So, the title of my talk is, stay with us, building a survival proposal for a corrosive digital environment. How could a digital environment be corrosive? Obviously, we have to make it be corrosive. Why would we want to make a digital environment corrosive? The whole point of a digital environment is that it's completely stable. It is. Nothing ever changes. And so the big picture that I want to leave you with is that the purpose of this research, the goal of this research is to say, if we are going to move to much, much larger scales of computation, which I believe we are, we are going to have to give up on our most cherished assumption of digital computing, which is hardware determinism. We're going to have to give up on the idea that the hardware is guaranteeing to do exactly the same thing every single time. And if we do that, we are going to have changes, degradations happening inside our software. And we're going to have to deal with that somehow. And the best way that I can think of to deal with that is to deal with that upfront. Suppose we build in corrosion. Suppose we build in an inherent mechanism that's tearing stuff down and ask, can we design software structures that will be robust in the face of that? And that's what I'm trying to do here. Okay. So I have a famous history of not being able to shut up. So the only safe thing to do is begin with the conclusions. So here they are. Traditional digital computing is ultimately unstable and unscrupable. I already touched on that just a little bit. Best effort computing is the alternative I'm proposing. The hardware does not guarantee to be 100% repeatable. It will try. It will try as hard as it can to get the same answer for the same inputs and the same instruction, but it doesn't guarantee to do it. If it fails to do that, software cannot complain. Software should have been covering its own access. Best effort computing offers inherent robustness and indefinite scalability. Once we give up on this idea that everything is going to be completely synchronous, kachum, kachum, kachum, kachum, and there will not be a failure anywhere in the universe, we in fact now can build computers of arbitrary size. Any actual machine is not infinite in size because infinity does not exist. But we can make any finite size that we like, and in fact we can keep on adding stuff while we're using it. Alright? And so we're actually working on building that. This here is a T2 tile. This is one of a unit of computing. It's got six connections around it. And the idea is you take these little inner tile connectors, and if I can get it oriented right, you stick it into one edge, and then you can put another tile next to it, another tile next to it, you get a whole row. Up on top they're staggered, offset, so you end up making a brick wall. These things share power, they share data. We have north of 150 of these now built, waiting for software loads. How much? How much money? Not counting my time at zero, it's somewhere on the order of $150. One time before zero, right? Say, well, I chose, right? You make a test. Say yeah. If you can show me that you will use that, we should talk. And I'll circle back around to that at the end of the talk as far as where we want to be. Okay? So, artificial life. This is why the reason I'm speaking here. Artificial life can ensure the lead the way in best effort multi-cellular programming. My claim is we are essentially going to recapitulate in a digital stylized form much of the history of the evolution of life in order to build up this new computational stack to deal with best effort hardware. Living systems never had the guarantee that everything was going to be perfect. They always had to deal with everything going. We're going to do the same and the design solutions we're going to get to, things like cells. Things like cells that reproduce for robustness, for performance, to fill available resources. That same thing is going to happen like that. Okay? So, the specific work I'm talking about today is called the C214 protocell. A year ago in Tokyo, I presented the C211 protocell. This is three numbers better. And I'll explain to you what the difference is between C211 and C214. There's a lot more left to do. All right. So, today I want to introduce the idea of software living technology. Living technology versus artificial life. Living technology versus artificial life. What's the difference supposed to be? Living technology actually cares about being useful for society. So that someday somebody might even pay for it. It doesn't? No, I don't think they have to use it. What makes it anything different than an artificial life simulation? We can debate that question. I was going blue-marked with those. I was coming secret. Then you told me that infinity doesn't exist and you were instantly my friend. Well, the slogan is infinity is brain damage. So we may think it exists, but we don't need to look at ourselves. We really are. All right. So I suggest that we have not just a scientific interest in exploring the meaning of life and using digital systems to make models of life, all of that stuff. We have an additional obligation to society to help develop new computational architecture that will scale better than CPU and RAM and hardware determinism, and it will not suck at computer security like CPU and RAM and hardware determinism manifestly does. Okay. So today, this, oh, and then the couple going forward is for next year at the A-Life 2020 conference. We want to have 150 or more of these in a grid, maybe two meters by a meter and a half on the wall in the lobby, or we're negotiating, we're talking with conference organizers, as we speak, and I would really love it to be running your code. So the big picture is there's at least two big attractors, two whole styles of computation, and they couldn't be more different. I'm not going to go through every box on this thing, but roughly the middle column is what we have today. We focus on algorithms getting from input to output. Important point number one, the algorithm must be correct. Given that it's correct we want to be as efficient as possible and yes, we want to be as robust as necessary. And what I suggest that the alternate approach to what I'm calling the indefinitely scalable approach just rotates that one step. We're going to say it must be robust. In other words, it must put up with whatever challenges get thrown at it in its typical environment. Given that it's robust, it should be as correct as possible. Yeah, it should try to get the right answer. That's not the most important point, but it's a very important point, and then finally it should be as efficient as necessary. That's the change in mentality. First be robust, then as correct as possible, and as efficient as possible. Both get the same things, they just have a different set of emphases that lead to very different architectural designs as suggested by all the other rows of this table. And again, what we have today, is the master of the universe. The programmer is God, nothing happens except what the programmer says. The programmer can write something to memory on step one, and read it back on step one trillion, and it must be the same. The indefinitely scalable process is there's going to be many, many similar things trying to cover for each other, or compete to do the results, whatever it may be. It's member of the team versus master of the universe. And again, this is not for me, because everybody in a computer science talk needs to have a deep, annoying picture, right? There's a few others, but they're not as good. And in 1948, he was saying, you know, we're going to have to move beyond hardware determinants. We're going to have to build a model that allows malfunctions with low model builders, and we're going to have to care about how long the program is. That's crazy. And now it's been approaching 80 years, 70 years since he said this, and we're still doing it the same way. We haven't listened to it. So I feel like what I'm trying to do is affirmative action for what von Neumann said we should have done seven decades ago something like that. And there's obvious reasons why we haven't done it. It's hard. And we have all of these design assumptions, hardware determinism, binary numbers, universal computation at a very low level. All of these design decisions interact and support each other and resist giving up on determinism. And if we give up on determinism, we have to give up on stuff that we didn't even imagine was an assumption. We thought it was obvious. There was no other choice. There are other choices. All right. So, what I figured out and only took a decade or so was that instead of just saying the current model of computing is bad and wrong, we need to come up with an alternative model of computing that's good and right that we can head toward rather than just heading away from where we are. Because there's way too many directions away from where we are. And the suggestion is we should head towards architectures that are indefinitely scalable. That they never run out of RAM. They can't have a single CPU because you can only fit so much stuff in the light cone surrounding a