Petrol engine to replace batteries?

I don't know if it's a joke or not It's from 2007, I notice. Can't see 'em in our e-cigs somehow.

scylla ???

Lol Scylla, I kinda don't fancy the idea of filling up my e-cig with petrol

[Perpetua]

Grief no Scylla, I wouldn't trust myself with a petrol driven lawn mower, let alone an ecig.

Is that a joke ??? I wouldn't want to use it either, lighter fuel is highly flammable.

Perpy, I have been using gas (petrol) powered lawnmowers for years with no problems....except for the one time, when I was a teenager, when I inadvertently had one foot on the spark plug and the the other one on the ground. When I started it, the electric current shot up my leg and out my left arm. I never did that again !!!!

OMG Jerry

[jerryrm]

Scyll, it was quite a shock, (pun intended).

Strewth Jerry!

No, I know my limitations - anything involving a combustible liquid, is a complete no go for me - the same applies to power tools.

[Chrissie]

(((Jerry))))

Perpy, I'm OK with using most power tools but always been a tad scared at the thought of using a chain saw. had a scary experience with a circular saw attachment once

[Perpetua]

Sounds frightening Chris.

My main problem is, I never bother reading instructions, they're always so technical and horribly boring, so it's best I don't attempt to use anything that can endanger life or limb.

Perpy, I was raised using power tools, I have to be extra careful, because I am too comfortable with them, that's when a person gets hurt.

Chrissie, I have used both electric and gasoline powered chain saws. Extreme care is required when using them.

Jerry I wish I could get over my fear of chain saws - could get access to some free fuel for my log burner if I did so

That would be nice, Chrissie. Get a small 12" chain saw, wear leather gloves and boots. Start small, cutting branches. The big logs, require a bit more care, because if not done properly, they can bind and kick back the saw. Always keep a tight grip on the saw, with both hands. Stay away from cutting down trees until you are really comfortable with using a chain saw.

That is my chain saw lesson for today. That is all, have a nice day.

....and I have more firewood, than I know what to do with. I just noticed several large trees in my woods, that were uprooted by the recent storms.

Have you ever thought of moving to Rhode Island ???

Ah, this is where we differ Jerry, I was raised using knitting needles , although they still do have their hazards.

Most definitely Perpy, I wouldn't want to be impaled on a knitting needle.
