t want to have to disassemble the whole thing. I do like the big bowl but I guess I haven’t been filling it up enough according to dog. The tip about letting it vape a bit till you see it before putting the bag on was a good one. I was plenty stoned this morning sampling It with the kief. I only did one bag off the last load so I’ll just give it a stir and fill it up with no air gaps for my next ride.

We are having tacos so I guess I’m cheap too. Maybe steak tomorrow?
Tomorrow to make my Mrs happy is Fish sticks and tatter tots with a salad. We did have salmon filets last night.
Saturday will be steak day, I recently was digging through the freezer and found a bag with some striploin steaks in it. It's like christmas digging through the freezer when it slims down and I can shuffle things around.

Tacos are so good, I can even remember the first time I ate them.
When I moved from Ontario to BC there was different regional food choices.

Just getting in !
How are you doing Oldman?
Cold and foggy here
I'm doing well jokerman, my busiest day of the week is behind me. Supper is already made, just have to heat up the Manicotti.

Can't forget to fill out my personal grow journal, watered this AM.

Today may be the first day of spring but it still is not warm enough for my liking. Sunny off and on today

Hope your doing well.

Does your Mia like anything from you, like a dog likes a scratch or belly rub?
