Photo Migration







Recycled Web Page



___________________________________________________



Imagine my
surprise!  It's good I dilly-dallied.  You may be wondering what
happened to my photo albums at SONY IMAGESTATION?  It's going to fold come
February so I opted as they had instructed in transferring the photos to their
SHUTTERFLY connection. I was soooo shocked when I finally looked yesterday at my
SHUTTERFLY photos!!!  I did not have the time to review all before because
of the holiday.  There there in one of my album covers was a
blatant photo of a sexy naked woman, bare-breasted and all! Who's the
crazy dude who did it there at SONY IMAGESTATION I'll never
know! Having sanitized some I'm going to share, forward and link again
to you my dear batchmates & friends the new home of my photo albums. 
Happy looking!

  TIPS ON PUMPING GAS (Good information)

  I don't know what you guys are paying for
 gasoline.... but here in California we are also
 paying higher, up to $3.50 per gallon. But my line
 of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so
 here are some tricks to get more of your money's
 worth for every gallon.

   Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in
 San Jose , CA we deliver about 4 million gallons in
 a 24-hour period thru the pipeline.  One day is
 diesel, the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline,
 regular and premium grades. We have 34-storage tanks here
 with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons.

   Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early
morning when the ground temperature is still cold.
Remember that all service stations have their
 storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the
 ground the more dense the gasoline.  When it gets warmer,
 gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in
 the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon.
 In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and
 the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet
 fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an
 important role.  A 1-degree rise in temperature is a
 big deal for this business. But the service stations
 do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

   When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger
 of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will
 see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low,
 middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping
 on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are
 created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump
 have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast
 rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank
 becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and
 back into the underground storage tank so you're
 getting less worth for your money.

    One of the most important tips is to fill up when
 your gas tank is HALF FULL (or HALF EMPTY - however
 you want to look at it). The reason for this is, the
 more gas you have in your tank, the less air
 occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates
 faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks
 have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as
 zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere,
 so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service
 stations, here where I work, every truck that we
 load is temperature compensated so that every gallon
 is actually the exact amount.

   Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck
 pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy
 gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is
 being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and
 you might pick up some of the dirt that normally
 settles on the bottom.

   Hope this will help you get the most value for
 your money.

   DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS!
