    I guess the gravel makes it environmentally friendly, no? I wonder how many gas station owners used this solution.

    Actually if you pour it in a trench around your house you'll never have termites. This only works on subterranean termites.

    I clicked "like" on @OleBoot's post above... because Vanilla doesn't have an ugh! option. ;)

    The scary part is that it's from 1963 -- you would've thought that by then, such antics would already have been falling out of fashion.

    Of course, a decade earlier, they might've added: "to clear away the oil even faster, put your French drain close to a stream, river, or to your well site, and that nasty, smelly, dirty oil's gone in a jiffy!"

    Dilution is the solution to pollution. :#

    Speaking of water.

    I used to have good city water for 30 years.

    A year or two ago, I started smelling strong chemicals in the water. I started using reverse osmosis water from machines at grocery stores..

    Last night on the local news...

    It's been determined by a recent study; the water quality for the Wilmington Area is way below what standard levels of quality should be.

    NO S*#T. I knew that years ago. >:)

    Why is it just now making the news?

    Flint Michigan style cover-up?

    A chunk of Mars, some of the space rock that splattered a quiet English town and a dog kennel pierced by an object that came out of the sky.

    All three items go under the hammer on Wednesday when London auction house Christie's holds its annual sale of rare and unusual meteorites.

    And of particular interest in this sale will be the Costa Rican dog kennel belonging to Roky the German Shepherd. The tin roof of his wooden house was holed by a meteorite in 2019.

    Remarkably, the estimated value of £150,000-£220,000 ($200,000-$300,000) is more than for the actual space rock that did the damage.

    Objects hit by meteorites have a history of fetching big sums at auction.

    A mailbox* torn off its post in Claxton, Georgia, US, was sold at auction in 2007 for £61,000 ($83,000). And an old Chevrolet Malibu car struck by a meteorite in Peekskill, New York, in 1992 changed hands for £170,000 ($230,000) nearly 20 years later.
    ___________________________________________________________________


    My note:
    *(If the meteorite was examined closely that hit the mailbox, I believe It would turn out to be a "fruitcake" since Claxton GA is nicknamed the "Fruit Cake Capital of the World" due to the number of fruitcakes that is produced each year. Personally, I purchased two of them in 2021.) :D

    In 1963 a lot of things were considered fine, but later turned out to be bad. Cigarettes anyone?

    I filled my trucks' gas-tanks, and the cost was over 80.00+. So, I ordered keyed caps to help keep the gas in my tanks.

    I also, just because I had some free time and felt good and the weather was still warm, I sanded and painted the caps after they arrived. 15 pictures maybe of the steps. Came in to download...the memory chip card was out. :s The Cannon doesn't do cable connections anymore on this model. WIFI only. I don't know how to do WIFI stuff, so I've just been removing the card, putting into my PC and then replacing it back into the camera. It's no big deal at all.

    I have tried to clean the gas-tank filler areas and doors for 30 years. The past few years or a lot longer, the area wouldn't begin to come clean. I walked past the cleaner's area in the back room getting the primer and blue sparkle paint. So I grabbed 2 cleaners. 409, and Bleach White.

    The 409 surface and something cleaner started to clean the dark black stains if it sat for a moment before wiping it off. YEA! Finally found something. I've had this 409 for 10+ years too, and never tried it. It was hidden in a rolling cabinet table :D .

    There was tape covering the key slot on top and covering the bottom screw base of course when I put the memory card back in. I then forgot to take pics of the "custom caps" after I removed the tape.

    They do look like they came with the truck now. B)

    Hopefully I would hear the drill.

    I'd definitely hear the saws-all.

    If one goes to steal my catalytic Conv., I go to steal one's leg with my own saws-all or better yet, my ax. One and done.

    I deliver mail in downtown Rochester,NY. Last week,two of my customers that live in loft apartments,had their catalytic converters sawed off their cars. Just out of camera view,in a “secure” parking lot.

    The metal recycling Co. here in Wilmington will not buy C. Converters. Period.

    There must be an underground syndicate that buys them. The Converter Cartel.

    Shame the cameras didn't catch what direction the Converter carrying guy/s came from or went toward. I would hope the complex puts up a couple more cameras now.
