2% Biodiesel and Canola Oil
1. I dunno what kinda of injection pressure those cars run. I would not personally put straight canola in my fuel unless I were to refine it. Older vehicles like the 12v cummins can eat waste veggie oil no problem with a little filtration.2. If your buying canola off the shelf for a lubricant instead of a supplement, I still think you would be better ahead than 2-stroke. In a pinch? Only if it were refined. The vp44 would not like it, I'm sure.If you used it for a source of fuel, that would be spendy... A gallon of canola compared to diesel, thats a huge difference.

Raw Milk
Yea, I think they need to pull the farm subsidy away too... Sure, it may be a shock to the economy and food for a little but I think it would help re-stabilize things in the right way. Although, the Organic milk you mention. Around here, I have looked on the jugs and they TOO say they are pastuerized! I've only found this place to sell the RAW milk: http://millerscountrystoresandpoint.com/ They get there milk from here: http://www.springsofhoperanch.com/ From what I remember, I think the dairy is also a boys ranch program. So the troubled boys get to learn how to do the dairy thing. ALRIGHT! Free labor! I hope that this won't change your thoughts about me in a negative way... - - - Updated - - - Take a look at this: http://www.springsofhoperanch.com/Our-products.html http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&q=aspartame+in+milk&oq=aspartame+&gs_l=hp.1.1.0l4.3266.3266.1.4594.1.1.0.0.0.0.484.484.4-1.1.0...0.0...1c.1.7.psy-ab.9MnmbtR0i68&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.&bvm=bv.44442042,d.cGE&fp=25bc52d045581189&biw=1280&bih=598 http://raw-milk-facts.com/ http://www.realmilk.com/

Raw Milk
Why do you think everyone was in cahoots on both sides about the milk subsidy ending when the fiscal cliff deal was going down? The consumer was gonna have to bay $6-8 for a gallon of milk at the store and the big dairies were gonna get bled out. A double-edged sword. But something that we should have been cut by... I have read many sorts of things that are present in pastuerized milk. If it was not so, the milk would be poison! The process of big dairies is profound. Blood, pus, feces, stressed milk, antibiotics... I told the wife, we might as well put water in our cereal.

3rd gen steering upgrade
How much are the parts, where do you get 'em? Is there a writeup of it? Is it worth the trouble? What does it remedy, exactly? Did I get to 21, yet?

Tranny rebuild?
I'm not by any means a pro when it comes to coming to excellent tranny rebuild advice. Although there are certain things that I would do if I could do it over again. Take my advice for what its worth and I'm sure I will also be corrected for it as well, but thats okay. As long as we are able to give you good sound advice.For a rebuild with some upgrades that you are pursuing, I would get a triple disk torque converter. Revmax has seemed to gain a good reputation in their TC for these trucks. They are easier on your wallet, and I have yet to see any negative comments about them.valve body upgrade would be a good idea. Seems like the most popular one is called the transgo shiftkit. I dunno what kind of valve body was put in mine when I got it rebuilt, but the owner stressed to the fact that it would increase line pressure by revving the engine higher before shifting. If you do the tow/haul, that will be something desirable to have.Get the chevy/gmc solenoid mod for your 2nd gear shift. Not sure exactly about what all the billet parts you should have for a milder build, but it seems th consensus is the input shaft and flexplate.Any chance you can get to get any increase in clutch surface area and clutch count is also another good idea. ATS does change the design to allow for such things. Other tranny shops may also do the same thing.Get a deeper trans pan. More fluid, the cooler it will run.IF you have the time and resources, teach yourself to rebuild it instead of sending it out. It will save you gobbs of cash and can allow for more upgrades. It may be a learning curve, but when you get done you will have deeper understanding of things and could troubleshoot things better down the road.

Raw Milk
With that said, why is there a presence of such a bacteria? How would these bacteria get into the milk? Is it present inside the udder? My understanding is, No. It is not present IN the udder. Its present because of feces on the teets and udder. Udder not being washed and the equipment not kept clean... Another keyword is the mention of the big boys. Bingo. That IMO is where the shortcuts begin to take place. We need diversity in the marketplace. When we get too many big fish in the market choking the little guys out we are faced with these incidents of spinach being recalled because of e. coli. I'm not very partial to the FDA from the get go, so its somewhat hard for me to care about them and their statements. Don't take that as an insult, its just how I feel. Homogenization is also another thing I should have brought up... Forgot about that one. You are right! People would never have to supplement their dairy intake through lactose free products or like the drops my wife takes to cancel this problem out! The enzyme is already their to combat the problem! We were very giddy over the fact that my wife could drink the raw milk without any ill side effects that pastuerized milk brings! I've thought about the cow share program. Some are offered here locally. Just have not considered it enough yet. Especially since they threw on some more responsibilities than I'm really comfortable investing in for a gallon of. I do believe there is an aspect of propoganda going on to scare people away from drinking raw milk. I have read articles that literally describe the night and day diff. between peoples health just by drinking raw milk compared to those who have not.

