So that van ran for 30 hours and nobody reported it?

Amazing but true. At idle, that big ol' V-8 is very quiet.

After 'Movie Night' concluded tonight (a double feature, BTW, with the
REAL "Memphis Belle" World War II documentary film, and "One Six Right"
-- the absolutely terrific movie about Van Nuys airport, released last
fall)

Great movie "One Six Right", I wish they would make one about about
GA Aviation as a whole, to include other airports around the country.

...I had moved the van back three feet to mow the grass.
I didn't want to just start it and stop it right away, cuz it
hadn't been run in a week, so I left it to warm up, and resumed mowing
the lawn.

That was last week, Friday. Today is Tuesday.

It had a full tank. 30 U.S. gallons...


I did something similar, only mine was with a new boat and a very
quiet Yamaha 4stroke engine (03' 115hp).
After pulling up to the dock I let the engine run so that could continue
entertaining my guests with music and lights and all the rest of the
electrically powers items while I began off loading the boat.
After which we went out to dinner and later that night I return to
the boat just to make sure I did leave anything behind.
Much to my surprise as I approached the boat I could see
the pee hole was still spitting water out, that's when I realized
the engine was still running.

BTW - Here in SC 30gals = 77usd.

The Gas Grill is my nemessis.

I leave it on "High" (lid down) to clean it for 10 minutes, after the meat's
been served - which invariably turns into hours more often than not.

My job: Setup, clean, cook, serve.
Her job: Remember (for me) to turn grill "Off" ...while we're eating.

Sounds just like our house.

Hahaha... I've done that. Only one time, I forgot there was a burger
near the back where I didn't notice it. An hour and a half later, I
remember the grill's still on. I shut it off, open it up, and there's
the burger. Ugh. So I go to scrape it off with the spatula, and it
dissolves into a pile of ash when I touch it.

Yummmmmm.....

Ok, what will clean chocolate milk off of my monitor!!??!!
Thanks Jay

Wait for Jay's next post and take a big swig of rubbing alcohol before

After 'Movie Night' concluded tonight (a double feature, BTW, with the
REAL "Memphis Belle" World War II documentary film, and "One Six Right"
-- the absolutely terrific movie about Van Nuys airport, released last
fall) -- one of our guests for the night, a pipeline pilot, asked to
borrow our courtesy van to fetch a bite to eat.

He came back in a couple of minutes later, to report that the battery
was dead, and that he had found the key turned to the "on" position.
None of us could figure out why anyone would do that, when it suddenly
dawned on me...

...I had moved the van back three feet to mow the grass. The front
bumper was overhanging the lawn, and I only needed to move it a bit.
However, I didn't want to just start it and stop it right away, cuz it
hadn't been run in a week, so I left it to warm up, and resumed mowing
the lawn.

That was last week, Friday. Today is Tuesday.
