Doing some gardening. Stuck a couple of new plants in the ground and put some vegetable seedlings in pots. 2 25 litre pots on the front porch, facing north to get as much sun as possible and planted some Broccoli, Carrots, Silverbeet and Brussel Sprouts. Once the weather warms up, I can always move the pots to another area or stick some more in the back yard, amongst the shrubs.

Now, can someone tell me where to buy a Steak tree?

Why did you do that?
--->acetone in fuel said to increase mileage

40 ltrs = 1-3 ounce of acetone

In 50 ltrs I put 2 ounce's.

I purchased a 1 litre bottle of 100% acetone at Bunnings for $12
I have been thinking about this acetone thing for days, any motor mechanics around on this board that can say this works, and what type of damage it might do, if any, to a fuel injected motor?

Try these. Apparently it was tried on Mythbusters (I haven't seen it) and didn't work, butthat wouldn't be the first time they couldn't recreate things that have happened (much as I love the show).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6HDfacIxs0

i've put the link in two threads on Nicks and they've both gone unnoticed hehe :oops: 'cos i'm still a bit hesitant to show it to her. it will either be very good or very embarresing :S so i was trying to get some feedback by strangers to see if its understandable or corny or whatever...

but stuff it.....life's full of risks aint it? i'm taking the risk and showing it to her.

i'll tell you guys what happens. Either in this thread, or the "what pisses you off" thread :lol: :lol: :lol:

After 5 days of punching nails, removing staples, patching and sanding, I've managed to put on a couple of coats on my floor boards. One more to go and I'm almost ready to move in :D

Dunno. I like it, but personally, I don't think any woman's worth the trouble putting a video together for. I know that sounds a little harsh but I feel that if you need to do that to win her over then perhaps she's not for you. That's my honest opinion. Mate, you seem like a pretty funny and intelligent bloke. Should be enough to get your foot in the door, at least. :wink:

^haha appreciate that franki. i agree with you though, i never care much for over the top gestures to win someone over

this is a different situation,

the girl is in australia that i left behind now obviously because im overseas, on mutual terms we agreed to break up but i dont know i still have strange feelings over her, still think about her etc and not sure where she is at because i left in a sudden.

i guess closure is what i didnt get,

anyways i made the video just for her to have something to remember me by, maybe? or to keep thinking about me??

truthfully i dont know but i felt like doing it lol. if only to make me feel better


i know i sound lame haha
