which reminds me, I saw something where they took a lawnmower engine and a car alternator and made a generator kit out of it.

Although I don't think it would hold up long term as the car alternator bearings weren't made to be on end (vertical vs horizontal in your car) for extended periods of time.

Back about eighteen hundred and some,
A Louisiana couple had a red-headed son.
No name suited him; Jim, Jack or Joe,
So they just called him Billy Bayou.

Billy, Billy Bayou, watch where you go,
If you're walkin' on quicksand, walk slow.
Billy, Billy Bayou, watch what you say,
A pretty girl'll get you one of these days.

Billy was a boy, kinda big for his size,
Red hair, freckles and big blue eyes.
Thirteen years from the day he was born,
Billy fought the battle of the Little Big Horn.

appliances die?

sounds like either a bad ground or intermittent voltage spikes; you can purchase a whole house surge protector.

Actually I think it is more of older appliances. The dryer was 10 years old and the microwave was a POS since I got it. I should have made them put in a new one when they fixed it under warranty. I figure it has to be demonic poseesion because it spread to my bike also.

One day in eighteen seventy-eight,
A pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate.
He didn't know whether to stand there, or run,
He wound up married cuz he didn't either one.

Watch those deer !! A friend of my wifes was on a group run down in the hill country over the weekend, and hit a deer at 10 am in the morning. That is one place you don't ride at night, but suring the day it's usually OK, but not this time. He is in the hospital now w/ a severly fractured skull. He was not wearing a helmet, had he had one on, more than likely he would still be riding.
Always wear a helmet.
