good thing about Pex is it will not blow up just bubble and split

Bad thing about black iron is it will leach crap into your supply so you can't shoot paint.
Hadn't thought about using pex. That's a hell of an idea. Report back occasionally on how that holds up please.
Also, how you liking that qunicy compressor? I was down to one of those or the Eaton. Ended up going Eaton, but it was close.

Compressor only has 10 hours or so on it.
My old shop in Colorado has had pex for 12 years. No issues. When I was talking to the plumber working on the house addition, I asked him about using pex. He did the install for free to see how it would work. I paid for the materials. Talked to him a couple years later. He had done a number of installs in barns and shops. Thanked me for the idea.

This is a master engine swappers tool kit!
Love me a big hammer with a short handle. My buddy has a 5lb head with a steel handle that he calls Thor. Great for making minor alterations
I call mine the hammer of Gondor.
Suddenly I picture Wade dressed as Gimli swinging the hammer and counting the blows....35,36,37
Dont know what that is. So it definitely will not happen.
from Lord of the rings
Was a really great moment in the film. And don't worry, Gimli is a badass
Never seen it.

Well now you have to watch it
He’s short, angry, I’ll tempered, feisty and normally kickin ass. Sound good enough
I doubt that will happen.
Maybe it will put you to sleep.
Then I wont get as much done.

Update. Air system is done. The Jimmy is inside for repairs.
Bought this today.
Guy said on the phone,"just drive to the end and park". I had to back out a half mile, turn around and back in, then make this turn into a one lane driveway.
He hand built a cool shop. Glass blower. Look at the framing.

one thing i learned real quick working tow trucks for years was if you cant see what your going for back up to were they say it is . one day i had to back 1/3 mile out turn around and back 1/3 mile back in then hook and drive out the 1/3 mile . . . . that sucked .
nice score

One night in November a few years ago,I rode with a friend to go get a truck in CT he bought--he used his pickup & car trailer to haul it home..
The truck was next to a barn,off the road about an 1/8th of a mile at the end of a long driveway,with tall trees along the entire length...single lane drive,with no room to turn around once you got all the way in there..!..pitch black too,no lights to guide you to along the driveway,only one outdoor flood lamp near the barn..the back up lamps on the truck were not much help either..
Attempts to back the trailer in was futile,with the owner of the property trying to guide us in with a flash light--trailer was about as wide as the driveway,and each side had a two foot deep drainage ditch all the length of it..my friend wasn't too good at backing a trailer up period,even in daylight..it kept wanting to drop into the ditch..
We ended up un-hitching the trailer after about a half hour of not getting anywhere,we made it maybe only150 feet off the road,and the guy suggested we use his riding mower to pull the trailer all the way to the barn,then fought with it trying to spin it 180 degrees by hand,so we could point it back towards the road...
We had to drag it sideways with the riding mower to turn it around..made some deep ruts in his driveway,which was mostly mud with some gravel mixed in..it had rained hard the day before,and our boots sunk up to our ankles in muck..feet got soaked instantly..
..was about 30 degrees out too..
We got to the guys house about 7 pm,it had been dark over an hour already by then..it was almost 10:30 pm by the time we had the truck loaded on the trailer,and strapped down..had to do it mostly in the dark,as the lone flashlight we had with us had its batteries croak almost instantly once we got to the truck..
My friend vowed never to go pick up another vehicle after dark..
Luckily we made the 50 mile trip back without any other problems,like a flat tire or other woes..
He has hired a ramp truck a few times to go get a few other vehicles since,when the owner wasn't going to be available during daylight hours ..said "It's WORTH the $150"...
