Hey gals and guys of VA I hope everyone is enjoying what should be a short week.

I would like you all to help me welcome sensibull to the VA Chapter. He comes to us from Chesterfield with a IDI F250. Please make him feel at home here!

 

Thanks again for the warm welcome. New to pickups in general and diesel in particular. Always been a DIY guy, just never learned to work on cars or trucks. I figure a relatively uncomplicated diesel with mostly mechanical (and cheaper) parts was a good place to start, and at some point I want to experiment with running a vehicle on vegetable oil or making my own biodiesel (fits in well with my other hobbies of growing my own food and brewing my own beer).

Anywho... hopes there's room for a newbie ;-)

 

Always room for a newbie! We're glad to have you. We just hope that you'll stick around and chime more than once a month...or less!

So what are some other hobbies? And if you can brew your own beer, and it's worth drinking, then biodiesel shouldn't be too hard. I understand that the setup is the worst part.

 

Too many hobbies, too little gainful employment ;-)

Besides gardening and brewing, I fix computers, do a little woodworking (one-off gifts, mostly, like the truck below for my truck-obsessed nephew), retrofit dead Philco radios with digital brains (Rephil), design concert posters (Wondercabinet), and write fiction.

 

Sweet little wooden truck. Very nice work, but where's the Ford emblem??

 

Welcome sensibull. Feel free to join us in the chat session. There's a lot of peeps in NY converted their vehicles to bio or veggie oil . One of the propane dealers is now offering bio-diesel.

 

Glad you're here.

Welcome,

 

Welcome FROM Chesterfield also !!!

Thanks fellas. Won't be on here much for the next couple days, so I'll just say safe travels and enjoy your turkey in advance.
