A small bottle of febreeze (or something similar) can drastically extend the wearable time for clothes before they need to be washed.
Take an old sheet, and sew it into a pocket (stitched about 1/3 of the way up) for you to lay in, and a pocket at the top for a pillow (stuff with extra clothes, keeps them from sliding around).
I made a quilt (not a grandmothers quilt!) out of essentially sleeping bag materials. Its essentially a one-sided sleeping bag that fits over my linen pocket (above) that I can use in cold climes.
You'll note the article states that it takes 29% more *FOSSIL* energy than is produced in the ethanol. Also, I just moved away from the Dakotas where I spent five years dealing the environmental ramifications of energy producing dams on the Missouri River, so we would have to consider those costs. Its definitely not free energy, from a financial or environmental perspective.
I'm in Arizona, and I managed to get one easily online, no paper forms at all. I am doing one every 4 months, so it will be a bit before I try the other two.

1. A fugitive Black slave in the West Indies in the 17th and 18th centuries.
2. A descendant of such a slave.
2. A person who is marooned, as on an island.
The intended use of these is really for folks in the field. We use about a dozen we bought from Trimble to drive Pro XR GPS units. We use them to map endangered species nests on the Missouri River, collect all the pertinent info, and sync up to a central database. The info is used for making water management decisions for over a thousand miles of river, so we needed a reliable system to collect near real-time data.
The recon has really exceeded our expectations, conditions in the field can be brutal, temps over 100(F), blowing sand that covers everything, bouncing around in boats, and the occasional dunking. So far no complaints, although like all screens, it is hard to read with polarized sunglasses. I personally have no need for one of these, but for the jobs they were intended to do, they work great.

I've been having the same problem for quite a while. About 80% percent of the time a refresh fixes it. Go figure.

I would argue he is a moron, rather than:

Of course, I don't really know.
Post it twice, shame on you. Read it twice, shame on me!

Yea, like my linux laptop not having one piece of spyware in 3 years.
