Yeh the Maine guy.  I still havent gotten the pushrods.  So if anyone is thinking of doing business with this guy learn my from my lesson.  $17 to mail pushrods, give me a break and still havent gotten them 2 weeks later.  I guess they shipped the mfrom India.  Cant even get him to respond to any emails.  So if he's on here....I want my pushrods!!!!!!!!!!!  Or give me my money back.

Thats good to know.  I'm still waiting for my parts that I paid for on the 24th.  For $17 shipping it should have been next day.  Live and learn.

Listeroid Engines / Re: Running a Listeroid on Bio-Gas (Methane)

Yeh Cat sells gensets just for this purpose, so definately a way to do it.  Read an article where a guy was mixing a slurry of h2o, dung and straw in a plastic barrel and capturing the methane in a rubber bladder then running his kitchen stove and gaslights in his house with it. I thinki it had to be well grounded to avoid static electricity on the plastice parts.

I bought some pushrods from Maine via Fleabay and the shipping was as damn near as much as the parts, which were pretty high.  Are the part sources drying up?

I think it's Stamford with an "M" not a "N".  Look on the Cummins website.  I'm pretty sure they use Stamfords on their generators.  I think switching between phases might be as simple as a voltage regulator adjustment.  Not positive but you should get a definate on the website.

How about we pool our money, buy an island and form our own country?  Call it little Listerville!

It's true.  "We the people...."  are letting and have been letting all this happen for so long without any kind of protest to speak of.  My son who is British visited me a few weeks ago and interprets that the 2nd amendment was put in place to form a militia to prevent the government from doing things "We the people" object to.  I wonder what the impact (hypothetically speaking, of course) would be if several million people showed up in Washington excercising their 2nd amendment?

I watched the president last night and IMO he blew it.   He had a strong chance of establishing a true NHS and all he did is suggest a knotted up rats nest of several plans.  It all looks bad to me.

Didn't have time to read all the posts but I can share my experiences while living in the UK for 4 years in 1986 to 1990.  It was excellent and free, no complaints.

Our taxes are about the same. 



My recent experiences with heathcare here in the good ole beloved US of A are:   getting rush through a yearly physical exam in about 12 minutes so the provider could get as many done in an hour as possible to imrove profits.  Having all my ailments basically ignored. 

Having my pharmecutical medications dropped because the insurance didn't want to pay for them anymore. 

1 round of blood tests a month for 4 months totaling $13,000 (yes that is right, thousands), of which I had to pay 20 percent.  I finally told the arthritus doctor I couldn't pay for those monthly blood tests so he told me he couldn't keep me on the arthritus medicine so now I live in alot of pain. 

I spent 5 hours on a gurnee in an emergency room with several other people, with 2 iv's and a few xrays and got a bill for $8,000.  That was my portion. I was sent home after a few shoulder shrugs by the ER doctors because they had no idea why I lost consciousness 3 times that day (no I hadn't been drinking).

I am insured and considered to be lucky to be insured.  God help those who have no insurance. 

I would gladly move back to the UK if I could.  I was once very patriotic, but I really don't care to live in this country anymore.

BTW. In case you haven't figured it out yet,  big corporations = big governement.