What is the original intent of government?
I finally have a moment to deliberate on this subject with you. Dunno if you have put the subject to rest yet or not, but what the hey. I will talk about it even if its to no one. W&F really summed up the subject very nicely. I would like to expand on that a little more to maybe give you a deeper understanding on the issue. Anyone, please feel free to chime in if I fail to explain something properly. I first off would like to stress the point in the beginning of the subject about the issue of the foundation of our nation. Our country was founded on biblical principals. Does this mean you have to be a person who believes in the bible to be a citizen of this country? NO. Many people who are not Christian get very offended by that idea that we were founded on the principle of the bible. But it just simply means we structured our government according to the foundation laid before us in the Good Book. Let me explain: In Romans 13, we have here a very popular area in the book that many people, govts have used to educate the people about the role of govt. but also to "control" govt. Romans 13:1-7: Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. 6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. In this respect we see that the bible calls for us to be subjected by the govt. Because God has instituted the govt. It also says that those who rebel against the govt. will be subject to judgement. You also see that I have highlighted a section in bold for emphasis. Govt. institutions are here to keep civil order and bring justice to those who do wrong. It also says that govt. can also institute taxes. Some people have a huge problem with the idea of govt. You have to be able to read distinctly between that fine line of govt. and no govt. Some people think that we are to rule ourselves. Some people think that govt. is to have total rule over us. Just in these verses, we see that the ONLY thing govt. has control over us for is to secure civil order and administer justice for evildoers and taxes. Taxes are biblical. Capital punishment is biblical. But there is no where that says what limitations, "We the people" have in how much a govt. can have. We need to stop and think here for a second: The bible did not say anything about the forms of govt. It allows for all forms of govt. to exist. But, given the spectrum of govts. that do exist, there can only be one that can be as close to biblical as possible to allow for a people to be free. We have to then take into the account of a single and certain disclaimer to this fact: Mark 7:21-23 21“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,22deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.23“All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.” This shows and tells us that man is inherintly evil. His heart inclines to wickedness rather than good. Our forefathers understood the bible very well and knew these things. They were FLEEING such men in govt. because of this! So why the diff. forms of govt.? We see in the bible that it comes down to SIN. When the Jewish people rebelled against God, we see them being given over to bondage. A couple examples of this is during bablyon and egypt. These men who ruled these kingdoms were allowed to rule the way they were because they served a purpose for God. God can use even the most wicked of people for his purpose. Does that mean they are doing anything that is good for him? No... When we as a people rebel against him through sin, we are given over to bondage. He will allow these men of wickedness to rule over us and institute things at their pleasure. Once again, our founding fathers knew these things. They knew that they had to structure this new govt. they were building to restrain these things from taking place. But they also were aware that EVEN IF they set these things in place, that the people of this nation could STILL be given over to bondage. Why? Because we as a people rebelled, we became drunk and have fallen asleep. We were and are to remain vigilant to restrain the govt. as we were given such duties to do so. @$#%@%$^%^&Ran out of time will add more soon@%^%^%^*%*&

