Me and neighbor went in on a processor (used) and all the other stuff for it, but its on hold right now, since he re-nigged on processing it, at his pad.

same dilemma here. a half decent rice burner will run a few grand. take that + cost of gas + insurance + who knows what else, and cannot justify it- not yet anyway considering the $100-$200 a month spent on diesel now.
