    The Japanese used recycled metal in the 70's, giving them the edge as the US later had to play catchup.

    My father had a corvair and he loved it, I remember it from when I was really little. Not a great family car and was replaced by a ford station wagon with a big 8 cylinder. My mom would hit the gas and we'd be pinned to the seats. That was followed by a 70's impala which had to have it's motor...

    Started my solar project

    I am talking about EV, LIon etc batteries. Lead acid are pretty good for the internals. Allowed to charge a $10 core fee, means most get returned. External parts probably go to the dump.

    I have been on high speed trains in many countries. I think the bullet to Kyoto from Tokyo was about $100. In Spain and Italy even cheaper for the high speed trains.

    Started my solar project

    Batteries have no waste solution either. Don't make money on post sales recycling and disposal. How do you make it worthwhile for companies to recycle or make more repairable if their is no $ made? Of course laws could be passed, and then, as usual, forward motion stops.

    I hope you have good luck with insurance. Carry a notebook or something and write stuff down as you think of it or see it. Lookup the current cost to replace to help negotiate. Hope this gets through quickly and you do well. Fire/water damage is a pain. Make sure you understand cleanup costs too.

    In my old neighborhood, anything heavy that would fit in the standard UPS truck was loaded. The poor driver had to try and finagle it out of the truck. Most of them would just push it out of the back, ensuing in plenty of damage. I knew the driver pretty well, and he told me they really gave...

    The arm that goes to the second track would be torqued if the drag on either side was greater. Forget about switches, the Arm or the bike would twist change the direction of mass quickly.

    We used to wander into the woods, sometimes staying overnight when we were kids. The forest is about 10,000 acres and surrounded by open space and farms. Luckily none of us ever got seriously hurt. No one out side of us knew where we were, lots of trails, many old logging paths etc. We never...

    Good morning!!!!

    The dead buck mystery continues. It looks like it was healthy, and then not. I went down to mark it so the DOT people could find it easier or to move it if I had to. Well, it seems the deer levitated about 40' into the woods (with nearby tire tracks) sometime between 7am and 12:30. Now, even...

    Strange things found in the forest

    I found a 6 point buck right next to the shared road. Quite dead, but looks like it had been healthy somewhat recently. When I went back about 30 minutes ago, it seems the deer levitated about 40' back into the woods. And new tire tracks mysteriously appeared. So much for local hunters.
