I think I heard one, distant soft roll of thunder Saturday morning and we had a few sprinkles that didn't even wet the roadways. Yesterday was sunny but humid with a few clouds but no rain. Looks like today will be similar. Maybe if I go out and start my projects the rain will quickly begin. We need some rain around here. Lawns are drying up and running sprinklers doesn't help ... just a waste of water. We had over 6" here on Saturday. Yesterday morning loud thunder and lots of rain. Off and on throughout the day. Today's forecast is 100% chance of thunderstorms throughout the day. I've got a new bug deflector for the truck. Hopefully it'll dry up long enough to install it. https://www.carid.com/images/avs/ite...d-oncar-03.jpg Pretty. The whole front of my camper is covered with bugs. It'll probably take an hour to clean up. Today we do the beartooth highway. We've done it before but this time we have a dashcam. Sounds like fun. I put this stuff on my rig this spring. Seems to work very well at making bugs easy to get off. https://www.amazon.com/Corrosion-Tec... 0_&dpSrc=srch Where are you? We are in Glacier today. Going to violent Canada tomorrow. Waterton. Forecast for some rain tomorrow. I'm home. Justan is out running around burning up our non-renewable resources and contributing to global warming. Just got back from an all day Red Bus tour, to a busted air conditioner. Were you able to climb the steps to the concessions at the top? The air is pretty rare up there. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Don't know about that. There'll be a bumper crop of corn this year. I was out playing in the snow earlier today. Global warming, really? They using corn for diesel now? Hereabouts it's more like global wetting than warming. How was the FMCA rally? Dunno what's in biodeisel? Biodiesel can be produced from straight vegetable oil, animal oil/fats, tallow and waste cooking oil. The process used to convert these oils to Biodiesel is called transesterification. 'Transesterification' sounds like something that could leave you very sterile if not careful. But I've heard of folks making biodiesel in their garage with old McDonalds french fry grease. Rally was good. Didn't get to all the seminars I planned to attend. Entertainment by Ricky Nelsons twin sons was very good. Others were ok. Lots of venders and lots of new and used RVs for sale. FMCA now allows towables to join. If you are interested go to fmca.com for information. So I'm looking at the Chapter By-laws for the Dogwood Chapter of the FMCA, and look what I see: ARTICLE III - MEMBERS 5.A member must own a qualifying motor coach (motorhome) or at least 1/3 interest in a qualifying motor coach (motorhome) in order to vote or hold office in this chapter. 6.The term “qualifying motor coach,” is defined as a self-propelled, completely self-contained vehicle that contains all the conveniences of a home, including cooking, sleeping, and permanent sanitary facilities, and in which the driver’s area is directly accessible in a walking position from the living quarters. The terms motor coach and motorhome may be used interchangeably. Maybe the word hasn't gotten down to the chapters yet? |

We just came from the FMCA rally in Gillette. Crikey...you drove your bus from Florida to Wyoming to attend an RV rally? Why? Hell, man, maybe Greyhound will hire you to drive a real cross country bus. We're flying out to North Dakota in September with stops in Montana and South Dakota, where I'll catch up with an old college friend we used to call Der Fliegende Holländer, because he is of Dutch ancestry and flew a small,light plane. He actually is a retired dentist who now lives on the farm he inherited from his folks. I spent a week on that farm about 55 years ago. Hopefully, we'll be avoiding RV venues. Cooler and dryer there. 1700 other rv's attended the rally too. If I were heading towards somewhere where 1700 RVers were gathering, I'd head in the opposite direction. ![]() So would they. ![]() No ****. |

I think the most talented member of that Nelson family was Sharon Kristin Harmon, Ricky's ex-wife, who died earlier this year. She was a painter. |

- show quoted text - "If you and herring show up at the same RV Jamboree, does everyone else'sÂ* head explode?" snip... I'd certainly recommend that they lock up the washrooms. If two hillbillys like The John and Justine showed up at the same time it could overload the facilities. |

But I've heard of folks making biodiesel in their garage with old McDonalds french fry grease. The electrician who worked at the country club burned cooking oil in his truck. The process was not that complicated, mostly just filtering and some alcohol as I recall but I never saw the thing done. I think he had a heater in the truck too. |

After he drove away from a visit with us, I could smell french fries. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
