Re: Stus-List Fire blankets, beer & wool

[Russ & Melody via CnC-List]

Hi Bill,

Sounds like the same set-up on your CO2 bottle that our local guys 
call "the welding head". Be careful with using it unregulated on the 
ship's horn as I suspect it's air supply was spec'd at the 100 to 150 
PSI range. As you probably know a CO2 bottle can be 400 PSI in normal 
summer temperatures.


Maybe try the ship's horn with a propane bottle. It's a closer 
pressure, in the 150 PSI range, and that will really get the safety 
bears spitting when you tell them what you're up to. :)


Cheers, Russ

Not sure what you mean by 'Welding Head', but it has a high volume 
regulator, the typical regulator that would handle welding gasses or 
pushing beer did not have the volume to handle a ships horn.  No dip 
tube,  but I suspect that If I turned it upside down it may come out 
liquid, I have never experimented with that. It certainly comes out 
with some force.
And boy, you are right about Wool rugs, I threw one on a bonfire 
years ago, and neither blaze nor lacquer thinner would make that thing burn.

Good point Bill.

Does your CO2 bottle have a "welding head" on it?
I suspect you were being tongue-in-cheek but it gets us thinking...
Does the CO2 fire extinguisher have a dip tube for liquid 
expectorant? Would a horn on a beer system CO2 (welding head) bottle 
valve work in a pinch?, say to a nod to multi-purpose.


I too brew beer and have a couple of small CO2 bottles and some 
corny kegs to purpose for cruising. Mmm.


As for fire blankets, it's good that the Admiral is a natural fibre 
snob. Cotton & wool are excellent choices for fire blankets and 
duvets. They smoulder, not flash up like synthetics, so toss the 
blankie on it and follow with the nearest water jug, beer, wine, 
whatever and you have a good story with a plus, if you're not 
putting out fires they're warmer if it's damp out (like 7 months on 
the Wet Coast) when used for the principal purpose.

CO2 and halon are very nice ways to put out a fire without 
destroying the interior.


CO2 extinguishers tend to be fairly big and halon is expensive now.

All,

 

Here are some shots of our access panel in the head.  The bottom has a
flange and the top has a ball that goes into a bracket.  You push in on it
and the door pops out.  Sorry about the blurry picture of the bracket.  Let
me know if you would like more shots or other info.

 

BTW, I didn't mean to sound like I was tooting my own horn in the last

Re: Stus-List Wow, Digest guys just don't get it (Josh Muckley)

[Garry Cross via CnC-List]

Using a browser and the web version of gmail you have to click the drop
down in the top left of the reply window and click Edit Subject, at which
point you get a pop-up window that gives you the entire digest to edit as
you see fit.

I have to admit deleting the unwanted text is a PITA, but courteous to the
readers and to the archive storage requirements.

Then there are the various clients on handhelds and tablets that very
likely have nothing in common on the way to do it.

Re: Stus-List Stus-CNG tank refills

[Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List]

The tanks is a modified SCUBA tank. 1100 PSI is about just under half full. 
They are usually about 2200-2400 when topped off.
You need to go on FleaBay and look for an adapter to hook your tank up to the 
CNG station to fill it. They hold about $4 worth of gas. Your other choice is 
to find a marina that does CNG tank exchange for about $100!
Something like THIS is what you need:

Subject: Stus-List List Management

I did not realize how many people were getting the postings in Digest Format 
until I checked the subscribers’ list.  There are quite a few and many of them 
are using Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail email addresses.

Maybe part of the problems with Gmail are that when replying to a message, it 
does not appear that you can trim the message or change the subject line.

After a bit of searching, I found the solution:
•  Log in to Google Mail using your username and password.
•  Click the mail conversation you want to reply to with an edited subject or 
to trim the message.
•  In the textbox with the message “Click here to Reply or Forward,” click 
“Reply.”
•  To the left of the name of the person you are replying to, click the 
dropdown arrow. A pop-up menu appears.
•  From the pop-up menu, click “Edit subject.” Gmail’s new compose/reply window 
will appear for you to type your reply.
•  To edit the subject, click the cursor into the subject field and make the 
desired changes.

I don’t know if Yahoo and Hotmail are the same or not.

There could be other web-based email programs that prevent changing the subject 
line or trimming messages.  Maybe one of our members can help out there.

I can’t change much in the list mailing software, but I have made some changes:
a) digests will be smaller is size – so you might get more than 1 a day 
depending on traffic on the list
b) the actual size of messages to be sent has been decreased.  So if you do not 
trim your messages, they may get rejected.

In a previous message, some one asked “Who cares?”.  The answer is ME!  I 
own, maintain and pay for the list.  So, when you are in my playground, you 
play by my rules.

Stu
