Re: homebrew diesel

Howdy partner,

What a great wee find this is. Great levels of coolness could be
achieved by making yer own fuel like that.
Cor-blimey, just imagine being able to run the Amptramp on green
slime juice :) .
Yummmmeee.

Hmmm, come to think of it, this might give the old girl a belly
ache hehehehe.
Gurgle, gurgle ;) .

Here's hoping you are getting some positive results from those
experiments you have been working on. I have some green slime here.
It grows in the gutters of the house. In the summer, I get a good
crop of grass in the green stuff. By my figerin', there is enough
grass on the roof to feed my smallest Goat for nearly 7 minutes.

Hey, perhaps I can find a use for all those little black ball
bearings that keep falling out of her rear end ;) .
If you need any little black ball bearings, just let me know hehe.


Cheers, and Bio-Diesel beers,
Steve McAmptramp.
