Ethanol overload Its bad for your mower and other small engines
Oregon Local News


VANCOUVER, Wash. - The gasoline you buy for your car may be ruining your other machines.

If your lawn mower is making a sound like "vrum, vrum,vrum," instead of a ...

Oregon

Mdg, you said Oregon is beautiful from July to September which based on the picture you put in the forum I can tell it is! Can you tell me how are the winters in Oregon? You guys get snow? How are the people? Lots of races/ethnicities or not really?

Pandora hi there!

What can I tell you about my state -

From about October - June it can be rainy, wet, and cold. And yes we get snow. I will post a photo for you in the gallery. Mostly it's rainy and grey. I am now 50 and the Winters bug me so I am planning on going away for a month each Winter like retired people do *smile* Many travel to Arizona or Florida from about Halloween (Oct 31st ) through the end of May (Memorial Day weekend).

In the summer you do need an air conditioner (At least I think so), the growing season is about from Mother's day through the end of September. We often get Indian summers which are my favorite.

Winter can be unkind -- we get snow and ice but it never lasts a really long time.

People are very kind -- we have a mix of liberal, conservative, and independent. It's very diverse, people from all walks of life -- Christian, Jewish, Atheist, Agnostic, etc...

We have churches like - LDS - lots of LDS wards I believe. One of my best friends is LDS and in Portland there's a gorgeous temple. We have a Cathedral and synagogues, mosques etc...

It's a college town and we have many colleges and universities.

Very diverse -- lots of ethnicity -- many same sex couples etc...

If I ever go back to live in the US, I would seriously consider Oregon. I really like states with lots of green and fruits trees and those sort of things. Of course, since I would be a minority diversity is very important to me and it seems like Oregon has it all.
