Brad,
Might have to break out your batteries to keep flying without your yearly fuel replenishment.  Too bad to hear about this, but better to be safe for the time being.

  Was it because of this hokey coronavirus crap?  What a load of crap! The experts calling it a pandemic. The same experts saying that the average symptoms to most people are minor, and that those at risk are those that already have some sort of respiratory disease or other chronic condition. Gee, the same thing as a common cold. If you don't take care of a cold, it can turn into pneumonia, and that can kill you. The same as about 100 other melodies. It's not the coronavirus that gets you, it's the secondary infection, these same experts are saying. I wonder if they were the same experts that warned us about the swine flu??  Anybody else stand in line and deal with huge crowds to get a shot for a disease that didn't exist? I seem to remember coronavirus from previous disaster warnings. foggy memories of it from when I was a kid. Look at your bottle of Listerine and see if it still claims to kill the germ that causes coronavirus. That caused a run on Listerine at all the stores back then. It's also been listed on containers of Lysol for years, and many of the newer bleach type disinfectant wipes, long before CNN grabbed the story and ran with it. It didn't come from China, it's been here all along, there has just never been a need to use it to grab ratings before.  Then there was the SARS virus, which is from the coronavirus family at the top of the list, and it was supposed to have us all dropping in the streets. Countless others in my adult life time. And poor old influenza gets kicked to the gutter. The thousands upon thousands of deaths from this years flu strain among hundreds of thousands of cases and that doesn't garner any interest anymore. I guess if you die from coronavirus, you are more dead or more seriously dead than from the flu?  Fist fights breaking out on air liners because some one has a bad cough or sneezes a couple of times! The NBA just suspended their season! Major sports teams playing in front of empty seats???  Massive layoffs in the travel industry and entertainment industries! Experts telling you not to panic but if you can hoard supplies and lock yourself in your house for the duration of this madness or until they say you can come out?? Talk about your basic fear mongering and inciting a panic! And we'll have to wait about two years for a vaccine, or until just after the November election, which ever comes first!!! And whats worse is they want to take away my toy airplanes!!!!

Yes.  It keeps for years if need be.  I am a little concerned about nitro though.  It all comes from China these days..  They lost a major manufacturing plant last year and we saw a heavy price increase.   Now I'm not sure if it's tariffed out or what.  I'll be loading up on whatever finances and storage allows.

Keeps for years?? Do you mean if unopened? I thought once open and exposed to humidity it degrades and becomes "old fuel", please explain. Perhaps I should buy quarts instead of gallons?

If you keep it sealed an out of sunlight then not much will happen to it.  Many years ago at one of our Nats the Japanese team bought about 25 or 30 gallons of fuel here since it couldn't be shipped in from Japan.  After it was over they still had 16-18 gallons left but couldn't take it home.  They gave it to me.  (all K&B in metal cans)  It took me over a decade to burn it all (now I can burn that in a season and a half) and the last can was as good as the first.  I have since carried five or six gallons over from season to season and it's all good as long as left unopened.  Once opened I do try to use it pretty quickly or set it aside for breaking in engines etc.  One good way I've found to keep OPENED fuel a very long time is to immediately pour a new gallon into a metal can, then extract it from a 1'8" copper tube soldered into the can and not otherwise opening the lid to the can.  I think opened containers allow moisture in which degrades the fuel.  When that happens it can cause strange needle settings but will still run.

Dave,

I have in the past transferred new fuel into a metal lacquer or acetone can so to reduce solar exposure. The idea of soldering a copper tube for emptying sounds good, I wonder if it would be more beneficial to drain off fuel before flying while at home when the indoor humidity is 60% or less.

Steve I doubt it would make a noticeable difference.   And various engines may react differently.  I most notice differences in my high end piped airplanes.  Anything else more typical may not indicate any issues.  When I was doing more training of family and others I'd usually pass this fuel down and couldn't see anything strange in the OS's or classic engines even though I'd sense a change in the Jetts.

T.J. I believe the Nats will go on for a while yet.   I CAN see it ending up as a weekend contest at some local venue or even someones back yard if the FAA and commercial drones get there way.   This might so seriously hurt AMA that it can no longer support the Muncie site or offer insurance to us.  We are safe for at least the next 3-4 years while the arguments go on....after that I'm not sure how many of us will still be non-geriatric.   Those who are may have to go underground........

