[Guest]

Sounds like fun. Have a great time you guys.


Hope Nick answers the door when you get there!

 

[Larry Cobb]

If he doesn't ....

We'll just break the door down.

Jay says he has a Big Tree to Provide Shade

I'm Looking Forward to Some Horseshoe Competition

 

[Goldenboy]

Kegs?

Hope that 14" "angled jet" wand is a full 2" version.

 

[John LaBarbera]

With that wand, whats the flow going to be... I would hope at least .09 If your testing dry times.

 

[Mikey P]

Nick's free loading trailer trash neighbors will be just thrilled with Jim Smith's presentation on color correction in the 4th paradigm.

 

[steve g]

is there going to be any brisket??

 

[Chads]

damit Mike some of those neighbors could be my family and you dont want them mad at you.

 

[dealtimeman]

[Guest]

Wished I could be there

 

[Jay D]

OPen invite to anyone who wants to attend. With you lockhart it will be 6, Bring your V so everyone can drool. It will be fun and HOT. BBQ for lunch. :wink:

 

[Greenie]

damit Mike some of those neighbors could be my family and you dont want them mad at you.

your fam? sheeeet some of them neighbors could be Mikey's family.

The 4th paradigm was funny though.

 

[Hoody]

I got an invite but I'm unable to make it.

A few photos from the the BBQ:

Nick & Ara Klugian from Chicago showing their form to win some of the door prizes.

4 Piece Bluegrass band played some nice Banjo.

One very surprising result to me, was that "wand pushing" exhibited 2" more hg. than "wand pulling".
That is 20% difference for extraction direction.

Any ideas on why we observed that much difference ?

[Desk Jockey]

Looks like it drew about as well as the Disaster Expo in Louisana! :shock:

 

[John LaBarbera]

Hi Larry,

Looks like a good time. Nice pictures. Thanks. See you at Connections.

 

[Richard Crawford]

Lots of Beer and Hoes.

Claude

 

[Mikey P]

Because Nick's POS tank is cracked and 2.5 overwhelms it.


I cant not fathom with that dude form Chicago drove all the way down for some stale BBQ and to see Nick's POS rattle traps. The ride back will be the longest of his life.




Boy that *** crew is sharp.




lordy.

 

[XTREME1]

do they know that they make vans after 1990. J/k

 

[Mikey P]

I could look at those photos all day.

 

[Guest]

I don't know looks like they had fun don't need a big crowd to have fun do you?

 

[Mikey P]

I just want the t shirt.

 

[Greenie]

How's about some more names to match to pics?

Larry, you asked:

Larry"

Unless I'm missing something, this happens everyday, when you LEAN on a wand you compress the fibers and pad that much more, therefor introducing Resistance and restricting airflow, I would expect the HGs to rise with a push stroke.

Might pull a bit more water for flood extraction, but not carpet cleaning, I'll take the airflow of Not leaning on a wand, and a well designed 2" wand doesn't need any leaning, it grabs harder than a poorly designed 1.5" regardless.

Please tell me someone in that crowd had a decent 2" wand?

 

[Hoody]

I see Matt Weddle.

Who all went to the gentleman's club last night ?

EDIT..some how I missed GreenJuan's post.
But I ain;t deleting what I already typed....

not being there to see the operators, it could be as simple as the operator applying a bit of downward pressure on the wand handle when pushing forward.
Even if not using the grab handle, just the dynamics of pushing a wand would increase weight of wand carpet interface compared to pulling it.
I'm sure the type carpet and wand can contribute to the "grabbing" effect when pushing forward too.

Its always easier to pull a wand that push it, whether glided or non.

That downward "grabbing" effect on the forward stroke is the most logical reason (to me anyway) why you saw the increase in HG on the forward stroke, Lar





..L.T.A.

 

[Larry Cobb]

Larry;

I was watching the carpet during those tests.

When downward pressure was applied, the ripple of the carpet looked about the same in both directions.

With fours panels of carpet in the 100° sun and ~ 1 hour between tests on any panel...

the carpet was quite dry to the touch.
