yeah but i was raised by a drunk inventor. dad was a wild man with a torch and welder. he was much better with sheet metal. and a friggin artist with neon signs. when i was 12 my room was covered with neon tubing taken off dead signs. i had these 17,000 volt transformers all over the floor. i would hook them up to the neon. had lots of friends over to my basement.

mom made turkey sandwiches for all of them. they used to come in the back door at night and we would sit and talk under the neon canopy of my unfinished basement dome.

i took my future wife out on a date in a 1949 ford ladder truck. we went to the park and sat at the top of the ladder after i ran it up. 25 foot up in the parking lot. told her i was going up to pick a star for her.

we married a few months later.

so now i am in the over fifty set and inventions seem really cool. so a methane digester could be my girlfriend come spring. about 2500 gallons a load would be sufficient. yep. that outta handle it. storage of the gas may be difficult but i saw this stack of tubes holding the gas in this one drawing i downloaded. only need about four psi to pressurize it for stove or furnace. but i could use a small pump to pressurize a tank in my truck........
