Nice work going on here..curious why you didn’t use the crimp style clamps?

I am not a big fan of hose clamps as they have too many sharps edges, come loose over time and don’t look as clean..

Not OP, but I'm not a fan of the crimp style personally. My hose clamp of choice is the T-Bar style for silicone hoses, for example like this: https://www.amazon.com/HPS-Marine-St.../dp/B07PXHYBKK

My truck had the crimp style and they eventually fail. Anytime you need to remove them, you have to cut them off. Whenever I replace a clamp on a silicone hose, I move to the T-bar style.

I didn’t go with crimp style because I wanted it easily removable or configurable should I want to change vent or add onto it. I made a few cuts on the tubing yesterday that required additional cutting as I didn’t like the length after I had fittings to installed. If I would have used the crimp I would not be able to make those kinds of changes. If you noticed I positioned all of the clamps so that the ratcheting portion and where the band rolls is opposite from the bag. This helps protect the bag and make it a little cleaner. If you use a nut driver it should not come loose as i torqued them down tight AF. Many people make the mistake of actually using a flat head screwdriver slot on those clamps but they really need a socket or nut driver so you can crank on them pretty good. I do agree the crimps make for a much cleaner install.

Not the moomba but it does involves water.

A couple pictures of a squall that passed by a few days ago around sunrise taken from the bridge.

Beautiful skies and temperature on Lake Blackshear this weekend, but way too windy to really do anything. Lots of whitecaps. We took the skis to eat lunch and caught some pics of the local dinner/sight seeing train called Sam Shortline.