Raw Milk
So given that there are some here who are in the farming industry, how many here do any dairy? Even if you are not a partaker in the dairy, do you have your own cow for personal dairy needs? If so, I would like to hear from you guys about your thoughts on raw milk! Its obsurd to think that an average person does not give it a single or much thought about the process of reaching the final outcome for butter, cream, etc. But with the raw milk there is so much to be had from it! Many benefits to reap. So, I have done quit a bit of research in understanding how it is we have come to the point that we are at today with the product that we call "milk". Its sickening, IMO. Does anyone else here partake in the real drink of the good stuff? My wife is lactose intolerant as native Americans a prone to being lactose intolerant. So, by researching how to remedy this problem she faces, we found a product called Lactase drops. They are extracted from raw milk into a concentrated liquid to help people with the intolerance. It was not until later that I was quit able to grasp concept in how they were able to manufacture the drops. If you were to look up raw milk, you would then understand. We still buy her the drops as it serves purpose because she can't just make everything out of raw milk. Although, it would be better if we replaced store milk with raw milk instead. Problem is, raw milk is much spendier. It would be nice to own a dairy cow for personal use. It would also be nice if we could overcome the supposed problems that raw milk brings. The health benefits I think people could reap from it would far surpass the risk. If you think about it, look at all these products in the refridgerated section that deal with people and their lactose intolerance. Its such a scam! For someone who is intolerant and wants milk, they would have to pay $12/gal! Being here in WA for work, I'm not able to find anyone here locally that sells raw milk. Back at home in Sandpoint, we have some amish that sell raw milk at their health food store. Yea, its still $6.50 a gal. but we need some at the moment. Why you ask? My wife was sick for a little over a week last week. So much so to the point I had to take her to urgent care as she was suffering dehydration because she was had it coming out both ends. We got IV fluids in her and brought her back. Any longer and she would have been in the hospital. She was overcome by a few diff. nasty germs as the doctor said. He prescribed some antibiotics and some anti-nausea. Due to the strength of the antibiotics, we needed to get some probiotics in her to keep her from suffering more diarrhea. Contrary to what people think, yogurt really is not a great of solution as one would think. Why? ...pasteurization. Raw milk is just that, raw. Except, here in WA, you can't buy this terrible stuff called raw milk. Its nowhere to be found, even in the strictest hippy liberal healthfood store! Its a sad thing, to think that we have some much relugation to the point that milk in its most natural state cannot even be found on a market shelf. Because all in the name of safety it carries diseases! Did anyone ever stop and think and wonder, how in the world did the people of before EVER manage to get the human race this far and yet still drink raw milk? It has been drank for thousands of years and yet suddenly, in the past couple hundred years, we suddenly see it something that is dangerous for our health! You know what I think the real culprit with raw milk is? Industrialization! Yea, sure with the advance of this great technology to give us the ability to drive costs down, to greater supply the population with the product everyone gets to drink milk. But at what expense? I think that due to the idea of the concept of a City, we suffer from the rewards that are offered in working for ourselves. What do I mean? Think about it. When the demand is there for a product, shortcuts are taken. In the instance of milk, I think the problem with these illnesses caused by the consumption of raw milk is due to the fact that the one furnishing the milk from the cow did not take the proper precautions in being SANITARY. When pastuerization came about people were suffering from so many illnesses they found out it was from the raw milk. But what the heck happened with that era? Why all the sudden were they coming down with these problems with drinking raw milk when it was just fine to drink before? Think about what the people did in the times of the black plague. Sanitation went down hill... If we could ever get people to realize that with proper handling and understanding what to expect from it and give it respect, we could understand that partaking in this drink is of more benefit, IMO, than risky. Problem is, with the CITY, we increase the distance of the cow to the store shelf! Get rid of the concentration of people in one area and we would not overcome the problem with being able to drink a fine thing, but we would also be able to get rid of many other undesirable things as well! Hope I'm not just talking crazy...

2% Biodiesel and Canola Oil
Thats shocking that you cannot find an biodiesel pump in CA... I would thunk all them liberal bunny huggers would have mandated 100% BD by now...As for runnin' anything through a CP3, I could not say what that would do. I dunno if lube is required for a CP3 at all? Vp44 IP is a totally diff. beast than a cp3.Let alone, you would not be able to just take canola oil from the shelf and throw it right into the tank...With the cp3 pressure thats developed, I would be a little concerned about polymerization as well.