single CPU. Period. Just as a matter of physics. Okay? So, if you take this really seriously, if we're going to come up with a computer architecture that we can grow to arbitrary size without ever saying, whoops, 640K of RAM were done. Whoops, 64-bit address space were done. If you can think of architectures that have none of those limits that's what indefinite scalability is about. That's what the T2 tile exemplifies and that's what I believe is sufficient to drive the development of artificial life for useful computation. We need kind of an entirely new computational sector. So that's why this research project has taken a little while. We've made a ton of progress but really the idea is artificial chemistry is the physics. You imagine making some level of commitment to saying this is the kind of state transitions we're going to support. We'll build in some kind of programmability some kind of customers can say, well I want elements that make things grow bigger or I want elements that make stuff look like flowers or whatever the heck it is and they could have that. But then even that is going to be sort of an unaware level. We're going to control access to changing it and then above that we'll have the sort of chemistry level where it's just reactions happening and that will be relatively a free-for-all within the rules defined by the physics within the rules. If it's not deterministic distributed architecture why is it not deterministic distributed? Because it definitely scalable forces us to give up on determinism and to give up on central processing. So that's how these things work together. So local state transitions spatially distributed, this guy says I want to do something he looks at his spatially local neighborhood and says well given where I am now I want to do swap these two guys and change to blue and they do it. So those local state transitions is our programming model. That's what we have to do. We have to figure out how to develop a number of elements and give them state transition rules. And from one level now it's just a software problem. Like all software problems are just software problems. But it's worth your life to actually try to get it right and in fact you have to try stuff because you don't understand how the interactions between one set of decisions you made are going to work in the company. And that's just as true with traditional computing. It's just normally you have this much bigger chunk of where you believe your God where everything does what you say it does. Before you get to input and output and now you deal with somebody else's stupid assumptions in the whole industry, the artificial biochemistry, when we get to these sort of proto-cells that we can now start doing a higher level organization and instead of thinking in terms of atoms and molecules we'll think in terms of cells and multicellular organizations and we'll go on up. This is called the event window. This is what the world looks like to an individual atom. It sits in the middle at site 0 when it's turned to go its transition rule is going to look at any of those 41 sites including itself, make any decision it likes and update that window not just itself but rewrite the window however it likes in its image. Well, rewriting in its image is not a good idea. But this is it. This is all that a local element gets to see to make its transition. Alright? So how are we going to make these transitions?  It seems like a cellular atom. And it is a cellular atom. But it's not a conventional one. It's not synchronous and there's no guarantee you have to terminate this. What we do instead is we pick a random site and say okay it's your turn to go okay it's your turn to go and there can be zillions of individual sites going on at the same time as long as none of their vent windows overlap. So the way we cannot write a state transition table for this. There's something like a thousand, several thousand bits of state here is the transition table with F2 and 3000 rows of the table. So instead we write code, we write programming language code. We put out languages to help us do that. This is a snippet from a program that defines an element called Swapline written in the language Oolong which we presented two years ago, three years ago or something like that. You know, even without knowing Oolong, Oolong was deliberately designed to look regional, we're familiar with, I get it, a site name. So those are the points in the event window. So it's a loop that's looking over the event window making some kind of decision. Getting the coordinates greater than zero and so on. And checking each atom to see is it a Swapline. And the goal of the Swapline mechanism is you have a vertical line that's heading east. But since it's not synchronous, the thing is not going to go chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk. One guy is going to get it to go before the others. So he moves ahead and the idea of a Swapline is he looks at everybody who is behind him to see are there any Swaplines around me that haven't caught up with me. And if so, I'll just wait. So what ends up happening is whoever happens to be the back man works his way forward and then the line goes forward. So what you see is this little raggedy line gradually moving east, never going more than a 45 degree angle. And the Swapline ends up being useful as a component of many other more complicated molecular systems up through and including this thing that reproduces arbitrary objects by passing Swaplines through it and copying the line when it finds it. This is a lot of code to express that. It works. It's good. But since then we've developed second language again which was presented last year called SPLAT that is based on spatial patterns rather than traditional sequential code. So here's the same program written in SPLAT. It's an element of the Swapline same thing, same color, same symbol. These are rules. Left-hand sign, arrow, right-hand sign. What's S? Well S is a site that has a Swapline in it. So if we have a Swapline and that sign always represents me. So if I have a Swapline to my left I can replace it with empty to my left and me. That means leave that site alone. Don't change it. So the net effect is that if I have multiple Swaplines in a given row they compress down to just one. Because that's really not supposed to happen. We really wanted to have an individual guy moving down. But then here's the trick. If I have a Swapline behind me above or a Swapline below me I do nothing. Don't change it, I don't change it, I don't change it. What does that do? What good does that do is the fact that this rule matched means the event is over. The way Splat works is it considers the rules one at a time and the first one that succeeds that's the end of the event. So if we have a lagging Swapline this matches and we're done. If not, me followed by anything turns into anything followed by me. So it accomplishes the same thing but it's much more concise and it gets at the spatial relationships that traditional programming languages really are bad. So that's it. So we take big leap from Swapline to the C211 memory. This is what I presented last year in Tokyo. Each of these things is a proto-cell that has a light blue intermembrane and a darker blue outer membrane and a bunch of goo inside. And you let this thing run and these things vibrate and move around and tear each other into parts reproduction and so forth. Now in particular these guys were really messed up and they had some uncontrolled growth problems so eventually the world end up being filled with this seeding cauldron of Jabba the Hut cellness just because of bugs. All of that stuff could have been fixed in principle if need be but there were other issues we could see 211 memory that we wanted to address instead. I'm running my short on time so I'm going to rush on ahead. Two of the issues were the C211 memory existed in a vacuum. The world was completely empty except for other cells. And the goo on the inside that cancerous goo was not very useful for making future additional more complex computations. So we have changed in the 214 model to adopt this corrosive environment. We have these elements called drag which stands for dynamic regulator and without going into the details dynamic regulator is empowered to erase stuff next to it no matter what it is. It rolls a random number and if it's just feeling like your number comes up, you're gone.  That's the corrosive environment.  Well because the other thing drag does is generate reds resource atoms and that's the only way that resource atoms are created. So if you give up on the drag to get safety, you have no resources. So we tie creation and destruction together in one element called drag. And so that's the model that we've lived in. These are the drag reactions in the details and then there's the three-step development. These are just three engineering improvements that we discovered when we put C211 in a world full of drag and watched what happened. It wasn't great. C211 was not prepared to deal with it. It turned out there were a variety of cases IM intermembrane OM outer membrane there's supposed to be an invariant that IM should always be surrounded by OM and that invariant is violated here. Why? Because drag came along and chewed off a little bit of it but it turned out because the rule for C211 wasn't expected yet. It's a pinning state. So the whole rest of the cell started flailing around in a little spot that never moved. So there were several things like that that we had to fix but in addition we wanted to say how could we do it even better and we'd help with this idea well, you know in the drag physics it's a sin to kill a drag. You're not allowed to erase a drag.  