Hello Everyone,
Is this an open invitation to a biodiesel making session this Saturday? =
I
know my husband and his friend would be interested in coming; I am =
really
interested (enough to give up the minivan) but I may be working. Let us =
know
what we should bring- beer, good thoughts, strong arms, whatever....
Thanks, Michelle in Sville