I witness terrible fuel handling techniques used at most every contest. At virtually every sport flying get-together, guys are filling their tanks with the same (barbaric) techniques we uses as teens, 60 years ago! No wonder there are so many buying into the electrics. Personally, I think the electrification of stunt is a scam!  ;) ;) ;) Steve

   He is one of the last people I trust in all of this. Doctors are human beings and not perfect. Regardless of the diplomas that they have hanging on the wall , they can be complete idiots also and they kill people every day. The worst thing to do is put all of your faith and trust into one person's opinion. That is why people are always told to get a second opinion when they get a diagnosis. This is not a new virus, its always been around and has been dealt with successfully before. Tom Hanks sure looks happy and healthy to me.

Wheat straw makes good paper . Western University has a campus in Sarnia doing research on using wheat straw for cellulose based plastic. Soybeans have been used for plastic since Henry Ford used it back in the 30’s . Paper not so much .

I do have a stash of biodegradable streamer material. Red or blue .

   I have faith in God and my own natural abilities and common sense. I have had my own life put at serious risk by a doctor. I had an allergic reaction to my blood pressure mediation that caused severer face swelling and my tongue to swell. and saw my doctor of several years about it. He told me it was a food allergy and offered me no treatment. After the last episode and spending the night in the ER with my tongue so swollen I couldn't swallow or talk and damn near couldn't breath, I got educated on it by the ER doctors. My doctor didn't agree because I had been on it for so long and threw a written recommendation from my pharmacist for the proper meds in the trash can and said they didn't know what they were talking about! I dropped him like a hot potato and finally found a new doctor, who told me I was lucky the last episode didn't happen in my sleep, or I might not have woken up. I haven't has another episode since.   I have an older brother that checked himself in to the hospital ER with chest pains. He didn't think it was a heart attack, but since another family member had a similar attack with a gall bladder problem, he figured that th was the cause. He answered the nurses question about his general health and such. "Have you had a bowl movement today?"  "yes" was the answer. "Was it dark in color" Again the answer as yes but he added" But I had a hand full of Oreo cookies for breakfast." That little tidbit of information kept in in pain for a week while they discounted gall bladder problems and concentrated on internal bleeding because of the remark about "dark stool."  We argued with the doctor about this and  reminded him about the Oreo cookies, and he said "That has no effect on stool color." I couldn't believe my ears and asked him if he had children and had he ever changed their sh@#y diapers??? They tested him and probed him from both ends and could not find the "internal bleeding." After a week we were ready to pull him out and take him some where else because he was in such distress when they did one more CAT Scan or MRI and finally saw some evidence of gall b ladder issues, and it turned out he had gall stones and an infected gall bladder, which should have been detected in blood tests, but they weren't looking for that because of the misdiagnosis. As he recovered from the surgery, we wouldn't let the doctor in charge anywhere near him. I told my brother that the next time this question comes up, give the ubiquitous "I didn't notice" answer. There are a few more stories, but I'm tired of typing.
    Here in my area, some of the grocery stores are closing early because they are empty! People are buying everything, like it's just before a snow storm or hurricane! People are acting like it's a typhoid epidemic. Across the river the Illinois Governor is closing all the casinos! And if there is ever a state that needs the revenue it's Illinois! So many contradictions by "experts"  and such, so many adjustments in numbers and statistics just tells me this whole thing is one of, the if not THE biggest cluster fudges in human history! I have a regularly scheduled doctors appointment for Monday afternoon, and I'm hoping they don't cancel it on me over all of this.

With the exception of Home Depot (I am advised), there is no longer any toilet paper available in upstate New York. Do I feel we are in a jamb? NAH, Last year while trying to find a substitute for silk span for covering hard surfaces I decided to order a variety of Dr. office paper samples from several of the online paper suppliers. I have about 6- 24" wide rolls, cutting it all up into 6" x 6" squares, I project this should cover us well into 2021 and certainly well beyond this year's election when our president said this all be behind us.