Survive & Thrive
Sometimes you come off too cryptic to me! I believe I got the jist of it though. I believe what you are talking about is situational awareness. Over the years I have started teaching myself this phrase and try and practice often. Let me tell you though, you can get used to being this way and sometimes you are so "aware" people actually think your up to no good. I have yet to be approached by someone saying that though. It also is a big mental drain after a while. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever give myself PTSD from doing it! Now, let me tell ya, to and fro'ing back to Spokane for my job, being here during the week was a nightmare at first. It had been over 3 years since I moved from Spokane. So to come back and stay longer than an occassional weekend, put me on edge. I've posted up before some of the insanity that has taken place being here again. Working close to the downtown area, I have already experienced some loonies while at work. Next stop is Yakima, I'm DREADING that place! :banghead: I will be packing 24/7 there! A good read Now, as far as this goes! There was one pretty similar in Russia: Alot went wrong in these videos that culminate such large casualty. I'm not exactly sure if the russian fire is also caused by pyrotechnics, but it looks as though it was. In any case, for pyrotechnics to be used INSIDE a building is willful ignorance. Who in their right mind would ever think it to be a good idea? Couple the fact that you have a area concentrated with people who are drunk and the likes. The premise that most people could not even act rationally in the event of a fire in such a place and then add alcohol? :banghead: If you notice, poor building construction, lack of emergency exits and potential high fire load really compounded things. That fire built up so quickly that I'm not surprised it went as well as it did! Some may think that is a pretty rash statement, but its not. I would have put money on only people who were not drinking and were near exits and had a basic understanding of egressing a building from a fire properly would be the ones that would have escaped without any problems. Mass panic in a human stampede= death! The fortunate thing to the unfortunate thing is that the people who died in these fires would have been overcome by the smoke before they even had a chance to experience being burned alive. Now, as for the firefighters having to pull out the bodies, that will be something I think they will probably need alot of counseling for....

I'm not entirely schooled in Catholicism, so some of this is beyond me. Although, reading, alot of it seems to make alot of sense. I do not want ayone here to be personally offended by it, its just for reading sake. Anyone who is catholic shed some light on this for me? Or tell me what they think of this? http://www.raptureready.com/soap/wasson93.html I do not endorse the site, but happened upon this article.

Signs of the times
Tell me about it.. Sandpoint has been a big thing with the libtards. Open carry and not becoming a victim to political corectness helps. The city is rooting itself more and more in their ways and ideas though. Thankfully there are still elected officials in our city council, sheriff, and politicians that are not as destructive in their thinking as their potential competition is. Some ordinances have been enacted though that is just out of this friggin' world. At a council meeting, a lady expressed the fact her son was *** and did not want him to become a "victim" to discrimination. So, because there was not any opposition, they passed a city ordinance that it is now a hate crime if you discriminate..

If the people of CO can't regain their liberty's, I hope that the firearms manufacturers will move their business to ID. I would definitely go work for them! I will be praying for this nation but, I fear God's hand of protection is already lifted and we will be experiencing judgements unless we can repent before our nation falls. But I fear the snowball is too big to stop and we have gone passed the point of no return!

Urgent Alert Beware Patriots – HIGH IMPORTANCE
With a recent point to a direction by a fellow member, the site listed has a forum as well and they posted the same article. One person on there was adamant about how this article held no water and must have been purely for attention purposes. Now,with that being said, I have no way to confirm the validity of their statement, nor the validity of this article, all I have to go off of is my own opinions. Being who I'am, I can say the least that it does not surprise me the least bit. A few points that we ALL must remember is: 1. Remember hurricane Katrina, during the state of emergency troops were ordered to go door to door. In the course of action, our 2nd A right was apparently suspended. They DID seize arms from people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tta1qhQZWSE ^Proof 2. In a study, which I cannot find the source to at the moment, states that 1 in 3 soldiers would follow an order, whether or not it is constitutional. 3. Those people of the badge, etc. sometimes will follow orders and do it willingly despite whether or not it is constitutional. Carrying the actions out because of ignorance. As well, being "groomed". 4. We have more foreign troops in the US than one could ever fathom. Despite what you may think or know, there is enough foreign soldiers STATIONED in the US at THIS MOMENT that would be more than willing to disregard our Constitution and carry out orders. Also, remember that the DHS seems to be playing as its own military force. They are the big boys behind alot of this stuff. They have their own ARMY ready and willing to follow any order given to be carried out against the american people. Not to mention, we also have any blue hat U.N'ers that would be willing to help in the fight. Our soldiers are too busy fighting in the middle-east, we THE PEOPLE are gonna have to be the ones to fight this war.

oil level keeps rising
Well, I would say that its got me stumped. As I don't see how the oil level could increase unless something was being added. I dunno of anything else that could add to the oil...

chain saw tuning... help
I have some experience with tuning and the biggest points I can bring up are:1. Refer to a factory service manaul if they had any included with it and see what it is they tell you for tuning on the adjustments.2. A tachometer to properly tune the RPMS. Without one you may be running it too hot and burn up the jug and piston.
