For the last 5 years or so I have gotten 2 gallons of ethanol-free gas, put premix in it, and aliquoted into a couple dozen old quart (0.946L) Trufuel cans. Put a date on it, and voila! I have enough to last me over a year. Pretty economical.

It's a real shame no one makes doodads that will adapt most batteries to most implements. Seems like there would be a market. Or you could do what I did a couple weeks back. My old Stihl gave up the ghost after 15 years, so I replaced it with the exact same model. Pretty windy little bastard. I have a 10' gutter extension for it that is about to come out of the barn attic. Need to be careful though. Red wasps love to make nests in it.

nah, you can just drop it and scoot it into place with your foot.

What happened to your fire pit?

Serious question here, Mike. You started this thread 3 or 4 days ago. Have you found anything yet? Until you have gone out and spent your hard-earned money, why don't you try a 2 by 4 or 4 by 4 chock? It may be a pain in the ass, but from an efficiency and cost-effectiveness stand point you will spend less time, energy, and money doing that than you will ever be able to do buying one. Please explain your logic. How can it be a pain in the ass? It is a goddam piece of wood. In a trailer you will be using it on. you have to move a 10-oz piece of wood 3 feet, twice per operation. Yes, you will have to bend down to place and remove it. I can see how that would be hard for a fat-ass like I used to be. But you seem to have good ROM. I do not buy the pain in the ass argument. That is not anywhere near the real truth of why you won't use one. Tell you what - tell me how long a piece of 4 by 4 you need and I will mail it to you this week. Pressure treated or plain kiln-dried. I will even drill a hole in it and supply a lanyard of your choice of length. If you choose kiln-dried I will even spray paint that motherfucker with a metal-look green paint or clearish epoxy. You can choose from cotton/synthetic cord, light chain, or my personal favorite, used lamp cord. How could this possibly be a pain in the ass? Edited: No, I will NOT sand any rough edges or corners.

How about using a 2X4 or 4X4 scrap as a chock? You could splurge and drill a hole in it and have a tether so it wouldn't get lost. Speaking of helium, you could tie a balloon to it to remind you that your wagon is chocked, and which wheel is chocked. You can buy fancy wheel chocks. You can grab a nearby stick and use it for a chock. Or a cinderblock or even a brick. Chock, chock, chock. Elegant, yet simple.

Don't change it. It really doesn't make any difference in consumer (non-commercial) vehicles. You can drive newer cars for years without changing oils. Sure there are outliers and anecdotal reports of engine failures, just as there are certifiable laboratory results of oil degradation and/or engine wear as a result. But in a universe of dwindling fossil fuels and in a universe where we need energy for data centers a hell of a lot more than we need to make more oil for a questionable oil change for a hobby car, the point at where an oil change is needed versus just a coin toss, the sensible thing would be to leave it be and drive it.

Easy mistake to make. He actually does live in western Virginia.

Now that the center stand issue has resolved, I moved on to the problem of the newly moved pipe melting my soles. I wrapped it with DEI and I guess it will work, the temp as measured by IR is ~300 F. I am open to using some flashing to nigger rig a shield, but there may be better solutions. 2 Bros 4-into-1. A gremlin that showed up last year's NeXXT was the speedo became intermittent. Should not be a big deal since I sport a radar detector, but with my wonky fuel gauge its becomes more of an issue. I checked the harness above the transmission yetsredat and cleaned the white connector up a bit, hope that helps. I may do a ground check on the dash over the next couple weeks but time is becoming a luxury. Joe, the hose I procured from you last year seems to be doing the trick. Thanks! The bike is still on the rack, but after 6 cycles of running till full temp is reached everything is dry. Mike, the fan has cut on every time at 225 F with IR pointed at center of radiator. I will still leave the switch, 'cause every time I notice it I think of you and get a woody. I am going to take the GIVI top case and mount off, I am going to attempt to do this with side bags only. Bill, I am turning over a new leaf. 70 pounds. How does that sound?

Dumbass. He's in VA. Visqueene and duck tape.

Is this doctor an MD? Or a naturopath, or what? What do you mean by three he carries? Is this guy a chiropractor? Who in the hell puts people on Pepcid? That's like a second generation histamine receptor drug. There are so many much better OTC products. Is omeprazole or the like contraindicated for you? (doubtful but possible with a hypochondriac) Have you stopped using Pepcid? Did it work? Dude, move into the 90's. If a 2-week course of one of the newer drugs doesn't help you need more medical help than a strip mall chiropractor. And methylene blue? Let's think about that. It has been researched for certain specific uses, and they are all peer-reviewed published articles. If you see any claims that do not cite published, peer-reviewed data, then you are being sold hooey. FWIW, we have used sterile, USP MB in some formulations in nuclear pharmacy as an adjunct, so I do have experience. I like the way the article Carlos cited said "May" in front of every claim instead of giving measured statistics. In fairness, he presented it specifically avowing endorsement Fucking snake oil salesmen.

Cal, I was right, sort of. The original nut was not a Ny-lock. It is a U-nut. Never seen one before. Just cleaned it up and it's good as new!

Never mind. I was installing it on the shock absorber bottom bracket bolt, when it actually goes on the RH side center stand bolt. Duh.

Does this generator have the "SwRI" logo on it? You may want to research that.
