Nobody else is going to post pics? If we're just going to BS about mine, what do yout think it'll cost me to have that silver maple at the SE corner of the house taken out? :mrgreen:
Last week I noticed Google Earth had done a new fly-by over my house and updated their images, so now I have a satellite photo of my deuce and M223.

I got a line on a full barrel of free WMO, so today my son and I headed out in the deuce. She already had about 5 gallons of WMO from home and I didn't know how much diesel because the fuel gauge is less-than-accurate.
I cranked 20 gallons through the filter and was surprised to see the tank...

I finally got started with WMO today. I've had a drum in the garage for some time, and picked up a cheap-o HF hand-crank barrel pump (that may prove to be the weak link). Got the filter and housing from NAPA as indicated in other threads here.
