I love the smell of pump oil in the morning...

OK. Pretty good news here, and this was a simple one.

Pump oil was an easy change. Much easier than say for instance easy-outing snapped flame arrestor plate bolts...:rant:

And the oil was CLEAN. Blueish tint. It still stank nicely, (offended my delicate sensibilities, Karl ) but I am guessing I wasted some money here.

Well, not wasted really - I wanted to be sure we were all good as far as the pumps, and the options are a lot more expensive than a bottle of oil. So, someone did a service on the drives not too many hours ago. Also got a good look at the trailing edges of the Impellers, they were clean with no nicks I could see.

BTW - Anyone else around here old enough to know where my thread title (well sort of) came from?

I am going to venture a guess and say Apocalypse Now. I saw the movie when it was first released.

Smell?

I love the fresh smell of the crypto plant, early in the morning when the little purple hairs have that glistening of the sweet aroma that comes from the most expensive "pine top" plant........:rofl:
