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. snerk I have no idea what "machine" the asshole is talking about here...do you? Here's a hint. Your sleep apnea machine. |

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 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. |

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! |

I suppose it'd make a decent beach anchor. |

Then why the alleged concealed carry permit? |
