I broke in two pipes last week with some Escudo

First pipe was a Frames XL Canadian style and second pipe was a Ser Jacopo

Thx, it’s a heat pump, most likely TXV. Runs but evap coil is ~33 supply and 70+ at suction.

Hopefully the Expansion Valve then.
Good luck man

HB Cake is an all-time favorite for me, and I have long looked forward to getting my own 311 KS - great combo!

Did a set of walking reps, and chatted with a couple of neighbors about Abner the Eager. No luck. Smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. Watching the Orioles-Cubs game. It's time for lunch.

Now enjoying a Peterson Terracotta Spigot 69 full of aged Opening Night. Hope all enjoy their weekend.

Sounds like an excellent start to a fine Saturday morning to me. Some good baccy, to boot.

So then it was a setup, and I took the bait. Pretty esoteric one, if ya ask me!!

I'd think most everything on this forum would be considered esoteric to someone outside the hobby, no doubt, but for those of us that are partaking it's a great place to learn something new every day, my friend.

My son was out hanging in the lounge tasting some tobacco with me last night. Stayed up too late, so only my second bowl for the day already. Waking bowl was Ryback + Exclusive in a Celebi deep lattice meer. Now moving on to a home mix of predominantly Peretti tobaccos in a Caminetto bamboo with the post-breakfast coffee.

Enjoyed a tasty lunch, and am smoking year 2020 Watch City Rouxgaroux in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Natural 4AB No. 6/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. Coffee from a freshly opened bag of Gold Star Peruvian Macchu Picchu, neat, is my drink. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' by my feet. Forgot to mention that when I was walking down the hill from my first walking lap, Tomato the Brave came out of the sewer to greet me. I gave him a quick head scratch, and continued on. When I was coming down the street for my last lap, I saw a young teenager at his grandmother's mailbox. Tomato ran up to him as fast as he could, and got a lot of back and head rubbing. When I got near them, I complimented the young man (who I've never seen before) for his kindness to Tomato, who stayed near us long enough for the guy's young sister to pet on Tomato, too. They've never seen Tomato before, and asked about him. Everybody loves Tomato and he loves everybody, too.

Pee Dee in this Savinelli Oscar Tiger. Sweet iced tea. I have seen with envy your reports of a break in your hot weather. I’m happy to report the same. The humidity has dropped below 80% to a more comfortable 79%. Feels like temperature is down at least 10 degrees to a balmy 110F. Hazy, lazy days of summer are here again!

ABSOLUTELY!! Couldn't agree more! And I'm learning more every day!
