Ok.. so I had two extraction jars going at the same time. I had naphtha into the jars and was tired of turning end over end. I thought there must be a better way. I came up with what I thought was a brilliant idea. Please learn from my foolhardiness and don't try this.
I wheeled my bicycle to the kitchen. I turned the bike upside down and I strapped the two jars onto the foot pedals. I was able to turn the wheel of the bike and the pedals would go round and round. It worked fine at first... key words here... at first.
A buddy of mine showed up and I thought I would show off my ingenuity. With a grin on my face full of pride at my genius idea, I brought him into the kitchen to show off my new extraction jar mixing invention bike. I turned the wheel and he was impressed. Then I spun the wheel much faster for some dang reason, showing off I guess. One of the straps loosened and the jar came flying out and burst all over the kitchen. Extraction fluid and naphtha everywhere. I was in shock and disbelief. My friend began laughing his ass off and I felt like crying! lol
So I grabbed my goggles and gloves and towels and vinegar and began cleaning the huge mess. Took me at least an hour to clean all the stuff up. It sucked cleaning that crap up! I ruined several towels. My pride was hanging by a thread. The grin no longer present. I was a sad man cleaning in that kitchen.
Oh well... lesson learned! I now use the bike for biking and mix the jars the old fashioned way for now on. S&*T Happens I guess! Anyhow.. that was the only time I had spilled anything or had any mishaps during an extraction. I went from hero to zero in very short order. C'est la vie!
