Mr Kapaun, my most humble apology. I am not computer literate, yet, so I was not aware the two items I sent were not to be together for the readers. I had the filler cap off while I was cranking the engine over to get the gasoline out of the cylinder. That's when the air/oil residue came out the filler. It would appear I need to seek a repair person locally to fix the engine, as I am having a difficult time putting in words what the engine problem is. Again, to all, I apologize for my making two entries on the same problem. Thank you all so much.

Container growing is great IMO I am going to go with 15-20 gallon Tan colored Smart Pots next year. Going to re-use most of my potting mix from this year, but add some pine bark fines and large vermiculite. Then going to make a complete cover for 6-8 Dwarfs that I plan to grow. Have 4 corners made of plastic coated steel tube then pvc connectors and pvc pipe in between to make a top. Then make a cover of fine white screen which lets plenty of sun through but cuts down on insects by at least 90%. Use velcro as an opening. With the proper pots and potting mix you cant over water.

The towels that tie or hang on a handle are always useful. Not enough time to crochet tops, but perhaps you could sew tops and ties for them using scrap fabrics. Or maybe you could "pamper" them a bit, and go to Michael's dollar bin for some bottles of lotion. Tie them in a circle of fabric or netting to make them look festive. Flavored coffees or teas are always a good choice too. Plop a bow on them or do the circle of netting idea to make them special. If you have a 99 cent type store, they usually have the small potted plants. Buy some of those and tie or hot glue a pretty bow on the pot. Most women love getting plants. Or since you work in a feed store, perhaps you have access to some birdseed. How about creating a birdseed ornament they could hang in a tree or on their patio? I'm sure you could google for instructions to make them wildlife safe. Luvs

I saw the news report online this morning. What sickened me was the picture of the photographers (paparazzi) with their cameras pushed up against the rear windows of the ambulance, taking photos of her on the gurney inside the vehicle. Geez, she's a wreck, but she's still human and still entitled to some privacy.
