You need a vacation. So do I but I feel like your chances for getting a break are better than mine.

No end of the year break? I'm going to take two weeks off starting December 22nd.

Breaking out the new game Coulsdon?

I'll be working long hours straight through January. I think I need a new job more than I need a vacation.

Sorry, what? Is that an autocorrect gem?

Definitely going to unbox the new console.

There's sidework too. I've been taking it easy the last few weeks but there's a hydraulic cylinder I really, really need to get apart and order seals for. That sum bitch has progressed from leaking, to pissing, to squirting fluid out.

Hydraulic cylinders have traumatised me for life. A couple of months ago one of those went straight from leaking to gushing water out and flooded my house while I was away.  Caused quite a bit of damage.

Just be thankful it was water and not hydraulic oil. That stuff is seriously nasty. I coat my hands in dish soap and then wear nitrile gloves. It'll dissolve any natural rubber and most plastics.

Out of curiosity though, where in your house was a hydraulic cylinder? I've never heard of a home with a hydraulic system.

Yikes! Yeah...I'll stick with water!

There is a huge possibility it was not a hydraulic cylinder.  A pipe perhaps? It was a cylinder connected to the bathroom sink.

My ignorance is showing, isn't it?

No. Hydro is water so a cylinder of water is a hydrocylinder.

This is a hydraulic cylinder as used to push an pull things. Oil is used as it does not corrode the metal of the cylinder.

Ah, ok. I was way off the mark then!

Not to worry, the language barrier will always be there. What you had was a pipe or flexible tube connecting the supply pipe to sink faucet that leaked. The pipes are cylindrical, so that can be confusing.

Yes.

Thanks.

From a purely technical point of view, a kitchen sink water pipe is a hydraulic cylinder. There is some action going on in that pipe such as dynamic loading as a result of water hammer. Some thermal action too.

In our general gear head parlance, a hydraulic cylinder is a device that converts fluid pressures to linear or rotary motions or forces. And then there are pneumatic (air) cylinders that do pretty much the same thing as hydraulics but not as ultimately powerful. 

I will respectfully decline the temptation to describe the behavior of a penis with explanations of human hydraulics.

That's simply turgor pressure.
