Had something like that happen with a circular saw with a blade safety that would stick. I was really glad to be wearing Carhart's that day. Had a 15" hole in the Carhart's but no blood.

Glad you are okay!

Our wooden BGE cart was deteriorating so since it is right next to the pool bar I decided to just do a basic cart. Lumber prices were a consideration as well.

My wife Ann Claire aka AC decided to check it out.

If you have some time and want a good laugh, watch this video. I will warn you there is some foul language throughout the video so just be aware.

I have a not-so-easy question for those wanting to answer... for fun!

If I need a 50:1 gas/oil mixture of 6 gallons, what is the EXACT amount of oil I need to only give me 6 total gallons? I am not talking about adding a mere 16ozs of oil to 6 gallons of gas. Because that gives you 6 gallons and 16ozs total mixture. I am talking about 6 total gallons with the 50:1 mixture included. I remember some of this in chemistry class but since forgot how to do a precise calculation. I think there is a formula for figuring it out. And this is merely for fun... Just interesting, for no other reason. Any ideas?

If my math is correct, and I am looking at this correctly, you are looking at 752.62 oz (5.88 gal) of gasoline to 15.36 oz of oil.
50/1 = 128x6/X
50/1=768/X
1X=768/50
X=15.36 oz of oil.
768-15.36=752.62 oz of gasoline or 5.8798437 gallons.

Well I got very similar answers. Does your method hold up for any percentage calculation? I remember chemistry class where we had to do such equations for so many solutions using the solute and solvent. And you couldn't just add in the amounts together because then the ration changes depending on the total volume you were talking about. And I thought there was a interesting formula we used to do it. But that was centuries ago...well a lot of decades anyways... lol Chemistry was not my best subject...electronics was!

Don't forget the rate of evaporation and time consumed doing the mixing.😁

Honestly, this wasn't even for mixing fuel. I just used that scenario to explain what I was asking. But I guess evaporation could be figured into most any solution...IDK lol