    I just went up to my local grocery store out of curiosity, and the need for some snacks for the weekend and my work lunches. It looked like a typical Saturday at a grocery store with some shelves low or almost empty, an no look of panic on anyone's face. There was even a few rolls of TP on the shelves. I think I can shed some light about this whole thing that partially explains the empty TP shelves that some are experiencing. With the demise of the daily newspaper and other print media as the internet expanded, some of the paper companies moved production to other paper products such as facial tissue , paper towels and toilet paper. As population was also expanding, this makes good business sense and the capacity is there to produce enough and more.. The computer age also brought about a phenomenon called "just in time inventory control."  At most stores that you go into, what you see on the shelves is all that they have on hand of most products. As products are sold and scanned into the register, it is also building a restocking order for suppliers. The shelves are restocked when more product arrives, or not if it doesn't for whatever reason. With a product like toilet paper or paper towels, they are made to order. Product like that is so big and bulky that it doesn't make economic sense to store a lot of it in warehouses, thus it is made to order. it is like a lava flow from the time it's made until it reaches your bath room closet. And most people don't like to keep a lot of it on hand, because of the same size and storage problems.  And like Sparky points out, when this virus scare comes crashing down as a big over reaction, the TP hoarders might be trying to sell some on Craig's List or something!
   In the same vain, another item in short supply is hand sanitizer. I read a story about some guys who make their living trying to predict trends and fads, buy up the items in question, then sell them at obscene profits on Amazon and eBay. One guy featured and some of his friends caught on very early in the corona virus frenzy in December and January. They went to every store that they could and bought whole stocks of the stuff, and started to sell it on Amazon and eBay. When things really hit the fan and people started to call out such profiteers and carpetbaggers, eBay and Amazon started restricting their accounts.  One guy interviewed said he was stuck with almost 18,000 bottles of hand sanitizer. One little known fact that I know about this stuff, is that it has an expiration date and a pretty short shelf life. One of the active ingredients changes state and becomes a known carcinogen! It would be interesting to know if the guy knows this or not, and would really be poetic justice if he doesn't!
   I still say that by Easter or Memorial Day this will all be over and some one will have egg on their face.

      And it's not the virus that gets you, it's the secondary infection it can cause if you have a weakened immune system or some other kind of existing serious health issue just like the common cold or flu viruses.. That part is always left out, and now that there is a butt load of money flowing now, it won't get mentioned much either so people can take advantage. Younger people or anyone that is just plain healthy has nothing to worry about from it any more than they would about a common cold. I saw this video just before logging on here and is probably the most common sense I have heard about this in almost two months! I don't put too much faith in these celebrity doctors but this guys seems more down to earth than most of them. I especially like his comments about the un-necessary panic and those who are fanning the hysteria:

Humans are very gullible in nature.  I quit getting flu shots years ago as every time I got one I would get very sick.  Even sick enough to lose work.   Wife and her sister went to Wal-Mart and said it was depressing to see the empty shelves.  The store had put a limit on amount of certain items that could be bought, which to me is a farce.  I could go in buy my limit and walk out the store and put it in the trunk.  Then go back in and do it again.  I still wonder who is pocketing the money that is being gain from this scare.  Look at the statistics,  150,000+ known infections for this the total of this piece of space rock we exist on.   As Dan said and several people in the know the statistics show the SARS virus killed more people in the us than the known infections we now have.  The media, all of it like to exploit and go over board on reporting.   Think if this was so dangerous why are doctors, nurses and other medical people getting involved?   Do they have the drug to prevent infection off themselves they are hoarding.   Yes older people who have health issues are in more danger.   Any way the hoax is working in that the economy will be destroyed with every business be closed.  Any way I don't plan on hibernating because of this.  I'm done for now. mw~

we at our house are pretty good to go as always.
No TP shortage at our place as we always have had extra on hand.
But we do have a couple back ups just in case.
Cleaned out a few old moving boxes from years ago yesterday and found 2 SEARS catalogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, we have emergency TP if needed.   #^ #^

And the Giant, Safeway, Food Lions here as well as Wally Mart, ect. are pretty much
out of everything.
The amount of shoppers in the stores looked like it does just before a big snow storm hits.

Got tired of cutting up Dr. office paper and decided to get smart for once. Go to Amazon and look up the following, unable to copy link here it's too large.

