Is not gravity the same in both directions? why is it that when we fight against gravity it goes easier? you'd think that gravity wouldn't be such a problem on the return flight of those barrels. :) Maybe it's because we're concerned about our toes... also interesting how the edge of the barrel gets dented when it hits the concrete floor in my shop. john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://wagoneers.com john's 6.2L GW: http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/Omega/ SAVE FUEL use AMSOIL Synthetics: http://wagoneers.com/AMSOIL - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2008 15:04:15 -0700 (PDT) From: john Subject: [db] $15 reading lesson I finally go the tires for the '47 Bantam trailer... last night off of craigslist for $10! whoo hoo... took said tires and existing tires to discount tire this morning... at lunch went to pick them up... they weren't mounted... turns out that what I thought were 14" tires on my Bantam rims were in fact 15"... so I got to pay $5 to have two 14" tires dismounted that I can't use and $10 for the pair of nice 14" tires that went into the "bin". it's interesting that the manager of the tire shop also didn't catch it either... faked both of us out. :) he was nice enough to let me select two matched Michelin tires in the correct size from his "bin" in exchage for the wrong ones... :) john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://wagoneers.com john's 6.2L GW: http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/Omega/ SAVE FUEL use AMSOIL Synthetics: http://wagoneers.com/AMSOIL - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2008 16:01:35 -0700 (PDT) From: john Subject: [db] is this a good pump? found a used version of the pump listed below, it also comes with 3 - 5gal cans full of Diesel, or about 16 gallons worth of Diesel... pump includes hoses and pickup... pictures at: http://wagoneers.com/tmp/dsl100_0528.jpg http://wagoneers.com/tmp/dsl100_0526.jpg the guy wants $250 for the pump, and it comes with about $76 worth of fuel, and three cans... (or I can buy the 100 gallon bed tank with two pumps and 40 gals for about $550...) considering that the new one is about $290 with delivery... does this sounds like a good deal; thoughts on the pump??? would this pump veggie oil??? thanx, john - ----------------------- http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200329831_200329831 Tuthill Fuel Transfer Pump . 12 Volt, 15 GPM, Model# FR1210CNT Industry-standard contractor-grade pump has an explosion-proof motor with permanent magnet.
