Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 6.
Apparently the monoamonum phosphate in ABC powder units is heat reactive ( it forms a skin over burning combustible materials )
so if the unit gets hot especially in a car in summer there's a risk of it caking,
years ago I did a full day [back when they used real fire be it wood or petrol in trays (none of this modern risk averse "safe fire" gas burner which as Long as you sweep from side to side the man turns the gas off making you think you put the fire out] fire course and was told to invert the extinguisher and shake it before discharge larger units drop it on its side .... To break up small clumps that can clog the "pick up tube" resulting in a blast of nitrogen and very little powder.......
Recent amendments to the bsi installation of extinguisher regs make powder forbidden indoors in most industrial settings exclusions apply to filling stations or fuel stores where rappid knock down is needed and they won't freeze .. you'll know first hand the mess they make...
Talking to my friend in home insurance it won't affect a domestic policy they'd rather pay a cleaning firm to clean up or replace soft furnishings from dry powder residue than rebuild a house due to fire damage

Invert before use.Top Tip! After using powder I am aware of the swift ' knock-down'. I also figured that the mess after a house fire ,caused by an ABC unit just has to be preferable to full-on fire damage.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

The free one looks nifty. I should really get one of these for the lower branches - but the tree is taller than the house. I'm experimenting with pear preserve and chutney recipes.ForgeCorvus wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2019 7:11 pmCleric: You need to get yourself a fruit picker pole, they come in three basic types

The roads are pretty bad and if you do end up getting stuck its hard to justify your reason for being on the roads as 'vegan mince for a feckin' princess'.

Some of the newer torches(never going to call them flashlights) have so many lumens they will soon end up with danger warnings like lasers

The questions were relatively easy, the site kept logging out, and you would have to repeat the section you hadn't saved all over again...... repeatedlyStonecarver wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2019 8:52 pmIf you cant complete it then they dont want you coming over

Now I'm in a pissing contest over the amount of medication I am legally allowed to bring in.... TSA wont touch it, CBP have said 90 days... my trip is for 180.....CBP said it's up to the CBP person on the desks discretion when I arrive.... yeah thanks for that
