Willie Nelson Breaks Ground On Pacific BioDiesel Texas Refinery

Got a press release from Willie’s publicity folks:

WHAT
Willie Nelson will be holding a press conference and breaking ground on a new biodiesel refinery, Pacific BioDiesel Texas, on a 2-acre parcel adjacent to Carl¹s Corner Truck Stop in Carl¹s Corner Texas. The refinery is the latest clean fuel venture with Willie Nelson and Pacific Biodiesel, Inc. of Hawaii. Carl¹s Corner Truck Stop is owned by Carl Cornelius and Nelson, and will be the main distributor of the biodiesel produced at the facility.
The new biodiesel refinery will process different feedstocks into renewable fuel for diesel engines, starting primarily with locally grown cottonseed oil. In keeping with Pacific Biodiesel¹s philosophy of promoting community-based biodiesel production, the venture has partnered with a nearby cottonseed crushing mill and hopes to offer longevity to an industry that has been struggling.

WHO
Joining Willie Nelson for the ground breaking refinery are Bob King, President of Pacific Biodiesel, and Mike Nasi BCOT (the Biodiesel Coalition of Texas).

ASCI around the house

43 folders found an old ASCI file, with helpful tips for around the house.
The file comes from an old BBS. Remember those? Pre-internet. I remember spending hours surfing various BBS’s in the Dallas area on my 24k dail-up.
Oh the memories.

  • A Tea Party for Windows – Leftover tea makes a super window and mirror cleaner–the stronger the tea the better.
  • Silence! – A squeaky floor is usually caused by two or more boards rubbing against each other. Silence the noise by sprinkling talcum powder over the boards and sweeping it into the cracks.
  • Make Your Own Cleaner – Here’s a homemade formula for window cleaner that cleans away stubborn spots. Mix two cups of kerosene into a gallon of warm water. When you wipe the glass, the kerosene leaves an invisible film.

    My friend, Tim, from UMHB has put together a new website to keep people updated on his plans to go to India this year.
    It’s not mentioned on the site, but he’s plugging a new t-shirt he designed on myspace.

    Hey guys, I’ll make this quick…I’m going to India this summer and I’m not good at asking for money so I thought, well people buy clothing anyways, so why not combine a natural event of shopping for clothes with helping someone go on a Mission Adventure Course thing to India. So here’s what I did, I designed this shirt and am selling them for $15. So if you want one, go to www.helptimgo.com and click on India on the map, then go to donation and scroll down to make a donation. Simply do a paypal donation of $15 (or more if you so choose) then shoot me an email at timothyivey@yahoo.com with your size and address and the shirts should be in in a couple weeks. I know that’s kind a long process but since I don’t have an online store that’s the only way I could do it…thanks guys…

    So check it out, it’s a cool looking shirt for a good cause.
    And don’t forget, revenue from all the advertising on this site goes towards my trip to Nigeria in October, including revenue from all shirts purchased at Randomshirts.com (as long as you follow the links from this site).