Luxe Bidet Neo 120 - Self Cleaning Nozzle - Fresh Water Non-Electric Mechanical Bidet Toilet Attachment (white and white) $79.00

Doesn't this sound like a fresh solution?

Humans are very gullible in nature.  I quit getting flu shots years ago as every time I got one I would get very sick. 

I don't do flew shots either as a matter of fact last month I got a piece of metal in my eye and had to go to the emergency room to have it removed. The nurse tried to give me a tetanus shot I said no thanks. She asked me when my last shot was. I said let me think. Then I said 1974 but I guess I lied they probably gave me on on my last bike accident but I was out of it. So that would be 1989. I did think about it as let them give me on anyway.

 At least active AMA members receive a fresh supply of emergency TP in their mailbox each month.  ;D

No one said it was a HOAX. The more I hear it might be more contagious than I first thought. They are talking about negative pressure containment rooms. That doesn't sound very reassuring.

    I never said it was a hoax either. it just seems really funny that all these celebrities that are "getting sick" and they are only having symptoms similar to the common cold. Yes, older people with existing conditions are at risk, but they are also at the same risk for about every other communicable illness for the same reasons! And they may be what is actually killing them. Check out that link to a short video that I posted before. There is NOT enough of that happening. That is effort to calm people's fears. I have heard other similar interviews where prominent doctors are saying that if you are a normal, healthy person, your reaction to the virus will be mild, no danger, no more than from a cold or flu.. Your chances, statistically , are greater for dying from the flu than from Covid19. That is not to play down the need to be careful and take proper precautions, but not trying to put forth the positive things just fans the flames of hysteria. How many people are going to potentially transmit the virus, if they have it, by standing in lines waiting to pay for the hoard of toilet paper that they are buying? All these celebrities that have contracted it should be doing public service videos telling people the truth about it's effects. Yes, people have died, but that is what happens at the end of your life for various reasons. Ain't none of us getting out of this alive, and you ain't gonna save everybody. That may sound mean, but it's a fact of life, and death. I'll wager right now that more people will die from distracted driving this year than from Covid19. If it were something like the Andromeda strain of ebola that would make you froth at the mouth and other nasty reaction while walking down the street, that is a different story. We all know what AIDS is and it's impact on the population, and that never triggered this kind of reaction. What upsets me the most is the way this is affecting the stock market and one whole hell of a lot of people's lives, that it doesn't have to. And now you have the idiots like Nancy Pelosi and AOC wanting to pay people to stay home indefinitely. If you want to really put the economy in a tailspin, that will do it! The democrats are being two faced trying to sneak all sorts of pork and earmarks for their pet projects and such through instead of focusing on the "emergency" at hand. I still believe that the virus didn't float over hear from China, it was already here and for who knows how long. The symptoms mimic a common cold, and who doesn't go through a winter without getting a cold? There are lots of cases of people infected with it that have not traveled out of the country, or had contact with anyone who has. You just suck it up, buy some NyQuil, and carry on. Unless you get some sort of test, you won't know what you have and who goes to the doctor every time they have a cold?. It's from a known family of viruses, including what causes the common cold. This is all information I have gleaned off the internet looking past all the bad stuff and sensationalized stories. Imagine what we are all missing in the way of REALLY bad stuff and diseases while we are all focused on this one?  And all the useful, truthful information. For you guys that are planning on this year's NATS, how long before the AMA put the cabash on that? They are closing fast food dining rooms and restaurants to limits the crowd exposure, but tomorrow is an election day for a lot of states, and they say the elections must go on! Even though I can't go to McDonalds and eat in! Or go to a local bar and have a beer with some friends. This all just has to be a bad dream!

 All schools, bars, restaurants, gyms and churches joined the already long list of closures over just the past day here in Minnesota.

 There are group size number limits on all gatherings that have not already been cancelled altogether.

 The Mall of America is still open.

 Really?

Rolling back to the subject of TP again I found another good source with an excellent supply. I called a restaurant supply company and found gold. Don't bother with the janitorial supply companies they are exhausted like most stores. A 96 roll carton of double-ply "extra comfort" style at $.74/roll saved me $24.00 for the same quantity at the grocery.

This self-quarantine leaves you with entirely too much time on your hands.

 Much better than what you'd have on them if you ran out of TP.  :)
