Sorry for peeking at details but I couldn’t help noticing the wooden joints that you did not have to go to the hardware store to fasten.

First, the propane mixer…
I used a 30mm inner bearing, an O-ring seal, an 8mm inner copper tube, a 1:15 mixing ratio…

Joep, wood is next, I plan to build a gasifier on the back, there will be no need to save weight here, as it needs weighting.
This will be a rather interesting project, the cooler will be easy to install, it is easy to use the exhaust gas temperature, the gasifier will be mounted low - easy to fill and clean, there is relatively much space near the engine,…
I plan to expand the hydraulics, so that there will be another output to drive the log splitter, … well, in short, many plans, … I have to open a new topic,…

Well it likes that kind of gas. Now comes the charcoal gas from a gasifier.

Ha! Ha! Here I will show you the ONLY Wife approved duct tape repair of mine in our 33 years of marriage:
The good undamaged side.
Then the side wife-darling creased split 11 month ago, two week after acquiring this vehicle; her miss-negotiating a tight fast-foods drive-through:
Yep. Yep. She over-focused avoiding a protruding sign on her left side and a ground mounted very stout sign on her right side reached out and bit her! She got Titanic’ed. At her next grocery store stop, when she saw the extent of the damage, she sat down and cried. Then puked.
I did a better job of this year taping/sealing. And used a better “Extreme All Weather” tape rated for “Exterior Projects”.
Why not get it repaired? She really, really should not run another claim through our Insurance company. Be the fifth in 10 years. It will tag her as a not-good-driver. And that will affect the rates on her own, mine and two other vehicles.
Plus she and I are abstinent, insistent that our vehicles are our working American Life tools. Not outward icons of our wealth and success’s.
Tools used, do wear and get used up. On road vehicles are for-sure your armor to protect you against all road hazards. Wear your nicks, scratched; dings and dents with honor.
A hand wash job makes very practical silver shine right up.
I hope some of these mild rain fronts are making it over to you @Bobmac

Early morning time here. Time to fire up The Whole House Dehumidifier.
Soon the wife will be up, and for-sure be running the electric clothes dryer. More in house humidity removal.
The make-up air drawn in from the outside is chilled; dew and frost dropped out; drier:
These are the exact same principals engineered into all modern cars. The majority haven’t used coolant water flow control valves to the heater core in a long time.
First they over-chill/refrigerate the allowed in air to drop out much of the air humidity as possible.
Then hot engine coolant is used reheat that air; then “blending” the re-heated air with some of the refrigerated air for the actual conditioned air temperature to the interiour.
That conditioned air de-misting and de-fogging the inside of windows much quicker. Drying out the touched seats leather, wet sticky tackiness quicker.
Natural phenomena is that: more flows to less. Nature insists on balances. Darn adamant about this. She applies constant, insistent, differential pressures over Time.

Hey GoranK. @Woodrunner I cannot find the better topic conversation string to shout out a big thank-you to you.
It is about the made-in-Sweden Aspen brand fuels you recommend for long term in-engines storage.
I am done now seasonally with my made-in-China tracked toter equipment. So suction gun removed the gasoline from the tank and ran it across the yard lot to fetch the two yard hammocks for inside storage. To use up, clear the lines and carburetor of the gasoline.
It has been running now ragged. I’d just thought original crappy Chinese spark needing to be changed out for a Bosch or an NGK.
As soon as I put the 500 ml of two year old AspenFour in it . . . it now runs smoothly and perfectly. Then the same experiences with first the walk behind mower; and then the rider mower.
It was that last 5 gallon can of now six months old, bought last April/May E-15 gasoline. Into the old 94 Ford pickup it goes now. It only has to make the 3 miles trips to, and back to the garbage transfer station.
So now in addition to AspenTwo and Four being my in-engines storage fuel; Aspen will be my running proof fuel too.
Thanks much man for your recommendation

Thank you SteveU, glad to hear it works good for you.
It got me thinking some weeks ago, when i started up a oldtimer chainsaw, it started on the second pull, and had been stored in my outdoor chainsaw shed for two, maybe three years, got me thinking, hey, i should have made a youtube video about this, i believe i promised to document some of these storing long-time starts?
But after all, not much use of a video, when watchers only have my word at its been stored so and so, long time, and with this or this fuel?
I still have some trouble with aspen alcylate fuel and some float type carburetors (not every float carb).
Ive planned some experimenting with density, (float level height) foaming due to vibrations, or like.
My attempt to make a see-through float bowl out of resin failed.
And yes, engines runs smoothly on this fuel, it also have a good cleaning effect on spark plugs (could lead to scourcing if aspen is filled in a well-used, rich running soot-clogged old two-stroke, soot come loose in chunks)
On a hard working chainsaw, fuel change to alcylate, it always is recomended to re-tune, or open up high jet a little fraction of a turn, my guess is this has to do with density of fuel passing the jet, i havent noticed any higher consumption.