So it's a sin to kill a drag but that doesn't mean you're not allowed to erase a drag. So here we have a rule this guy is an outer membrane and he looks for drags anywhere in here and he looks for empty spaces out here and he finds that he pushes the drag further away. Which means it improves the survivability of the cell membrane a lot. And we took that one step further and again you can read about all this in the paper where in addition now the cell membrane there are little atoms that float around outside the cell membrane and act as patrols and when they see drag they use the cell membrane themselves and the drag to figure out a line which way should I push the drag to get it further away from the cell membrane and that works great and here is our results this is the survival graph 100% means survival rate 50% of the population was still surviving at 43,000 events and so forth and fun so far our C214 more than half of the populations were still surviving more than half of the individuals excuse me one cell in each run were still surviving and we got to 500,000 events which is where we started so we got better than a 10 time increase in the survivability and I'm out of time so why don't I show this while we take one question and let other folks in any case thank you so much any places where things don't work well and it seems to me we're relying on state areas not programs but programs would be in those machines so the programs can go on as well so how would you handle that? so the idea is you're going to have a layering of stuff that is extremely hard to change like the hardware then stuff that's fairly hard to change and that's going to be the laws of physics they're actually running out of firmware they're running out of flash and so forth can that program get corrupted? it absolutely can all we have to fall back on is to invalidate ourselves reboot and we will then take new copy from our neighbors automatically but there's no one solution you've got to keep solving it again at each level I'm not really an A-life person I'm kind of new to this and you're interested in analog processes and you're interested in stock elasticity why do you use analog confusing? I don't think analog and stochastic are welded together you don't need to use analog to use probabilistic or nondeterministic stuff and for me the distinction between digital and analog is totally a matter of degree if you take digital and say like these brown spots these are resource ads there's a amount of energy you know, shoveling between norms and wants yes and when you see how hot these things get now you say yeah, absolutely and my response is once we know what we want and we can optimize much harder than we can right now because we can tolerate some degree of error but by going all the way to analog we have to then build back in digital like recovery mechanism so it's going to go one way or the other just to quickly because I'm sorry I came in late I'm at another conference as well I'm interested in making chemical computers but not simulations of them literally chemical computers but I want to use cells which doesn't have addressability but I love the fact you're mentioning the need to go in sequence anyway I'll cut to the point can we throw out a little bit more in between can we throw out your computation being done in the CPU and instead use your architecture to address a cellular grid and a bit like Alan's question we actually embody the computation chemically basically in a jelly and can we use your system to interface and program the cells so the glib answer is yes I am not interested in doing that anytime soon because the impedance match the amount of hardware you would have to provide me the amount of physics you would have to provide me let's say you have that already do you have arbitrary nonlinear mappings of state to state that we can do low quality well then maybe we should talk I'll have to run away believe me it's really interesting I can see you hijacking your firmware I would love to say could we pop this digital stuff out and put goo in I think there's a reason to want to keep digital alright I'll use more than my time


Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen, Wa-Sallallahu ala Siddharah Muhammad al-Nabi Numi wa-ala alihi wa-sahbihi wa-sallim tasliman katheera. Rabbana a'atina milladunka rahma wa-hiya lana min amrin ar-Rashada. Assalamu alaikum, rahmatullah. It's a great honor to be in this blessed and luminous company, Alhamdulillahi wa-Shakrilillahi, in this blessed time towards the end of the month of Rajab and reflecting on the supreme and amazing night of the Isra'ul-Me'araj, the night journey and the heavenly ascension of the best of creation, Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And obviously that night is intimately connected and interwoven with the holy land itself. And so as we commence, we'll just, as it, tatimah of the beautiful du'a of Qari Amr will make a Fatiha for Faraj relief for the believers, the Muslims in the holy land and in all parts of the earth, Al-Fatiha, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Alhamdulillahi wa-Shakrilillahi. And that the Isra'ul-Me'araj is directly connected with the notion of tribulation. Because in the life of the Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the blessed Sira, this is the main event after what's called Aamun Huzun, the year of sorrow, in which there was very painful event, occurrences in the life of the Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that he lost Abu Tadeb. Abu Tadeb, of course, was the fatherly figure, very much like a father. And in fact, in the early part of the Sira, when they went to Buhairah in Sham, when he was asked, he said, this is my son. And Buhairah said, it can't be your son, and he said, okay, it's my nephew. So there was a fatherly connection, and according to the text of the Qur'an, that the Prophet loved Abu Tadeb, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that you do not get to guide those, everyone that you love. The one that you love, the dominant Tafsir, is that this was revealed after the passing of Abu Tadeb, who died without clearly and outwardly accepting Islam. And so man ahbabta is a reference according to most scholars to Abu Tadeb. So the love that the Prophet had, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, is like the love of a child for the father, for the parent. And also the political protection, so the outward protection that Abu Tadeb provided for the Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, according to the tribal structure of the Arab and the Quraish, that this was lost now. And so this was a devastating, painful occurrence in the prior, the Amun Huzzan. And then of course, the solace and comfort of his blessed heart in the home, lady Khadija, our mother in Iman, may Allah be pleased with her. And that we know also that the Prophet had tremendous love for her, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that years later, according to Sahi Muslim and other collections, that when a sheep would be slaughtered, he would instruct the companions to gift the meat distributed amongst the friends of Khadija. So he would remember her years later, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, throughout his life. And our mother Aisha, she had this ghayra, it's a natural part of the soul. So she said, I never had ghayra for any of the women except for Khadija. And she mentioned this incident, that they're giving the meat years later. And so once she couldn't help but ask and she a little bit expressed her emotions. And she said, why Khadija? And the Prophet says, I was given as a provision from Allah, love of Khadija. I was given as a provision from Allah, love of Khadija. So, love of Abu Talib, love of Khadija, tremendous love, both of them taken according to some narrations within a few days, three days, three days later. And then he is in a state, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, of really seeking support, political support. Of course, his first priority is to always invite to Islam. But he's also then looking for support because Abu Lahab is next in line in Banu Hashim to provide protection and he just gives it nominally. So he really gives a pass for all of the just violent and sorted, tyrannical, misguided, the most misguided people on earth to really start abusing him to a new level, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And so he goes to Ta'if of where Bani Saqif is. And at Ta'if, he invites them with his sublime character, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. They