Very good point to be made. The materials necessary to process WVO into Biodiesel immediately make your garage a HAZMAT site and make you subject to all EPA and Air Quality ordinances. Methanol is a VOC, Level 1, Caustic Soda is deadly and requires special handling [lye, common name] So it also pre

A lawnmower without a governor is a tough to use lawnmower, although I suppose you could just set it to run flat out all the time but then you're wasting fuel. It'd be hard for me to say without laying my hands on it and the parts breakouts aren't any real help, you'd need to see one. Maybe l

How is it that so many dog owners seem to be deaf to the relentless, incessant barking of their dogs. Coupla hours ('bout 6 AM) before I got up this morning, a "small" dog somewhere nearby began barking - a shrill fast-paced bark. In spite of many years around jet engines, my hearing is still

I believe the idea was to call out Trent here and perhaps spur on action. I also am waiting on a part, the 90 degree heater hose that lives under the AC compressor on my '78 240D. Fred had suggested it was in bad shape and I should replace it. Then the little hose from the water pump to the ther

Besides if you apply manure after the plants are growing you can burn them, thats just dumb. If bacteria from poop were instant killers we'd all be dead, the human race would never have moved from being hunter/gatherers. Manure is the basis for ALL farming. Manure gets spread on fields everywhe

It's funny, as my former employers, both right wingers, one more so than the other, played into this panic in 2008. Since they both have a fair amount of disposable income, they were buying up rounds of every possible type and size that fit their large collection of firearms. Our postal carrier
