Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[501Maico]

I believe him. I was peeing what looked like hersey syrup before my operation. sometimes red, sometimes almost black. Doc kept saying kidney stones. Well, I did have a kidney stone, and a mass on my kidney. When I finally convinced the doc it was more than a kidney stone they ordered a CT scan, next day they called me up and ordered a CT scan with contrast, the next day they had me set up with a Urologist, who imediantly sent me to a surgon. The surgon scheduled me a time for an operation. He removed a kidney stone that looked like gravel and a piece of my kidney. Stage 3 kidney cancer, now takin Keytruda infusions every 3 weeks. Surgon says he got all the cancer and the Keytruda is just insurance. My suggestion to the OP, or anybody else that might be peeing blood, is demand a CT scan. I argued with my doctor for 9 months before they decided to order the CT scan. Another 9 months and it could have been stage 4 with no hope.

Same experience here. Almost syrup thick red urine and the doctor was trying to brush me off saying it only takes a few drops of blood to turn urine red. Told him I have been an EMT for almost 40 years and I know about such things. Wanted me to come in for a urine sample and I said the sample will be no good from too much blood, which it was and still red colored.
That night about 3am I had to pee something fierce but nothing would come out. Off to the emergency room and hours of torture trying to clean my bladder out. ER Doc said it was one of the worst he had seen.
About 3 years before this happened, I noticed a couple tiny brown things coming out with my urine and a slight twinge in the area of my right kidney. That was it, nothing afterwards. Doctor did the normal tests and thought it was a slight kidney infection. I know it wasn't much to go on but I sure wish he would have sent me for a CT scan back then which may have saved my right kidney.

Have you proven this out your self and seen results? How long will it keep gas good?

Advertised for up to 2 yrs Wolfy , I usually add it to all my seasonal equipment . So 6 mths is the norm , however I also add it to my Motor home which has been extended stored for numerous yrs and did not notice any fuel deprivation . The other upside is it has quite an effective spot cleaning vs general maintenance dosage levels .

I am going to have to look into this as I usually keep 60-75 gallons of rec 90 on hand here and the ranch. I think I am paying around 55-60$ a gallon for Seafoam so far so good but if there's a better alternative I am up for it

Looks to be a cost effective alternative

Isn’t recreational gas non ethanol? I don’t add anything to the non e and everything is clean and start right up after 5-6 months over the winter . Longest I went with one was about a year . My 64 Hawk started right up ran well ,nothing in the filter after 100 miles

Yes it is, I just do it anyway. I don't know if it does anything or not. Maybe other guys who are way more knowledgeable than me can chime in.

It’s the ethanol that separates from the fuel as it absorbs water . Ethonal in a sealed system won’t phase as long as it’s keep full .
I have friends that wash the gas before putting it in their classic cars basically you add enough water to drop the alcohol out of suspension. Pain in the arss but if you can’t get non e you do what you have to do . Ethanol eats aluminum and carbs are aluminum seen some pitted so bad they seep gas out . Specially after a cheap rebuild where they don’t re coat the aluminum

I have run e-free fuel that I have treated with Stabil and Marval Mystery oil after 3 years and it still runs fine in my small engines.

I guess I clean up pretty good I put the vanity plate over the ugly gold plate with magnets

My son and daughter in law used it for the wedding

Car is 100% original . I even have the original BF Goodrich tires . My dad bought it new and has a little under 30k miles

Never ran any fuel stabilizers. Even when all I could get was E fuel. I think the only problem I had was a primer bulb went bad in a cheapo snowblower I bought. Lawnmower gets E fuel through the summer when I'm running it weekly. E free goes in around labor day for several tanks till mowingseason ends.. I keep a 5 gallon can of E free on hand for the generator. 2 smoke mix is E free.

Be sure and tuck in your tie before you cut wood. I know I always do.

Who's the guy in your kitchen not wearing t-shirt, pajama pants, and crocs? Or is that only for running saws?

There's a HUGE difference between red oak and white oak!

Our old barn was made of white pine, BUT keep in mind those old barns are made from 300-year-old tree's, much different from today's 50- or 75-year-old tree's.