mock him, they ridicule him, they use sarcasm against him, and then they have their children and their slaves, two categories that the Prophet especially loved, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He loved children, he loved slaves, he loved the people who are of the lower social strata of the community, the people in the outward. And so the poor people and these kind of, and so he, they had them line up and throw stones at him, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, until his blessed body, his legs were bleeding, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And so in that moment, and he was once asked in later, years later by our mother Aisha, what was your most difficult moment? And he alluded to that day. So it was his most difficult moment, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And he makes this sublime dua to Allah Ta'ala, and arguably it's the, arguably it's the most profound expression of the purity of slavehood to Allah. Just the, the safaa, just the, and that he says, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allahumma inni ashku, ilayka ashku da'fa quwati, now O Allah, to you alone do I complain of the weakness of my strength, wa qilla tahilati, and the paucity of my resources. I have no more strategies left, I have no more planning left, I've exhausted my plans, ilayka ashku da'fa quwati, wa qilla tahilati, wa hawani ala nas, and how I've been just mistreated by everybody, by people.  He never doubted Allah's mercy. He never doubted the attributes of Allah's beauty, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, just recognizing Allah's mercy. You are especially the Lord of the weak, of those who have been, who are oppressed on earth, wa anta rabbi, and you are my Lord, and one of the supreme descriptions that we will highlight inshaAllah that in Surat al-Isra'at, because Allah Ta'ala describes him as abdihi, subhanal ladhi asra, bi abdihi, and so this is the description, according to many scholars, is the ashraf, it's the most sublime description of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and it's in the context of this most sublime event in his life.  And this is also a principle that we want to highlight tonight in terms of the Isra'ul-Miraj, because of tawakul, ila mantakiluni, to whom will you, ila ba'idin, yatajahamuni, to someone far off who will abuse me and mistreat me, o ila aduin, mallaktahu, amri, or to an enemy, will you entrust me to an enemy that you have given him power over me? Subhanallah, Allah is the ruler of every ruler. Allah is the king of every king. There's no one on earth with power, whether a good or a bad person, except that Allah gave him that power. It's an ibtila, it's a test from Allah.  So long as you're not angry with me, so long as you're not angry with me, then I don't mind. Then I don't mind. Walakin aafiatuka hiya osa'uli, but you're aafia to have well-being, to have safety and security, this is osa'uli, this is easier for me, this is more expansive for me. Walakin aafiatuk hiya osa'uli, a'udu binuri wajika lali ashaqat lahu dhulamat, I seek refuge in the light of your countenance, a'udu binuri wajika, I seek refuge in the light of your countenance and on the Isra'ul Meraj, he will see that light, sallallahu alayhi sallam, I seek refuge in the light of your very, wa juhu, the atuhu, the onama say that the wajah of Allah is the zaat of Allah, it's the very entity of Allah Himself. And so he's seeking refuge in the light of Allah's very being, a'udu binuri wajika lali ashaqat lahu dhulamat, that it gives light to all darknesses, all darknesses are illumined by the light of Allah, Allah is the illuminator of the heavens and earth, any good, any light in this earth, it's a direct expression of the divine light, it's a direct translation of the divine light, it's a direct manifestation of the divine light that Ibn At-Ta'ila says, al-koun kulluhu dhulmah, this world is just darkness wa innama anaruhu dhuhurul haqfihi, but the only thing that gives light is when Allah has manifested therein, when Allah has remembered therein, when the people who love Allah gather therein, when Allah has worshipped therein, when people interact with each other through the divine light with beautiful character, that's when there's light in the world. So this light that gives light to all darknesses, wa saluha alaih amrud dunya wa l-akhirah, and by it all affairs in this life and the hereafter are rectified, it made sound, they're correct, I seek refuge in this supreme light of Allah, that anything of your anger or wrath descend upon me, you can blame until you are well pleased, you can blame until you are well pleased, and there's no power, there's no might, there's no strength, there's no ability except through Allah, except through Allah Ta'ala, and this is of the highest meanings of Tawheed, because on the Isra'ul Meraj, according to Tabarani, that one of the things that Sayyidina Ibrahim teaches the Prophet SAW, tell your ummah to plant the ghirasul jannah, the grass of jannah, and what's the grass of jannah, ghirasul jannah, la hawra wa la quta illa billah, we say it in good times, we say it in bad times, it's actually a protection for blessings, to say Masha Allah la hawra wa la quta illa billah, and then in difficult times, la hawra wa la quta illa billah, and so this is then this supreme dua, which is really the answer of the problem of suffering, this problem and philosophy of the problem of suffering and evil, just this dua alone answers that question, because as our onama say that it's turning from a third person abstract conception of the issue to a second person direct interaction with the divine through slavehood, the Islamic solution for the problem of suffering in the world is we turn to Allah as a, it's a practical, it's practical intellect, not abstract theoretical intellect, it's that practical turn to Allah through one slavehood, and so the Prophet is answering the Salat al-Salam in his, in the time of his life of the most suffering, so that even then on the way home, because right after that Allah ta'ala sends an indication that even this particular mission to go to ta'if was not a failure, it was not even a, even a worldly political failure, because this young boy Addas, a Christian boy is sent by two of the Quraish enemies who used to abuse the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they felt a moment of sorrow, because here's taqafi, you know bani taqif, they're not even Quraishi, and they've just abused so that prideful sense kicked in, so they said go give him some fresh grapes, because they witnessed it, and then he, the boy comes Addas and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, bismillah, he says bismillah, and the boy is a pious Christian, he says your people don't say that, and he asks, they have a conversation, and he says, you know, what's your, and he says where are you from, and he says Nineveh, and he says, oh the home of the pious, Yunus ibn Matta, Jonah, son of Matthew, and he says how do you know about Yunus ibn Matta, he says he is my brother, he is a prophet like me, and by the end Addas takes the Shahada, and he's kissing the hands and feet of the best of creation, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so just the Islam of Addas is sufficient for a success of that particular mission, but on the way home also that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, some of the jinn hear the Quran, and they become Muslim, a contingent of the jinn, so the Dawah goes into the Malakut, the other world of the jinn, and that this is also in Isharah, because the Isra'un Miraj is the night of meeting the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so Allah is giving a foreshadowing, you are connected to these people, and so he doesn't know sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he's about to meet them all, right, and so this is one of the most important considerate contexts of framing our appreciation of the Isra'un Miraj, of the brilliance of Isra'un Miraj, is it's connected to the most difficult time of his blessed life sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in light of which this principle of Obudiyah, this principle of slavehood during tribulation, of realizing our slavehood during the most difficult of circumstances, whatever our low points in life, in our personal lives, and then as a collective, as an Ummah, the tribulations that we're going through as an Ummah to keep this in mind, to realize that these are connected to spiritual openings, and so we ask for Afya, the sunnah, your Afya is more easy for me, so we ask for well-being, and we take the means, the Prophet, he said sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he had exhausted all the strategies, so he took all the strategies, he took the asbab, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was never neglectful of the asbab, he took all the means at his disposal to try to deal with difficult situations, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that's from the sunnah, but when we've tried everything and now it's simply a matter of, it's out of our