So, I got the new parts today to hook up a new line and after examining the connection I could not see any kind of locking mechanism on it. So I went home and slapped a set of Channel Locks on it and gave it a good twist and hoped not to break anything. It came right off and the new fitting went on fine and it works like a champ. It was just stuck. I'm happy I didn't break it. Thanks to those that tried to help me out.

I'd literally rather eat out of a dumpster.

Also a good skill to have!

Unironically, that skill saved me over this past Winter, and you would be surprised how much fresh free food you can find there.

I rummaged through dumpsters in college a time or two. Good pickings if you know where to look.

Aldi and Trader Joe's are pretty good pickens during the Winter. They throw out a lot of packages products where the expiration dates don't matter as much as you might think.

Having a leg inside a Green Dumpster when a disinterested parking-lot cop rolls and asks you what you are doing, that makes your question the worth-whileness of the Poet lifestyle.

But fuck it.

Better than writing prose, like a normie.
