I didn't watch it. I knew it was a snuff film. No place in my mornings for that kind of violence.

News:
For those who don't know, regular poster Bob (aka Ajaffa) and his wife recently lost his house and many of their possessions (but apparently not his engines!) to a bush fire. Please see this post for details of an appeal to help him rebuild. Thanks, everyone from LEF.

I think the Lister engine world is populated by people who want to prepare for what might be coming. The engine promises to be maintainable and sustainable. That's certainly what attracted me to this world. While I prep for hurricanes and the Listeroids have been wonderful after the multiple Florida storms, I feel like I fit right in to the prepper group. A group populated by eccentric people, who perceive future risk in a different, and quite possibly more clear, way.
What's this got to do with bigotry, racism and fascism? A clever mind isn't a license.

Climate Change is a hoax by lefties to stop capitalism.
Really neat photo. When's rain scheduled?

Interesting car in the back ground. Are you sure these photos haven't been setting on top of the unit for the past 50 years as well? ;~)
Nice looking job on your lighting factory. I want to hear it run too.

As I remember Powerline was "The" one to purchase back then. Aluminum piston - right?
I don't wish to digress too far but have you decided on an alternative backup power supply?
PayPal charges something over 3% as I remember. National bank to national bank transfers here in the states can be complimentary or around $10. I'd be surprised if Canada hasn't something more friendly for electronic funds transfers.
The bad news is that it's tricky for US citizens to enter Canada. Waiting a couple of months might really increase your market. And those Franklins do carry a nice sized stick.
Good Luck

Thanks.
Something like the tell of craigslist scammers. Ten cents on the dollar and contact information embedded on the photos.
I also like the obituary of the Nigerian Prince that died alone with 25 million dollars in his mattress and an email sent folder with over 4 million invitations for people to help him with his secret fortune.
Aloha

Thanks too.
Too bad they're eating up you time. I'm curious what you do to sort out the spam from the authentic ham or what ever the slang is for valid candidates.

Hey,
I thought the combination of the engine - generator setting in the back of your "storage unit" sounded worthy of a photo or two. If I were to build the same I'd ask "In what universe do you want this?" as it would be a mission impossible situation for me. So if it's a pain in the arss - I get it.
Still a very nice story to read in the morning.

Very nice treasure. Good Luck.
What were you doing on their private property anyway. I hope you know what I mean?

Hmmmm. You're the proud owner of a "glass back" and you're messing about with cast iron machinery that needs cranking. What possibly could go wrong?
