On Sunday I got to check out a local homebrew biodiesel setup. This guy has been making and using it for 2 years to heat his home and power his 2 vehicles for around .75 per gallon from waste vegetable oil (obtained for free from restaurants).
This past weekend I took care of a project thats been floating around in my mind for awhile. My friend Jeff has many cedar trees on his property some of which are dead. I used some to construct an arbor, I still need to get some smaller pieces to add for cross-bracing. It should look real nice when it grows over which I predict will be before the end of the summer based on how many times I have to trim it
I've been pretty active in the grassroots campaign for Ron Paul here in PA. Getting petitions signed to get delegates on the ballot, doing literature drops in my voting precinct, putting up signs, etc. On April 15 I went with some other supporters to a Freedom Rally on the west lawn of the Capital. It was a beautiful day and there were some good speakers including Ron Paul. Some of the views expressed were of the 'fringe' type but the overall message was about how our government wastes our tax dollars. Here is a brief video I took with my Canon digital camera:
Here are some photos:
So our primary was last week. Our main goal was to get our delegates elected to the convention so they could vote for Ron Paul because they are unbound. We had 66 running but only 5 won slots. The GOP party did a good job manning the polls with their sample ballots, in every precinct that we had someone there with our sample ballots our delegates placed high and so did Dr Paul. In my district he got 35% of the vote!
I found out the night before that there was no one running for Committeman in my district so with little notice I ran as a write-in and won with 33 votes (needed 10). Committeeman is the lowest elected position in the party. I was at the poll most of the day and people loved the costume!
