Eurica, that's it.
All along I've been wast'in my time concentraiting on the big stuff (golfballs sized and bigger) when all I had to do was concentrate on the smallest stuff(like pee in the jar and smaller) and I wouldn't have wasted so much effort on what did not warrant my effort.
after though- does anyone know how to convert a D.D.engine to run on peeeeeeee? I think it is time to hit the road! |

You could make hydrogen and burn that,
