To bad there isn't a Multi-Fuel Generator on the Market.

Yamaha has some Yamaha Propane and Natural Gas Generators

Its humorouse how people mention the zombie apocalypse, for several years now several of my co workers and I have been using that as a code word for a SHTF situation. Because we consider all of the people who have no idea how to care for themselves or do anything but wait for a handout to be zombies, who will come beating on your door when there is no food, water, power etc.

Today I installed a magic switch. This switch is a magic momentary off switch.
When I push it it momentarily turns off the circuit that it is in.

But for the life of me I cant remember what I put it in for.

It seemed it was to stop something that hurt my teeth and rattled my eyes for the first couple minuets after I started the truck. What could I have put it in for?

Oh well it will come to me later.

Joel 2:1 Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand:

It's funny how you presented this; but um just in case you haven't thought of it I thought I should post what we did "back in the day" - after performing PMCS on the engine compartment, start the truck, jump out and finish PMCS and safety procedures while the air builds: just a thought...

That is a great tip.

I drive the truck six days a week.

I check the lights every day when i unlock the gate at the shop and look for fluid leaks on the wheels and brake backing plates every day before leaving the house.

Every thing else is done once a week on Fridays.

The reason for the switch is to not disturb the neighbors. Since installing the muffler the buzzer is the loudest thing at idle.

Sounds good Bro, nice of you to think of those neighbors


And I see you are in my region so one day when I get my ride set up we should meet up and get out in that awesome wilderness with the rigs and rifles ...

You should plan on attending the next
PNW-2011-Third Annual Chehalis River Valley M/V Convoy&Campout

It was a blast. Of course it will be the forth annual next year.

Yes I have seen those. But as ol' Clint would say "A mans got to know his limitations"
I need something to scream at me in case i'm temporary overcome with stupid or something. (My wife says that happens quite regularly to me)

hahhaha my buzzer died so i'll just switch over

mine never had 1. Maybe I should look in to that.

That being said, took mine out for a little spin today. Ran great, and handled even better.

I was never one to put my trust in the light setup because the buzzer is meant to be a LOW AIR WARNING "While Hauling" and it gets your attention fast. So many things "flash" by and around your eyes while under way that you 'could' miss a light for several minutes robbing you of precious time to safely plan your next move.
