No, I think it's not from him. We got spammed from someone using a
Microsoft "look alike" address with an attachment that my sweetheart
opened, and it's been downhill since then. . .

Yes, that's a blessing!

Clearly not! My anti virus software normally picks these things up,
but this time it didn't happen.

Ah, but I have SO MUCH to do as it is! Tomorrow, I'm re routing the
intake system and installing the serpentine belt that will bring my
truck's supercharger online. Then there's the ongoing investigation
into "home brew" wood gas fuel I've been toying with for some time
because my "ethanol from sawdust" interest has turned out to be on the
shady side of legal here in British Columbia--though it would be
considerably easier (and likely less expensive) to modify my fuel system
to run ethanol rather than compressed wood gas.
I have an organic Rankine cycle engine project that sits undone. I
have an interesting idea for a Siemens style fluidyne engine that would
probably work nicely as a heat pump, and it too, sits as a collection of
parts in my garage. Window quilts for this winter have yet to be
finished and installed because of the all too human tendency to neglect
tasks needed to keep warm in the winter when it's so ridiculously hot
outside and the forests around B.C. are burning. . .
For most of the summer, I've been battling against this nasty little
plant known locally as "horsetail" that grows vigorously in the poor
excuse for soil that covers my property. I have a retaining wall that
needs building, as well as planting beds for next spring's garden. My
sweetheart would like a pond in the back yard, but in the mean time our
fruit trees have been faring poorly. (Dead soil, dry conditions and
insect pests!)
My compost bin is an utter failure that seems to breed fruit flies much
faster than it's producing good compost, so I'm ready to break down and
buy a load of decent top soil as a means to expediting the soil building
process on my lot.
On top of this, I have to work, maintain a relationship with my
loving wife, contribute to the function and service of our church, AND
raise children. (This also includes all of the ridiculous socialization
training that goes with equipping young boys to work out their problems
without killing one another in the process--meetings with teachers,
principals, the school psychologists and other, irate parents!)
At the risk of sounding like I'm complaining about what is a better
life than most of humanity dreams of living, I simply don't need the
hassle of learning a new operating system! That's why people like me
continue to use Windows--it's a known set of problems!
Ok, I'm done with my ranting now. We can go back to talking about
biofuels. . .
