Were you able to sort out the "low flow" from your Fire Truck yet?

I wonder if there is a "recirculate" valve on your pump outlet that sends pump outlet water back to the tank .. if your hose is off? It may be partially open? Do you have a pressure gauge on pump outlet? If the recirculation valve is open you'll have almost no pressure on your gauge. Close the valve till you get the pressure you want.

I'd assume your hand line is 1 1/2"? For that you like to see almost 100 psi.

I was wondering the same thing. Or the tank fill is open possibly.

Looks like a bot fly...poor critter...

He does see himself as a lap puppy

Trouble with Boxer pups as lap dogs is they always think they're lap dogs...even when fully grown and 60-70 lbs.!!

12-7-41 - Not even in anyone痴 plans yet!

11-22-63 - East Elementary, Dover OH, 3rd grade, just came in from being outside at lunch

9-11-01 - at work, talking to the receiving inspector when the news broke. Very shortly after, I was outside and to this day, think I saw Flight 93 turn towards PA. An airliner was flying low and erratically coming south then turned east. About 40 minutes or so later, Flight 93 was reported crashed in PA.

Radar path shown later appeared that flight 93 flew over this area.

68F and partly cloudy @ 21:00. Overnight low predicted to hit 60F.

Rubber bumpers ordered from McMaster and parts picked up from Kubota dealer.

Three bird feeders refilled, cats fed (both upper and lower)

Grass from culvert ditch raked up, some hosta re-homed to a neighbor, none planted however.

Decided to hold off one more day on finishing up mowing down here around house, hoping it will dry out a little more.

Said I was going to make some oatmeal raisin cookies ... The Woman immediately volunteered to participate. She's mixing up the ingredients now, I've now been tasked with the actual baking ... :laughing:

RNG I don't know how I missed it but just realized you're having smog problem with the van. When I bought my Daihatsu mini truck it was registered in Ca. and the p.o. was a retired firefighter who had bought it from a guy out around the Salton Sea. The first thing I asked him was getting it smogged and he said that he had it for 3 years and never been told to get it done. He said that he thought the DMV thought it was electric but the title clearly says it's gas powered. I went to transfer the title and they said it had to be smogged so I took it to my regular smog shop and the guy said that he couldn't do because it wasn't in the computer system and I needed to take it to a DMV referee. I took it in and the referee was a real nice guy who said the truck had been registered for like 7 or 8 years and never smogged but couldn't find out why. He said that he could not smog it or exempt it and that the problem was with the DMV who should have never issued a title or registration for it. I was in the NAPA store one day and the guys there were admiring it and when I told them about my problems one of them told me to go down the street to a private business that handles DMV stuff so I did. The young guy there looked the records up and said the referee was right and then said the only way to register it was to get a P.O. box in an area where smog was not required. I had never known there was such a thing but he said the closest was the Pala Indian reservation just a few miles away or a small town up in the mountains East of San Diego where they are exempt from smog laws. I went to the reservation and the guys running the P.O. there were retired U.S.P.S. workers and they laughed and asked if I was trying to beat the smog deal. I said yes and they said they do it all the time. I took the receipt and box # back to the registration guy and he put it all into the computer and gave me the paper work to transfer it to my name. It's worked every since. The other problem I had was insurance as my broker couldn't find anyone to cover it but Progressive and he couldn't write a policy through them. I got on the computer and had the deal done in just a few minutes but It is pricey.Like $325 every 6 mo. for bare minimum liability and only me as driver.Double to put the wife on policy.