I will give you 3 guesses what has been finally lifted in our area of Washington State. We still have two very large forest fires burning in our area. We had snow in the mountains that is helping the fire fighters a lot to contain them.
Wow I am making charcoal again. This is really nice. DOW.

“No matter what direction you turn your butt is always in the rear end”. That’s a direct translation of a Swedish saying.
For me personally right now, it’s about fossil fuel and potatoes. For the past year or so gasoline has never been cheaper. Oil prices are down and our govenment has cut fuel taxes to compensate for post pandemic economic difficulties. This means my daily DOW isn’t as profitable as it used to be - less fun passing gas stations reading the signs 
Another setback is I got the best potato harvest ever this year. But I just read I’m not the only one. Apparently there’s plenty of potatoes in Europe, even plenty left in from last year. So, the price is the lowest in a long time.
Well well, I really have no reason to complain - until snow arrives that is. Just for the record it’s 25F outdoors right now, but a comfortable wood heated 73F indoors

Hur man än vänder sig har man röven bak, om man inte tar av sig byxorna- för då kommer den fram…
I can absolutely not translate that word- pooping…
Eller: gammalt djungelordspråk: hur lite man än skiter i byxorna, är det alltid för mycket…
Sorry… i guess friday feeling has got me… and no, i havent drink anything stronger than orange juice.

For here in my area they have lifted the fire ban even though we still have two big fires burning in the mountains near by. I have not driven my gasifier truck for months now. Some one sees a little smoke and they call the hot line to report it in our area. A couple of years ago now I had the fire department looking for a fire on my street. It was from my gasifier truck from opening my hopper. The hopper was closed and no smoke coming out of it by the time they pulled up to the upper parking lot at the Apple Loop Trail looking for a fire some had reported. One big fire truck engine and a smaller fire truck. Close call for me. I would have been charged for the call out if they knew who was making the smoke. This is why I want a stealthy gasifier jeep that can run on charcoal or wood. DOW or DOC.

Bob,
It is just hard for me to believe how sensitive people are there about a little smoke prompting such an extreme reaction. Yet with wild fires seeming to become an increasing danger, I guess it is understandable. Nothing like that here in rural North Carolina, thank God.

I heard a recent radio transmission of fire department being dispatched for a potential forest fire
The report came back it was smoke from a muzzle loader. Guy was sighting in his hunting gun and Karen neighbor called it in saying “I can’t breath”
Ya. People are…… weird….

I know you guys live a long way away, but to not be able to hear a gunshot is pushing it if you are having issues with smoke. I wonder if the township will charge her for a the fake fire call.

Yes in these last years these days people are getting very very hard to deal with. If you do not do what they want and what they think is aceptable they call the cops on you, with even false claims because they can get away with it and not get into trouble. They use the Hot lines and need no acountability in their actions. Yes lots of evil people out there stiring up trouble now. DOW up here is with no signs or flags flying or flashing lights that might cause someone to call the hot line because you are doing something different and they can not or do not know to do it. Very sad but true.
But I am having another backyard fire tonight with the grandchildren. More charcoal making in progress the easy way. I might have enough charcoal to go 400 hundred miles now just from enjoying my backyard fires in a big metal firepit. They will not let me use my highbanker any more on the gold claims so I use it to classifly my black gold fuel from the ash. I store the charcoal with the ash in it and when the fire ban is placed back on I clean my charcoal up and store it. Damp clean charcoal is so nice to work with, no dust.
Up Date: No fire tonight , it started to rain. YES! Thank you Yehovah Almighty God, you are bring the much needed rain and snow into our part of the country. This will really help the firefighters in getting these fires fully contained. Well we will not be able to work our low water claims this year on Blewett Pass. The rain will bring the water in the creeks back up. But the erroision in the burn areas will bring new deposts into the creeks feeding the claims. So let it snow and rain all season long. We have not have had a really good run off for years now in this area.