control, wa la hawla wa la quta illa biq, oh Allah to whom, and so realizing that, that from Obudiyah is expressing our need for Allah, this is what the Prophet did in the Sublime Dua, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, expressing his deep need for Allah, and that Abu Bakr al-Kitani, one of the companions of Imam Junaid, he said, if sahal iftikaru ilallah, sahal ghina bihi, that if sahal iftikaru ilallah, when one's impoverishment for Allah is real and authentic, sahal ghina bihi, one's enrichment through Allah will be real and authentic. This is a principle, it's a true principle of our religion, and so to the extent that we go to Allah with empty hands, oh Allah, raising our hand, that's the secret of dua, it's just the emptiness, like a beggar, the abd is a beggar for Allah, Allah my hands are empty, I'm just showing you, I have complete need, I'm in complete need of you ya Allah, all of my, sometimes you can't even enumerate your problems, you just say Allah, Allah, you know better than me, sometimes and sometimes it's so intense in the heart, you don't even need to make dua, sometimes the adab is not to do talab, because one of the secrets of isra' and miraj, the Prophet never asked for it, salallahu alayhi salam, sometimes the greatest things come with that because of, but what was in his heart, no one longed for Allah more, no one had more love and longing for Allah than him, so Allah knew the state of his heart, salallahu alayhi salam, amazing, who is our Prophet, the greatest of our saints said, we have no, we have not drops of his ocean, we cannot comprehend drops of his ocean, salallahu alayhi salam, we don't even know how much veneration he deserves, salallahu alayhi salam, so the isra' and miraj, that framing it through this principle of iftiqaru ilallahi ta'ala, and that Allah ta'ala begins in surat al-isra' which is surah bani isra'il and Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, subhanal ladhi asra bi abdihi, that glorious and exalted, so beginning with the remembrance of Allah, that the chapter begins with zikrullah, and so Allah tanzi, this is tanzi, yunazihu Allah makes tanzi of himself, because the journey is horizontally from blessed makkah to the holy land, Jerusalem, and then up past the seven heavens to past the low tree, but Allah ta'ala begins the surah subhanal ladhi, because don't think Allah has a direction, Allah is not bound by a place, Allah is not bound by time, and so this journey was not to Allah physically, the journey was physical, but it was not to Allah physically, so subhanal ladhi, like whatever we're thinking of Allah, he's far greater, and then also that just the zikrullah, that Allah makes zikr, Allah, the all of the Quran, Allah is making zikr, the whole Quran is zikrullah, but when Allah praises himself and glorifies himself, when Allah ta'ala says Allah is making zikr of himself, subhanahu ta'ala, so this is the remembrance of the eternal for the eternal, this is the remembrance of the eternal for the eternal, and then there's zikrul hadith when we say subhanallah, when we recite Quran and we're making that the temporal makes the zikr of the eternal, but even that is zikrul qadeem lil qadeem, because we can't make zikr unless Allah gives us that tawfiq, so it's still the remembrance of Allah of himself, so the whole thing is the remembrance of Allah for himself, subhanahu ta'ala, and this is why some of them said that this is Allah's praise for himself, we're simply reciting and echoing Allah ta'ala's praise for himself, so that and that the zikr is our life, this is what gives life to the heart, that the Prophet ta'ala, is like the example of the living and the dead, so the first lesson from the Surah al-Isra'at is that Allah begins with zikr, we have to begin with zikr, and in Abu Dawud, every important matter that does not begin with alhamdulillah is cut off from blessing, so beginning, so Allah begins the Surah with zikrullah, so we begin our important affairs with zikrullah ta'ala, subhanallah alhamdulillah, this is when we're in the company of the awliya of Ahlullah, it's just flowing, it's just flowing, it's just like their oxygen, so that's the goal to make it our oxygen, because oxygen gives life, just like oxygen gives life to the body, the example of the one that makes the zikr is life, it's the living and the dead, so it gives life, it's like oxygen, so the tawfiq to make zikr is from Allah, but then the fruit of it is Allah makes zikr of us, so make remembrance of me and I shall make remembrance of you, so whenever we remember Allah ta'ala, Allah remembers us in the Malil A'la amongst the angels of the highest realm, masjid al harami, ilal masjid al aqsa, for a night on a night, now the word asra means night journey, so the meaning of night is already embedded in the verb, subhanallah al adi asra, the glory be to the one that took his servant by night, so then why does Allah ta'ala say night in a night, because Allah ma say it's munaqar, it's indefinite and it shows the, because it's taqleel, so it shows that, because normally it's a journey of 40 nights, so in one night and according to the tafsir they actually say fi lahda, in one, it was in one moment of the night, so a time as it were was frozen as it were and the bed was still warm when he came back, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, ilal masjid al aqsa to the furthest mosque, that we put barakah around it, so that we show him from our sublime science, wondrous science, inna hu hu wa ssami'u al basir verily, he jalla thana'uhu is all hearing and all seeing and that Imam al-Qushayri, Rahimullah, he says, Allah sent him, subhanahu ta'ala to earth, so that the people of earth can learn from him how to worship Allah, but then he took him in the ascension to the heavens, so that the angels could learn from him the etiquette of worship, the subtle etiquettes of worship, because Allah ta'ala describes the adab of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on that night, his eyes, his eyesight neither wavered nor went out of bounds, it was fixed on one that night, so all of these glorious wonders of the heavens and earth are opening and the whole time, this is the adab of ibadah, even the angels are learning from him, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He did not turn neither to the right or left, he was not seeking a station or to be, you know, honored by creation, he was free of anything but Allah ta'ala on that night and in the hadith Allahumma that is related in the jama'ah, that the Prophet used to say sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, O Allah, all hopes and desires culminate in you, all amani, any wish that we could have, any desire a human can have, in tahat, it ends and culminates in Allah himself and then he says, in the narration, oh possessor of Afya because he's asking for Afya and he taught us to always ask for Afya sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, so his supreme tawheed of that night, his fixedness on his Lord on that night and that nam, so we know that the buraq was brought to him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the buraq is between a donkey and a mule and each step is as far as the eye can see and in one narration the buraq was a little bit rough and Jibril told it to stay still and calm because no one more noble than you has ever read on you and the buraq used to be read by the prophets peace be upon them and so it's the initial indication that he's the best of all prophets, he's then on the buraq towards al-Quds and that in Sahih Muslim on the way he passes by the grave of Hazrat Musa al-Islam and he's worshiping Allah in it and in making Sajda and that's an authentic hadith so this is one of the proofs that the prophets are alive in their graves and this night proves it as well because when he arrives then and he ties the buraq on the halqa on the ring that all the prophets tied it on and then he enters the masjid and he's given a choice the two drinks of one container of milk the other is wine and Jibril al-Islam and so he chooses the milk and Jibril al-Islam says asabt al-Fitrah you chose the Fitrah the primordial nature that every human was created on which is the capacity to recognize the Fathir the creator of the heavens and earth every human being recognizes the creator every human being recognized the creator it's only a culture or a society that covers and corrupts the Fitrah it blots out that light but that light is inherent in every single human being every Bani Adam and every Bani Adam that light is related to the light of al-astubi rabbikum because every soul was disembodied without the body al-arwah jnudu mujannada fuma ta'arafa minha ta'raf wa ma ta'akira minha the souls and spirits are regimented like soldiers at the moment of al-astu before we were placed in this world and that's why when we meet each other and there's a harmony of souls it's because there was a proximity on that day and if there's a dissonance because there was a distance on that day so the connection of souls we meet people there's like a vibe that vibe of connectedness versus there's just a it's not it's not it's