    The plastic ones are the only ones sold here. I had to throw the old ones out since they had expanded and contracted so much they became useless.

    I am building an enclosure to keep the gasoline (petrol) cans for my generator out of direct sunlight, since excessive heat makes gasoline expand and gas cans in the US have no pressure release valves.

    Good. Cats are carnivores exclusively. Feeding a cat a herbivorous diet will kill it dead in horrifying fashion. Stupid people can harm themselves all they want, but need to be restrained from bringing another life into it.

    Not a good idea, given your history with alcohol. Maybe a big bottle of sparkling cider instead?

    I have had a thought that possibly the reason why people have perceived me as "stupid" or "retarded" (among similar labels) all my life is because of my cognitive impairments. It's like trying to get a car to move with an engine but no transmission. I can't interact well within common society...

    There's only one way out and apparently it's blocked by the Siskiyou County Sheriff Dept. I am not leaving anyway.

    There is a fire burning on the other side of the ridge between the valley I live in and Ager Beswick Road. Fortunately the breeze is light and blowing the fire away from me. I can hear the Cal Fire helicopters flying overhead as they swoop down to dump water. 5pm Pacific time 14 August.

    Why do I keep longing for a female partner when I like my life exactly as it is? I don't want a woman who is either just short of insane or who wants to "fix" me. Those seem to historically have been the choices presented to me. Besides, true dating sites no longer exist, the goal of apps is to...

    I have been sick too often lately.

    I used to have serious GERD as well. I remember when I was going to vocational school to learn computer hardware (2005-06) I would wake up, eat, vomit, then drag myself to school, only for Fahd (computer hardware instructor) to say "you look and sound awful, we're only doing lab today, go home...

    You may need special shoe inserts if you have plantar fasciitis. I know you have little money, but you might see if you can get to a sporting goods store, sometimes they sell good inserts at reasonable prices. I don't want foot pain to derail your goal.

    Found this at an estate sale in Callahan, California, on 9 August. It's a barometer//temperature/humidity readout probably from the late 60s when such things were popular. I love how it looks-very much the professional side of the late 60s.

    FINALLY got a working generator!

    My mains power is 7 solar panels (5 200w, 2 100w, used to have 6 200w until a cow stepped on one) that power a 100Ah lithium ion battery which then feeds several inverters for different purposes. And yes all lights are 12vDC. It is against the battery warranty to run a compressor driven anything...

    FINALLY got a working generator!

    So on Wednesday I exchanged one Harbor Freight generator for another. Then it took me two days to break in the engine. Of course, on Friday it died with just 50min of running the air conditioner. So I took it back, got my money back, and headed to Grants Pass where I had bought my Cummins. By...

    Lack of formal air conditioning is really starting to get to me, even though it has been cooler than normal. I can't sleep more than a few hours and am constantly tired. Having to rely on a generator during summers is definitely not what I thought I was signing up for.
