LOL! Hey, Chicago has 3 cups since 2010… Pens only have 2.

Not to say anything, but the hawks have like what, 5 championships since 1926? Several of those coming when the league was much smaller, like maybe 16 teams? The pens on the other hand have been around since 1968 and In addition to their eight division titles, they have qualified for six cups, winning in 1991, 1992, 2009, 2016, and 2017. They happened to lose one to a team called the detroit red wings with their red line in the 90’s. I liked the hawks until they got rid of Chelios, Roenick, and belfour. Although the more modern era of the toews and kane was some beautiful hockey hair, they were too prancy for me.
Just so you know, when the pens had their first game back in Pittsburgh after the candians won the gold, they announced it in the arena about crosby winning the gold. We booed him. I don’t know why those idiots in the Pittsburgh clubhouse thought we would cheer for that, but the owner is Canadian so who knows. They have an owner called lemieux, you may have heard of him. He won a couple of cups, scoring titles, and even beat cancer.

Come on man, Chicago has 16 division championships since 1968 and 3 Stanley Cups since 2010 (the other 3 came in 34, 38, and 61). It’s not all in the distant past.
Dudes… get your own sports thread…

@Steve showed you how to move that to a new thread… 
I still can’t figure it out. Not sure if I have the ability from a mobile device.

Ah yeah I’d imagine that would be much more of a pain.
The 2" pvc threads aren’t the same threads as the cap threads on my 55 gallon drums. The pvc kind of holds in place on its own, though. Are your threads the same as what I’m dealing with? If not I might go with 1.5" pvc, drill a hole in the original drum lid, and make sure it’s a tight enough fit to where air can’t escape.
Do you have two caps on your drums? Because one of them will be a coarse thread, and the other should be NPT.

Didn’t even think to pop the other one. Thanks Alex!

Who asked you. Don’t you have some trucks to wash all night you vampire?

Nice! I built one last weekend. Will be nice not having to mess with a 12v pump to fill up each night.
I think I might do a test and see how much pressure a drum can take. It might be neat but I doubt it will blow like the washing machine where we threw a 500 sparkler sparkler bomb into it…lol. I’m not sure how high a piece of sheet metal flew but when we replayed the video I think we counted to like 5 or 6 seconds before the last piece hit the ground. The worst part was something went wrong and we were only 5-10’ away when it blew. I felt like I was back in the Marines for a second. Luckily, with the lid facing up most of the force went up instead to the side. Young and dumb. Stuff like that is like fire. It’s hard to resist messing with it. I think it’s just in the male DNA. I imagine the drum will just get a big split or two in the side. I’ll be a ways back just in case it really goes boom. Will be nice to know the actual bursting pressure just to be safe. I think my air compressor can put out 175 to 200 psi.

Please video this “testing for science” 
Of course…lol. I would send you the video of the washing machine but you’d probably end up sending me a box of crayons a week. That was back in my drinking days so I kind of have an excuse. I don’t even know if I still have it. That was quite awhile ago.

Please send me the video. I promise not to send any crayons. I mean I have Marine friends so I know the deal.
Anxiously awaiting your results…

I thought it would take more than 65 psi. If that was the same force as 1/4 of a grenade that sparkler bomb we did was probably equal to a stick or more of dynamite…lol
That drum was sealed, so the pressure has to go somewhere, whereas in the case of a pump there is an outlet for the pressure.
What pump? Not sure what you mean by that?
