  1. The damage I am referring to is due to the high amount of moisture absorbed by the ethanol. The higher the percentage the more damage will be done. Currently here in the States most filling stations have a Min. of 10%. The specific damage for 2/4 cycle equipment I can mention is destruction of fuel lines and carburetors becoming "gummed up":thumbdown:. Here in Florida with our high humidity nearly year round these problems are chronic and continue to plague many service tech's on a daily basis. Although I have never heard that: "once on the non ethanol there is no going back to regular pump fuel without a carb refurb", my question is if one has a choice, why would one want to use any fuel with ethanol in the first place? At least for my equipment it is non-ethanol fuel or nothing at all. easy-lift guy
  2. Looks good and nice contrast with the colors since you were limited with the types of material you had to work with. easy-lift guy
  3. Nice fence, clean up of the damaged area, might I suggest attaching a reflector to the boulder as an additional night time viewing aid for traffic, at least that way the owner may be covered from a insurance claim if someone in the future plows into the boulder. easy-lift guy
  4. Try to use non-ethanol fuel when ever possible. It should be available at Marinas. It may cost more but the damage that ethanol does to your 2/4 cycle equipment is far more expensive. easy-lift guy
  5. The repo business is very hard here in the states and how much of the video was true is very hard to say, since it is a reality series based here in the USA. easy-lift guy
  6. Thanks, you made my point better than I thought you would. easy-lift guy
  7. No need to apologize that is an additional sign of weakness, IMHO. You have stated earlier on that you have led a sheltered life and that has been of your own making I am sure. Some folks are willing to help defuse a situation and stand up for what they believe is right, still others are willing to do nothing or blame someone or something else for what has happened or not happened. I believe you would choose the latter only because it suits your comfort level. Nothing personal since that's what I believe. FYI the reference about crawling out from under a rock in a cave relates to having lead a sheltered life. easy-lift guy
  8. Sounds more likely under a rock and in a cave as far as sheltered is concerned:001_rolleyes:. easy-lift guy
  9. Ouch, I wish you a speedy recovery, Sir. easy-lift guy
  10. His jurisdiction was being in the right place at the right time. Felix, here is a what if. Supposed during the altercation the conductor suffered a heart attack or perhaps a stroke due to the verbal abused being dished out by the 'victim". Who would be the responsible party than, the "victim" or the one person who stopped the madness in it's tracks, I bet the 'big guy" even new first aid as well. The only other persons who had a pair were the folks that assisted the "big guy" detrain the "victim". I hope you never get taken advantage of in your life time, I suspect there will be no "big guy" to assist you from a legal or moral standpoint. easy-lift guy
  11. Wishing you a speedy recovery, missing your conversations in the Chat room. easy-lift guy
  12. Good for you!, I will expect a copy sent to me by pm for further review. It is possible that this condition normally exist within your family and I would be careful about securing medical opinions from the net other than from an informational standpoint. You MD or a Second opinion should be the final say when it comes to your health. easy-lift guy
  13. Lots of interesting feedback so far. Other than putting all of this information together in a palatable format, which I believe you will do:thumbup1:. There have been many that have said they would buy a copy with out knowing the price. Your price point could be the hardest part of this endeavor. Many factors will need to be considered for the bottom line price, not to mention the cost for your emotional Capital investment as well. I also believe this can and may become bigger than some folks know:001_cool:, based on the comments posted. I look forward to the finish product's since I believe your endeavor will soon take upon a life of it's own, under your control of course! All the best easy-lift guy
  14. So the real question not answered with this thread was, has you Blood pressure returned to normal?. When was the last time you had a complete physical?. Could be more than Coffee causing your higher Blood pressure, although getting off the bean could be a step in the right direction. easy-lift guy
  15. Since DDT has been banned in the United States since 1972 I believe this product "supposedly" or otherwise is not responsible for decline in the population of the species for New Mexico. easy-lift guy
  16. I was refering to the Sunshine State, Florida, USA:thumbup1: easy-lift guy
  17. On the other side of the pond we have 13 different species of bat. Mainly found roosting under low bridges, and in attics of homes and the like. I have had 4 encounters in 20 years and all have been in palm Trees between the Palm from and the trunk, I don't count the Thousands out side eating all of the swine Mosquito's and the enjoying my citrus fruit as much as I do!. Small price to pay since Man made efforts to control insect populations are not enough most of the time. easy-lift guy
  18. I receive at least One a month. Some are more creative than others but all get the Cyber Men treatment in the end! easy-lift guy
  19. Good point, Steve. I believe it depends on how one has been brought up and how one defines right from wrong. I personally would have come to the aid of someone in distress and have, but than again I am the local President of the "big guy" club here in Florida:thumbup1:. Just doing my part to help deal with so many "victims" on this side of the pond. easy-lift guy
  20. Was the kid who was ready willing and more than able to give the ticket conductor a VICTIM!, Are you kidding me?. would it had been better if the " big guy" was the conductor and removed the kid with the help of the older gent helping him do his job?. The "big guy" IMHO was lending a hand and solving a problem that was not going to be resolved on it's own. I for one am over the Victim Mentality that has acted a a Pox upon society for far to long! easy-lift guy
  21. My best Christmas present was another year of good health and Christmas dinner with my Mother, family. I could not ask for anything more. easy-lift guy
  22. That is the same model I have and it works well, Any good office supply store should have this in stock. easy-lift guy
  23. Merry Christmas, A Happy New Year. easy-lift guy
  24. High Noon, Gary Cooper is my vote. All of the other movies and actors were also great as well, From an American point of view!. easy-lift guy
