This is what I'll use in SuperDawg... using a GM case would require the addition of a SYE, which runs about $450... better to use the Jeep xfr case.

Was missing a space between the Url and end img. From: "Jim Blair" Yesterday I finally went up to my cabin to see how things looked (my cabin came through fine. We had a couple branches and 1 dead tree fall on the property nowhere near the cabin) 3 major sections of the road were damaged and there was almost 3 feet of mud that someone with a tractor scraped off the road. This section is patched just before the road goes over the railway on a bridge. The Railway is on the top right (level with the guardrail) There was a logjam at the railway's bridge over the river, which caused the river to flow down the railway tracks and wipe out the road. It used to be up level with the railway in this pic. One of my neighbors got stuck last night 1/2 way up the other side with a Dodge 1 ton 4x4 while pulling a trailer (pics REALLY don't show how bad it is. The bouncing took out his driveshaft) Luckily my '73 Jeep J4000 is sure footed and even made it in and out in 2wd while towing another Jeep. [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/carnuck/washout/washout2.jpg [/IMG] This shows the drain pipes that were washed out from under the road. [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/carnuck/washout/washout.jpg [/IMG] This Silverstream trailer was underwater at the river's bend (they were upstream of the logjam). [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/carnuck/washout/trailerwasunderwater.jpg [/IMG] This is the collection pool at the bottom of Sunset Falls (road has been mostly rebuilt here already) Water was up to the front yards of the cabins next to the road. The falls are just off the pic to the left. [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/carnuck/washout/sunsetfallspool.jpg [/IMG] Another view of Sunset Falls. (zoomed in!) [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/carnuck/washout/sunsetfallsandrailbridge.jpg [/IMG] My view of the river. We were smart to buy on top of the hill as it is solid rock and unlikely to slide (cutting into that hill to build my new house will be a pain though!) [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/carnuck/washout/myviewofriver.jpg [/IMG] Bottom 1/2 of my property. (taken from the spot where my Cabin's porch used to be years before) [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/carnuck/washout/bottompartofmyproperty.jpg [/IMG] debris washed up all over the place. I didn't get out and walk closer, but some sections were piled 20 feet high with logs. 1 house went downriver (I didn't have time to get a pic of the one that was lifted up 10 feet after the last flood. High water mark was 9 feet up the stairs and branches were stuffed into the steps all the way to the top) [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/carnuck/washout/debrisfield.jpg [/IMG] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/carnuck/washout/debrisfield2.jpg [/IMG] [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/carnuck/washout/debrisfield3.jpg [/IMG] ________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ View Athlete^Rs Collections with Live Search http://sportmaps.live.com/index.html?source=hmemailtaglinenov06&FORM=MGAC01 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2006 11:57:16 -0800 (PST) From: john Subject: Re: fsj: OT: Pics of the river washout from last week's flood actually the list will strip html out... the correct way to use HTML tags is < then the tag > then close it with < / tag > a space after the url won't matter if it's encapsulated in quotes.

Turkey contains tryptophan. Tryptophan does cause a sedative-like effect on the body, and it is also a chemical precursor of serotonin. Serotonin is one of a group of chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters that carry out communication in the brain and body. Low serotonin levels have been linked to sleep disorders and depression. When you consume tryptophan, your body can convert it into serotonin and hence raise serotonin levels. http://www.chemistry.org/portal/a/c/s/1/feature_ent.html?id=0f94a96edace11d5e4204fd8fe800100 already had my nap... ready to face reruns... john ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://JohnMeister.com **** http://wagoneers.com ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ** http://freegift.net *** http://greatcom.org/laws/languages.html ** - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 14:13:37 -0800 (PST) From: john Subject: fsj: 5 gallons a week... located a local source for Waste Veggie oil! nice teriyaki place by Silver Lake... about 5 gallons a week... Soybean oil... Type of Oil: Soybean oil Iodine number 125-140 Cetane number 53 Melting Range deg C Oil / Fat -12 C melting Methyl Ester - 10 Ethyl Ester - 12 need to read up on this, it's one of the lowest cetane ratings, but also one of the lower melting points. http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_yield.html Really need to get my J10 running with the dual tanks or I'll have enough veggie oil stored to run into the next century... problem will be storing it. :) Yo, bruce, do I have a metal barrel over at your place? I might get one of those 100 micron barrel filters and set my pump up on the metal barrel if we don't have oil in it... or I'll have to find time to go down to Seattle and buy another one... oh wait, got that metal one from chuck... I'm not sure I want to blend in the Benz, or get another tank/heater setup, might devalue the benz and make a mess... really, really need my J10 back... john ---- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://JohnMeister.com **** http://wagoneers.com ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ** http://freegift.net *** http://greatcom.org/laws/languages.html ** - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of fsj-digest V1 #2741 **************************
