home depot has 2'x3"pvc for 0.96USD everyday...

@carlman: how? where? I didnt even know they made 2" sprinkler valves...

my good deal was that i found 8' of 6" pvc in the woods behind my house... so FREE, cant beat that.

3" metal camlock set off of ebay for $15, plus $12 shipping. Still a deal, as ordering them off Mcmaster would have been at least $50.

WTF? No gieco joke (pretty obvious how it would go)...

Let's see TMI but, met a hot girl on the bus stop, I was a gentleman, she goes... :shock: ...took her home...she left, roomate came home, invited me to casino for slots (I hate slots but just guessed it was my lucky day) :roll: won $680 second pull (with like $1) I cashed out, ate dinner there.
Next morning I found a diamond earring on the other bus stop! :D :D :D

Spud luck, I showed a simple sprinkler valve cannon to a friend and he was impressed and had lots of pipes laying around. So he told me take my pick of whatever, whenever I can get back there too! 8)

Of course, but not quite successfully, might actually have made the hole in the ozone layer slightly bigger actually :D
