Oh, don't get me wrong...I support our fire departments. It's just that someone should notice the exhaust is damaging the road surface and do something about that. Maybe a heat shield of some kind. Or the road grader shaving off asphalt as it scrapes the snow/ice, and damaging the curbs.
On...
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe "any" government vehicle is taxed for the road tax. If they pay at the pump there is a system for recouping those road tax dollars.
It's inevitable, but I've seen a lot of road damage by the road commission, especially while scraping the roads of snow...
Shouldn't everything that uses the "road" pay the tax?
Let's consider the joggers, the bicycles, the mopeds? How do electric cars pay for their fair share? How about farm vehicles with out plates? License plate fees get some but not all, road tax on fuel gets some but not all.

I had my injectors checked and tested by Superior Diesel in Detroit. He told me to save my money and put them back in just as they were. This after burning WVO during the warm months and pump diesel during the cooler/coldest months. I was concerned about what I was doing to the pump and...
...or the forecast I saw for tomorrow night in the nightly news. Just when I thought things were improving around here. Hope you all didn't pack away your snow shovels or longjohns just yet.
Hope you all brought you longhandles and another log for the fire. It's WHITE here! Not solid white but definitely more snow than I wanted. Only thirty degrees at 8 AM, may get more snow tonight. Forecasting more wind also. What happened to the warm weather we had a week ago?
Just...
I certainly hope you guys scheduled better weather for next weekend, than we have this weekend, but then if she gets this kind of spring weather out of her system this weekend, next weekend should be wonderful Michigan spring weather......right? If I can't get away from work and the farm until...
I just checked and searched Craigslist in Central MI, for "Biodiesel" and found it still there. Listed on March 5th, with pictures and a listed phone number of #231-335-9997, if you're interested in making your own fuel. The price didn't seem to bad. I'd be interested to know if any of you...
As of yet, I don't have a MV to burn anything in. However, we've been burning WVO in Cummins diesels and various farm tractors for over three years. We don't use the thicker shortening type but try to stay with the "conola oil" type veggie oil. Just for the reason that the "oil" flows better...
Yeah, I'm with you. Just tell me how and when to pay. I'd like to be knowledgeable enough not to get fined for using waste oil. If I find anything, I'll post it too.
Yeah, I was a "G" man. Proud to say I put in my time for the cause.
I've been places, at the "Gubment's expense, that I wouldn't spend my hard earned money to get there.
Still collecting my government check, and will continue as long as I live. Guess that makes me part of the "Gubment".
I'll...
OK, no promises but if I get to go to the swap and look at MILITARY VEHICLES (that mention of "MILITARY VEHICLES" gets this message OK to be on here, right?) then talk about farming while there I can charge the whole trip off to a business expense. What a deal!
Hey, what's a angus x irish...
Maybe the horse is the answer, to the fuel questions.
That and a mule train to haul everything, besides I got plenty of them already in the family. Just have to teach them better manners.
Thanks for the discussion.
Yeah, I guess, as long as we keep mentioning the swap met we can talk about the burgers n prime rib, we all gotta eat, right?
I'm just guessing the grand pooba will get a little peeved if we continue to hijack his thread.
May have to grease the skids with a steak or similar.
May have to just...
I find your post interesting as all the information on SS is very helpful while I try to understand and figure out all aspects whether talking fuel or related or any un-related issues. Please, don't get me wrong, I don't doubt anything you say and I'm not questioning your facts.
I continue to...
You do "replacement heifers" or beef? What's you breed?
Sooooo, we got more interests in common.....
More to discuss.
How's your hay situation?
Hey isn't this supposed to be all about military vehicles?