not connecting that has to do with the moment of al-astu when every single soul has abd so we all have this inherent obudya this capacity to to realize our obudya because Allah ta'ala asked al-astubi rabbikum am i not your lord bala every single soul said absolutely so the the fitrah to the prophet drank milk salallahu alayhi sallam what's amazing also about milk milk is pure it comes out pure and we drink it and we drink it pure it doesn't have to be you know wine has to be like processed and fermented all these things the the milk is pure and also in the authentic hadith the sinna umar ibn khattab had dreamed that the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam with his blessed finger and milk is coming and he drinks it and when he told the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam he says knowledge knowledge so the milk represents knowledge so in the in the text of the hadith it represents fitrah primordial nature to recognize Allah's oneness in the hadith of the dream of sinna umar ibn khattab it represents knowledge and so he drank from the milk and this is the guidance of our umma because had he drank from the wine the umma would have been there would have been great misguidance in the umma this umma is guided as a collective this umma is guidance that umma community will not agree on misguidance and so uh that then he enters the masjid then 100 in the hadith 124 000 prophets alayhi sallam 124 000 prophets they're all there he meets all the prophet they pray they put him in the front now he's literally imam al mursaneen sallallahu alayhi sallam he is the prayer leader he's the imam he's the head of all the prophets and messengers alayhi sallam so think back to ta'if ilaman takiruni you know who's are you going to put me in an adu with an adu with an enemy who's going to are you going to put me to Allah ta'ala before the divine meeting you have all the prophets behind you literally behind you supporting you and they were they were awaiting him sallallahu alayhi sallam every prophet because with the covenant of al-astu the prophets made a covenant if the rasul comes that they would support him and believe in him sallallahu alayhi sallam so the the the joy to meet the one await the awaited one the paraclete the intercessor sallallahu alayhi sallam and he leads them in prayer sallallahu alayhi sallam and then jacob's ladder ma'raj is a ladder jacob's ladder which by the prophets ascend into the heavens and he goes samaa al dunya and each one jibril al-salam seeks permission and is granted permission because of the appointment and Hazrat Musa al-salam was he had to wait for the appointment and travel for the appointment to tur sinna to mount Sinai 40 days and it was a difficult difficult journey as because he was murid he was seeking Allah our prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam he's murad there's no there's he's the one sought by Allah he didn't have to go through any like Allah opened the house with jibril the roof was open jibril al-salam comes with buraq it's time because he's sought by Allah and so that uh that then the samaa dunya Hazrat uh Adam al-salam and he greets him he meets our forefather Adam the father of all of humanity second heaven the two cousins Allahumma sallallahu alayhi sallam the Yahya and Isa peace be upon them Isa is Ruh Allah so he's connected to life through spirit and Yahya's name means life their cousins so there's a there's the meaning of life in that second heaven third heaven yusuf alayhi sallam and he was given shatr al-husan he was given half a beauty half a beauty Hazrat Yusuf the women cut their hands because of Yusuf alayhi sallam but Allah our prophet was given all the beauty sallallahu alayhi sallam but Allah did not reveal it the way he did with her there's Yusuf because then no one would have been able to function so it was matched balance with his Jalal sallallahu alayhi sallam and then a fourth heaven Idris Enoch alayhi sallam we raised him to a high sublime station and then fifth heaven Harun alayhi sallam and in some hadith Harun also very handsome he had a very handsome presence a peace be upon him and sixth heaven Hazrat Musa alayhi sallam and seventh heaven Ibrahim alayhi sallam jameen resting is back on Beitan ma'mur and in the text of the hadith that 70 000 angels come out of it every day and they don't return and they're making the Tawaf the Beitan ma'mur and then Jibreel alayhi sallam up to the Sidrat al-Muntaha the furthest low tree and this is the end point of all knowledge so beyond is just indescribable and Hazrat Jibreel cannot go Jibreel alayhi sallam the supreme archangel that brings revelation down cannot go Sina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi sallam enters and now subhanallah the asr Allah is not located above but whatever it means in whatever way we can't imagine he's in the direct presence of Allah Ta'ala. Hazrat Musa alayhi sallam on Mount Sinai is Kalimullah he is spoken to directly in a mysterious way and the most pleasurable thing is to hear the the most pleasurable hearing is to hear the words of Allah Ta'ala he's Kalimullah he asked to see Allah Rabbi arini andur ilayk and Allah Ta'ala it was not destined for Hazrat Musa alayhi sallam so he lost consciousness when Allah Ta'ala ilayhi sallam manifested to the mountain he lost consciousness peace be upon him Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi sallam according to Ibn Abbas that night I saw my lord he's the only one Sallallahu alayhi sallam in this life to be honored not just hearing the speech of Allah to have vision of Allah Ta'ala this is and this is the most pleasurable experience possible and this is the supreme gift in Jannah after all the other delights are experienced and the Allah Ta'ala asks the people of Jannah Allah Mujalna min Ahlul Jannah Allah Ta'ala asks them are you pleased is there anything more they say what else could we ask where we have all these we've been forgiven we we've given us your rahmah your we have all these delights is there anything more is there anything more then the veils are lifted and the people will behold their lord but our prophet Sallallahu alayhi sallam in this life is granted it Sallallahu alayhi sallam and then he's given the prayers a Salat amazing and it's 50 and so he comes down and on the way down Hazrat Musa al-Assam has the conversation what did your lord instruct you and when he hears it's 50 he has experience dealing with an umma that doesn't comply he says ask your lord to go back intercede ask to make it lighter and so then the prophet goes back Sallallahu alayhi sallam it reduced by five each time Sallallahu alayhi sallam goes back Hazrat Musa still ask him make it lighter ask him make it lighter he keeps on going back until it's five prayers a day and then he says I'm shy to go ask to again so it's five but it counts as 50 because every good deed is multiplied times 10 so it's as if we're praying 50 times a day when we do the five the five obligatory prayers the some of the unumma of Isharab the inward they say the Hazrat Musa because the nur and the prophet's face Sallallahu alayhi sallam it's so naturally nurani but imagine after the vision of Allah the intensity it's reflecting the nur of so Hazrat Musa that's what he wanted that's what he wanted so now he's saying no go back ask for lighter he just wants to see the face the more of that light it's bringing that light reflecting the light of Allah to Allah so this is our beloved prophet Sallallahu alayhi sallam and so amazingly in the next aya wa atina musa kitab you see Hazrat Musa is connected to this amazing event. Hazrat Musa alayhi sallam has a significant role please please some blessings be upon him and we granted Moses the book the Torah and we made it a guidance for the Israelites Allah takhidu min dooni wa keela look at the what's the salient message that Allah ta'ala brings out with respect to the guidance of the Torah for Bani Israel and therefore the Quranic guidance for us do not take a wa keel other than Allah and our prophet go back to Ta'if he was the perfect exemplar of tawakku ala Allah Sallallahu alayhi sallam and some of the ancient scriptures said that the Bani Israel had was Sammaituka al mutawakil I named you al mutawakil that's one of his names according to Abdullah Ibn Amr ibn al-Aas in the authentic hadith that the Bani Israel and the Israel they had this description Sammaituka al mutawakil what's the the meaning that Allah brings out of the Torah the at the heart of the Torah for Bani Israel Allah takhidu min dooni wa keela don't take a wa keel other than me so tawakil and tafweed wa ufawidu amri il Allah and this is what the prophet did in every event of the Seerah Sallallahu alayhi sallam but especially at this time right before Sura'an Miraj he gave his affair to Allah wa ufawidu amri il Allah and and one of the great imams of our tradition Abu Amr ibn Nujayd Abu Amr ibn Nujayd was one of the great great shiuch of Nisapur of the third century Imam Zahabi praises him he says he was sheikh muhadith imam you know he was a major major master of our tradition ibn nujayd the rahimullah was once asked by a student what is tawakil