David has suggested that I add the letters I have written to various people, to this site. Do I start my own group, or a blog or what?

Much thanks, J.

My wife and I started test plots of different heirloom veggies last year and will continue this season.

If you have specific questions about plans, ask away--I have so many ideas shoehorned in my mind, sometimes they are difficult to retrieve without a good prompt.

I didn't notice any real big driveability changes, except a little lag on the acceleration. It was a little bit harder to start and I got about eighteen mpg where I normally will get closer to thirty. I can't take the plung into total E85 because I have to go outside my town once in a while.

At 5:31pm on October 8, 2008, mike quick said…: Thanks for the reply Robby, I hope he can come our way, it sure would be easier to reach him than having to go out west, and I hope my foot is healed real soon I'm chomping at the bit to get back to making some real alcohol, if you know what I mean for fuel that is. I don't drink the stuff only burn it.

At 1:49pm on October 7, 2008, mike quick said…: Hey Robbie I would be interested in a Dave Blume workshop on the east coast lets see if we can get him to come out and teach us some new tricks of the trade. Let me know if you have any way of getting him to commit.
Thanks Mike

At 1:46pm on October 7, 2008, mike quick said…: Hello Robby the answer is AT&T and yes I am running some of my vehicles on e85 and hope to be on pure alcohol as soon as I get my foot heeled from surgery this past month. I hope you are doing well and are in production or soon to be,drop me a line. Mike

At 8:39pm on October 3, 2008, Jackson Bowman said…: When I do I'll Probably convert using the White Lightning kit. I think that's the one that Dave recommends in his book.

Egad! Get a life!
I'm 55 years old, over the hill--- it doesn't matter if I waste my life. :)

At 9:33pm on October 1, 2008, Rick Ralston said…: So my first reaction to David's book was that it read a lot like a text book (not a bad thing). As I was reading it I found a lot that I wanted to try, to make sure I understood before moving on. I would be interested in workshops in my area but kind of feel like there is no time. I haven't got my still built yet and this frustrates me a bit.I now hope to be distilling before the holidays.

Not much alcohol fuel happening here other than 10% corn spirits added to gasoline.

At 5:50am on September 29, 2008, Ken Benway said…: Hey Robby,
PDC stands for Permaculture Design Course.
My site is work in process although I've come a long way. One third acre in the most densely populated county in Florida. Won't be easy growing 100% of food supply for family of three, but we are going to give it a shot. Some trees (invasive species) have to go before I plant a bunch of fruit trees.
Thanks for the line,
Ken

At 2:30pm on September 28, 2008, JS Ohlander said…: We are blessed to have so many E85 stations here in MN. So I just fill it up with that. Just first steps for me.

My wife and I are considering converting using the White Lightning kit.

Next step is to read the rest of the book and decide what to do next. Build a distiller? Grow our own? Set up a community?

So many options!

Still learning about alcohol fuel. Right now, running about 30% alcohol fuel on our unconverted 2002 Turbo Beetle. Workin' great!
