That was my guess as well. Quite a bit of pressure, momentary heat, but no apparent shrapnel inside the cab.

Someone keeps dumping bagged dog shit on your property between 3:30pm and 5:00pm. What do you do about it?

Put a chair out the front at 3.30pm and wait for them then call them out.

Tail them home secretly and pepper their front door with all previous days' deposits. Make sure it stays moist to get a good splat.

I bet it really rang his bell. Hopefully no permanent ear damage.

Trail cam. Find out who it is. Ask them to stop. Retaliation isn't worth it when someone knows where you live. Motion activated sprinkler is also a good option.

I am dealing with this too, there is a dog in my neighborhood that the owners let wander around and he poops in my driveway and pees on my truck tire. I posted on the community FB board that I would like it to stop or I am trapping the dog in my yard and calling animal control. Hasn't happened in a few weeks now.

This seems like a good place to vent.
I've been on the lookout for a BBK. Last couple of weeks there were 3 listed in the classifieds. One guy finally lowered his price a bit and after a little back and forth, we agreed on a price and pickup time and place. The day before the scheduled pickup, he pm's me and calls off the deal saying someone had offered $141 more than our agreed-on price. He said that he was sorry.

Do I let it go? Trash him in a review? Or, find out where he lives and leave dog poop on his front porch? I'm open to suggestions.

Offer him an even hundred bucks more and then don't show.

I kid. I kid. Asshole's not worth it. Flush him out of your head.

I'd just wait for him, introduce myself and ask him not to do that no more -

Guys, thoughts on the quality of construction/workmanship/welding on this $275 made in USA frontpipe?

I'm no weld expert, but I believe this is clear evidence of partial burn through, like the flange welds on the outside of the pipe were too hot and started melting the actual piping, and that's what these gray raised/bubbled areas are on the inside of the pipe. Looks like they actually tried to grind some off in one spot but left the rest.

I'm not too happy with the QC here and I've asked the vendor I purchased it from about getting it swapped out for a different one.

As a non-functional aside, there's also oily weld slag inside the pipe.

@ 100% over penetrated. Future fail point.