what does it mean to take Allah as your wakil and he said the very least of it is to have a beautiful beautiful opinion of Allah it begins with it begins with the beautiful opinion of Allah Ta'ala and another great master of Nisapur of that time Abu Atman al-Hiyari he says he says consigning your affair to Allah is to give what you do not know back to the knower is to give what you do not understand back to the omniscient and he says tafweed consignment is the precursor to rida contentment and the rida is the supreme door to Allah rida is the supreme door to Allah Ta'ala and so this principle of tafweed Allah ta'ala in the third this is monadah oh progeny because the bani israel are being addressed here oh progeny of those that we carried with Noah so connecting again Allah is connecting everything to earlier prophets just like on that night the prophet met nuj amongst all the prophets peace be upon them the progeny that we carried with nuj in the ark in the hukana abdan shakura abd again subhanaladhi asrah bi abdihi in the hukana abdan shakura it's amazing abudia slavehood and verily nuj alaihi salam was a an ever grateful slave abdan shakura shakur is higher than shakr shakur is grateful shakur is intensely grateful and the mufasereen they say about huzzat nuj alaihi salam if you eat hamid Allah and if you drink hamid Allah and if you wear hamid Allah whenever he ate something he said alhamdulillah whenever he drank something alhamdulillah whenever he donned a garment alhamdulillah again it's the oxygen of the people who know Allah it's the oxygen of the people who know Allah and that shukr that hakeemat hirmidhi said al shukr ta'alluq al qalb bil mun'im al shukr ta'alluq al qalb bil mun'im shukr is for the heart to be connected to the giver and this is what the prophet that night sallallahu alayhi sallam mazaq al basur wa ma taqaa his eyes didn't even waiver they didn't go astray because ta'alluq al qalb bil mun'im shukr is the heart to be connected to the giver and so ultimately that's what the salat is the salat is the expression of shukr the prayer is the expression of shukr what was the prophet given that night sallallahu alayhi sallam salat what's our ibadah that encapsulates all of these meanings a salat it's it encapsulates all of these meanings it's the way we show gratitude to Allah it's the way we trust Allah it's the way we consign our affair to Allah it's the way we supplicate to Allah it's the way we express our slavehood to Allah every virtue the way we what's the translation of it the salat and the prophet said sallallahu alayhi sallam you see the my supreme joy the delight of my heart the delight of my eye the same eye that saw Allah the same eye that saw Allah the the the deepest joy of that blessed eye sallallahu alayhi sallam in the prayer so it's a sunnah for us not just to pray but iqam at the salat and iqam at the salat is to work at it until it's the delight of our heart that's a paradigm shift that's a paradigm shift it's not just taking a break from it's not just putting a pause on dunya to do this obligation this is like just get dunya out of the way what else is left hurry up just get it out of the way and the heart goes to its delight and the the qurta'in this is a we should we should we should seek this aspire that the delight of our heart is the prayer and therefore by extension any remembrance of Allah ta'ala and that one of the great early imams yahya ibn mu'ad al razi he says whoever's joy is in the service of Allah all things will be joyed to serve that person and whoever's ever the delight of their eye is Allah Himself the eyes of every single thing will find their delight in looking at that person that's our prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam his joy was to serve Allah all of creation is so what an honor for us today to do anything small for the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam what an honor what a joy any small khidmah we can do for him sallallahu alayhi sallam because his joy was serving Allah and then think of the joy of seeing the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam think of the joy because his joy was seeing Allah is the delight of his eye was Allah so the delight of eye of creation is to see the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam and that's in the greatest the greatest of the umma they Allah gives them vision of the prophet in the dream sallallahu alayhi sallam it's a true dream or if it's seen for someone and some even have it the ruh can have it while awake so there's wonders of this so we ask Allah to make us realized in these meanings we ask Allah that we fulfill the the way of our prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam in our own limited weak context that Allah ta'ala gives us the tawfiq to be true heirs of his way to be true it to be true people of it tiba of the Rasul sallallahu alayhi sallam true wholehearted deep following and emulation of the blessed messenger sallallahu alayhi sallam outwardly in the way we are inwardly in the way we are sallallahu alayhi sallam we ask Allah to give us the tawfiq to make khidmah of Allah and his messenger we ask Allah ta'ala to give us the tawfiq that the kurut and a'in that the delight of our eyes and the delight of our souls is in Allah and his messenger sallallahu alayhi sallam


talk dirty to me sticking in it's a little hole there oh lucky there boys lucky there boys she's talking dirty to me we got us a problem in there look at that oh she's not happy oh she's not happy oh baby look at that there we go the big haunt your mama eat your mama hot boy come over here to the old box gotta sniff the box get the box to sniff and see if it wakes you up there you go that's a big one this video is brought to you in part by true tech tools quality tools essential support oh look at that guys we're on a walking cooler again check it out so we're here because it's not cooling correctly it's supposedly about 50 degrees so the way this one here is laid out we've got one refrigerant line coming down from the ceiling it splits to the two different I noticed it looks like the liquid line is wet usually not a good sign yeah it's cold it's solenoid I can feel the vibration and then it's warm that means our thermostat must be calling we're in a 30 degree range here not a good sign that that liquid line is cold like that maybe having an issue with the refrigerant let's go see always like to get up here see if we can see how dirty this is which we can see it does have some hair on it that is usually from cardboard boxes getting cut open inside here you see we got heaters on it because this is a beer cooler so we will run it down to low 30s and then we have to use usually need a heated defrost to melt the ice off because the natural defrosting doesn't usually work very well because it's too cold let's go and find the condenser which I'm pretty sure it's outside on the ground a little oil on that probably nice walking beer cooler not running close a little dirty inside here we've got fairly close on time we got a green light so that's good I guess contactors not pulled in that's bad I guess that's your pressure switch is our issue that's about the only safety besides the high pressure let's go ahead and pop that cover and take a peak see if got voltage on it open got a pressure issue solenoid not working or what's going on let's see what our suction pressure is and see what we got here sight glass looks like it's liquidy in there I can be deceiving though okay so we know that we've got four pounds area three four pounds on the suction side so we've got ourselves about a hundred and probably ten pounds error five ten somewhere up all part let's go inside I swear that solenoid valve feels like it's powered let's go in there and grab the amp meter and see if it's got any average radiating around it so let's go ahead and put her on and roll what we're doing is we're mad the magnetic field is all we're picking up here when we open up the clamp that opens it so that it can sense the magnetic field around it all right so but the open clamp and we are getting the average there back out here at the condenser so a lot easier than that jump cool pack I was just working on wait a minute now why does just come on let's kill power this thing because that will kill power to the solenoid in there all of that over to the disconnect that I don't see there we go walk in cooler drive cooler am I on the wrong one that's what I'm wondering this would suck if I'm on the wrong one ah dude I'll tell you what wouldn't that suck from the wrong one again because there's a cooler here so you got beer walk-in cooler but we got to beer walking coolers tell you what guys I think I had a lapse in judgment here this happens sometimes I mean you know when you put things over here that you would figure right there's your drive let's put that way over here this is where no logic comes involved and this is drive through walk-in drive through which that luckily I had labeled that here long ago so theoretically this is probably the one we actually need let's go down here see what we're looking at that's solenoid goodness gracious