I've always been able to think of additional things to do with my
wife in a hotel room!


Harry buys her a package of Hebrew Nationals. That gives her something
to do while he's hooked to his machine catching some shut-eye.

I have no idea what "machine" the asshole is talking about here...do you?



Here's a hint. Your sleep apnea machine.

By the time Herring got off a shot, the bear would be eating him...to

I imagine we have all accumulated a 12 ga flare gun or 3 over the
years. (the boaters anyway). I am thinking about buying a few packs of
the pepper rounds, just for a less than lethal way of dealing with out
of line people.



I'm sure you encounter lots of people like that, and the flare gun will
help you stand your ground. Hey, it's Florida...what could go wrong?

I used to have one 25 yrs ago on my old '27 ft. Chris Craft, but unfortunately it slipped out of my hand and ended up on the bottom of Lake Carlyle.

Any of you who have ever depended on a small home generator during an


extended power outage will appreciate the fact that gasoline can


become difficult to obtain. This is further compounded by the


problems of storing ethanol gas for any length of time. After


hurricane Charlie here in SW Florida my neighbor and I took turns


driving 50 miles round trip every night for over a week to buy


generator gas.




I just found a web site selling propane and natural gas conversion


kits for small gasoline generators if anyone is interested. I have


no personal interest (or experience) with their products.




http://www.propane-generators.com/



Cool! I'd never thought about that, but it makes good sense for the little Generac I use with the


camper. Then I wouldn't have to carry three fuels, diesel, propane, and gasoline. Will definitely


look into that.




Propane is only attractive if you have a bulk tank in the yard.




Those 20 and 30 pound tanks are pretty expensive to fill.




The perfect system is natural gas if you can get it.




Well, I'm already carrying four 20lb tanks on the fiver, Not having to carry gasoline may make it


worthwhile. The tanks run me $17 or so to fill. Don't know how long one of those would last on the


generator. But, we'd be using it only when roughing it somewhere, like on the side of a rode while


riding to Alaska.




The 17# tank is about like 3 gallons of gasoline, give or take.


You get less bang for the gallon on propane so it is probably a bit


less.




Well, at $3.79/gal, there's not a whole hell of a lot of difference. The convenience might be worth

it. But, I can suffer a lot of inconvenience for $380, or whatever!


That's less than an airplane ticket!

So I should trash the .357 magnum? It's a S&W model 28, and heavy as hell. I suppose it'd make a
decent beach anchor.

The only places I was ever shot at were in DC or PG County


In this country, I've only been shot at in the south. I've never had any
problems anywhere I've gone in DC or PG County, and I've been all over
both. One of my clients is a major funder of housing rehab projects in
Anacostia, so I am frequently there to get info for website feature
stories. Maybe it was your attitude.
