    We have sea foam here. Didn't know it could be used for stabilizer, but I've used it as a fuel additive for cleaning up the injectors. I've also added to the crank case, and driven around for an hour, then went for an oil change, you shoulda seen the crap that came out with the used oil.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    read the label... works to stabilize too.

    I just finished a two year test. I filled 8 Jerry cans with gas (regular unleaded), and treaed them all with seafoam. I opened one every three months, and used it in whatever needed it (lawn mower, chainsaw, quad, weedwhacker, etc). the last can I just opened about a month ago, and finished in my quad last week, zero issues.

    I wish I would have done a nineth can untreated, and maybe a tenth with stabil to open after the two years, but I didn't think of it. I truly wish I knew about this stuff as a fledgling product, as I would've mortaged my soul for shares! Seriously!

    T I will try and find the Seafoam. Didn't know anything about it.

    This week has been crazy at work (most likely will be all month) so i haven't had time to get much done. I was able to get one of my garden spots worked up and ready to sow a cover crop on. I also left three rows open. Today I planted some cabbage, parsnips, 3 kinds of carrots, 2 kinds of beets, and a row of onions. First real shot at a fall garden and I'm probably late getting it out, but who knows we may have a late fall this year.
    I picked about a pint of blueberries today, which may be my last picking this year. Man are they good. The berries have done great this year, I think we started picking in either late May or early June and to get a decent amount in September I think is awesome. I planted several varieties hoping to spread out the harvest. Apparently that has worked out pretty good.

    Today we planted, broccoli, Armenian cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, Bush beans, snap peas, carrots, more radishes, some kind of long purple beans that turn green when cooked, picked a few more small but tasty maters, planted cross vines, and a fire bush (they can't all be producing plants). Harvested some more of the hibiscus seed pods from the prettiest hibiscus we've ever seen. Red with a star in the center, and extremely heat tolerant.

    I picked butternut and spaghetti squash watermelons this week. I got a few onions and leeks to get yet and a few more melons.

    Also spent quite a bit of time doing some repairs on the BOT (5th wheel) and some major cleaning. Mice and Ants. Nasty shit.

    I got a rechargeable dosimeter and a Radiation Alert Inspector and a Petromax lantern I'm going to rebuild.