yep we're on the wrong one all right so it's weird up on that huh we didn't race a lot of time so what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and open this back up we're gonna get this thing running again this is the actual walk-in beer cooler which is on the middle of the building that is the drive-thru you know you assume that because it's close to the drive-thru so luckily we didn't waste too much time but you know what I'll leave it in here because I make mistakes every now and again it happens so we went ahead and shut it down we got this all back together let's go ahead and look in here you can see we've got a catastrophic issue in here and this didn't just happen I'm sorry I bought Gary to you that freakin valve backers leaking I've seen it time and time again somebody's already put a brass cap on it compressors nice and hot we already got a Jack Henry freakin hose there on that which means we probably had a major issue at one time or another on that sight glass we've seen earlier that it was flashing really bad and pressure wise we ain't got squad on this stupid thing we must have a major leak we're gonna go ahead and check our high side pressures and if it's that low you may just jump right to nitrogen because there's not a whole lot to work with here and I'm wondering why the pressure switch it shut it down wondering was it running in a negative somebody had just replaced that pressure switch it looks like not too horribly long though that's a pretty shiny hose and the tag is still on it I'm gonna grab a leak detector see if we can find a leak let's go ahead and turn it back on now that's not shutting off beyond me it's peeing enough through to make it make it work I'm gonna grab the leak detector see if we can find a leak all right stratus go find the leak you only got 10 less than 10 pounds of pressure to find it maybe asking for a lot usually it's that stupid cap yeah I don't think we got enough pressure I mean it's good my gosh it ain't that good 10 pounds of pressure that's that's asking for a lot but we could well even if I tried to run it that's the other thing why the fans doesn't have a fan cycle does it nope no fan cycle control just got a headmaster right back here in the back left how's our oil looking we pretty low on that you can see an oil in there that's not a good idea huh do we pump it up with nitrogen or do we throw some refrigerant in it and hope for the best so I'm gonna judge my calls so we got eight on suction 97 on high I went ahead and bled everything through my yellow all the way up to here that where there's nothing in the manifold closed off my liquid or my yellow line we're gonna go ahead and open it up and equalize but inside to the other so we got 85 pounds on it at least looks that way so we go into the cooler what happens to walk through the door that so we must have an issue in here somewhere that's getting worse talk to me baby oh it's working super efficient right now it's not costing you a nickel but yeah you're you got another leak somewhere so we're looking see if we can narrow it down the contaminated box like this normally I just air it out and come back at it yeah if we're in this box here and it's getting stupid over here which tells me it's probably in this vicinity we may peel back the layers of the potato there talk to me talk dirty to me sticking in it's a little hole there oh lucky there boys lucky there boys she's talking dirty to me yep yep we got us a problem in there look at that oh she's not happy oh she's not happy oh baby look at that there we go the big haunt your mama eat your mama hot yep oh she ain't happy found the leak boys least one of them make sure this other unit don't have the same issue get up here in the old sniffaroo the boy you come over here to the old box guys sniff the box get the box to sniff and let's see if it wakes you up there you go that's a big one I guarantee that's a big in but you look at that my question is is it leaking right there on that piece very good possibility okay we got some blazing hot water here that should only take a short duration of time to melt because I mean this water was hot that's a Hoover goober's air somebody didn't know how to braze holy mackerel look at that hard look at that that is an abomination to pipe fitters male man alright so I think they might be in this distributor too because she started getting a little dumb but you come down here to the burger pickers are us I thought the burger pickers is going to be a bigger one let's go ahead and just drench it down with liquid solid liquid oh yeah right there it is worst possible place location you could ask for right in the freaking distributor tube stick a right in your old pooper and just waller it out a little bit all right just like what we did over there when I was an idiot looked at the wrong one we're going to come over here and foul that off which we've already done did it's good and kick it on I've got my manifold shut didn't like that very well but it'll get over it so we're good let this thing pump down get all that liquid out of there can't leave it open because then it might possibly go through the compressor into the refrigerator and I'm trying to save what we got here now keep in mind it's valve off so it's not gonna go nowhere but it is now sending power into that solenoid so that we can relieve that pressure on that the other side of the solenoids that's reader core out of there okay here's that suction port is talking about this where a lot of times installers will pull vacuum on the system because it's usually isolated from those valves so what I've been doing and you kind of see me do it on this last one I'm gonna try to relieve the pressure off of these because you know they could be want to pull up so I'm kind of doing is pulling them down and kind of back up I'm just trying to take the tension out of it because this could really really really go bad it really could this these capillary tubes are in horrible shape though they got a crap load of vegetables in here which surely is not helping it I think it boys and girls that's about as good as you're gonna get it a little spot right there I don't like think that's as good as you're gonna get it prep is everything you see those pits and stuff in there I'm real leery about running any nitrogen I don't want any extra pressure on this at all I've already tried to take any stress off this all I'm gonna do is just get in there it's gonna get really hot it's gonna get really hot so and then nail that turkey we're just gonna use generic silver solder 40% that's what we use and the white paste which is the blue label stuff we're gonna get in there we're gonna we're gonna paint that baby I want everything that's to have that flux on it so that hopefully you know it cleans it as it melts all right so we're just using my rosebud tip pretty much I'm gonna put most of my heat down here on the bottom I'm gonna hope and pray that we don't start blasting apart because it does I pulled it off the floor where we can get it but it's not a good thing okay that I'm gonna hit the back and picking up the front a little bit I can see how that center I'd rather very boys and girls I think that's it worked out a lot better than what I figured so we're gonna let that naturally cool we're not gonna get stupid up in that far as my TXV it's not really that hot heat rises so I mean I'm touching that you say that's my bare skin my sprayer here still this was hot water but probably ain't so hot no more yeah we'll just keep that cooled down down here at the bottom don't look bad for an amateur got all the way around for as filthy dirty as it was I think we got in there pretty decent all right I'm being a dirty dog and running through the manifold I am a hat guys never mind the fact that I've got all the big blue hoses I this thing was completely closed other than just take a pressure off of it alright 40 some pounds and 90 pounds I think got what we need here let's go inside see if we got any leaky leaky all right so we're gonna stop right there looking good got the last pressure or the less push all the way down there found that off not too bad so we get the turn tables here and get wiggity wiggity whack yeah nice thought I might have overcharged it but what I'm seeing overcharging the net problems here in a month when it starts to get warmer looking pretty good so far 190 area 13 pounds it must only had about a half a pound left in it standing before the cycle ass down here better to have a little extra than none at all like so we'll recheck out later the terminals up in there had to put a little jumper in there except when they give you doesn't fit right in there got the clocks at the same way we have total of 45 minutes every eight hours whatever it on there it goes pressure should come up and kick on so we'll go ahead and let her run for a bit and I think we're about done alright let's see where we're at here already at 32 degrees that's good like everything's picked up the thermostat was set prior to us doing whatever last time everything's back to normal well guys hope you enjoyed the video we'll see more like it you know what to do later
