My experience with my Garmin is in a country area the shorter distance setting will give you more country roads and some scenic areas.

I discovered this by driving a older gentleman to his destinations looking for addresses he wanted to go to buy items for his salvage and parts business.

What do you do with small propane tanks

Remove the valve, fill with water and drill a hole below the water line and take to a scrap metal yard and they should take them as normal scrap metal.
That is what our local yard tells their customers to do. With two holes for air circulation there is no chance of retained gas to explode if compressed or exposed to pressure.

I have a small Webber cooker that uses the small propane tanks. My problem is, where do you dispose of them? The local landfill wants $5 apiece to take them. I don't think I even paid $5 each for them! I use the small ones because I can't lift the 20lb tanks anymore (4 back surgeries). Would love some ideas as to what folks who use these tanks for welding do with them after they are empty. Thanks ;-)

Filtering gasoline

Air filters,oil filters,fuel filters and coffee filters are all paper so use as needed.

Can paper coffee filters such as the type used in Mr. Coffee machines be used to filter gasoline?

Will the gasoline break-down the make-up of the filter and lead to more impurities?

Thanks,

That reflection is from two red trucks. A Kenworth and a IH sitting at the edge of the road.

I feel honored to have gotten this shot and double honored that someone thinks enough to say so.

Thank you Greg for your comments, it make a person want to get out and try for more of the same.

DePratt, is your vehicle red? I see a red vehicle reflection on the nose cone. Love planes and this photo has it all. Great detail, color and the sense of speed. Thanks for sharing it.

Local Crop Duster

It takes a lot of good judgement to get in and out of some locations.

I have spoken to a local duster that is no longer flying because of his health and he said that he had survived two crashes while dusting, one from engine failure and one from contact with the top of a tree.

Thank you for looking.
