So, how will Freepers be celebrating Earth Day 2017? Personally, I will be clearing an area in the backyard to set up for a compost pile and organic vegetable garden. But first, I need to burn the tires that are there; and I'm thinking that my used motor oil will make an excellent accelerant.
LOL...I have done that, also painted fence with used motor oil. I used to get extra from a dealer who did oil changes...
Learned this from a farmer Father-In-Law...
It definetly works. Preservative and repells bugs in the ground.
In the Adirondack Mountains (probably elsewhere) it use to be common to stain board and batten or other wood cabins with gasoline. 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of commercial stain, of coarse you have to be very careful in the process, until it dried. Slightly darker aged look with character immediately.
It’s big, black, heavy and very fast! It will get an honest 15 MPG on the highway if you keep your foot out of it. I’m going to add more 100 LL avgas than usual just to celebrate Erf day!
Gonna go up to the mine to the overlook and watch them Caterpillars tearing up, raping, defiling, violating, and generally brutalizing Gaia.
That should hold me for another year.
Yeah! My kind of car!
Turn on every light in the house (with all of my blinds open so the neighbors can see), heat it up nice and warm (we’re in a cold snap), and use my chain saw to cut down some trash trees in the yard. Oh yes, and grill some chicken outside, too.
