I was cruising the net a couple of days ago and ran across an Offenhauser engine for sale. Not one of the really old long strokes, but the merely 35 year old short stroke, supercharged version. I can't figure out how to convince Mrs. Lucky that it's just a replacement engine for the generator (or why it cost more than our first house).

As to your post #22, you're correct. Most of the folks who claim corn is so energy intensive to grow don't grow corn and, in any event, the average suburbanite uses more gasoline mowing his yard than a farmer does planting an harvesting a 160 acre corn field (modern farm implements run on diesel, not gasoline).
