I use Flonase when allergies are kicking my ass.
I should try that. They have it at Costco for good price. I mowed without a mask 8 days ago and I've been pretty effed up since. I usually mask up for mowing but because it has rained a bunch before I didn't feel it was needed.

It works for me. No drowsiness, or jitters.

Mine are usually only in the early spring when everything is pollenating. Once everything blooms i’m ok.

@Kiwioilboiler just a quick question, on fuel, namely ethanol. We’re going to be getting 10% added, soon. But currently at 5%.

When is the ethanol added and does the ethanol at whatever % make much or any difference to octane rating stated.

There’s alot of worry here, and I can’t see that a premium fuel for cars is any better for 2strokes being it’s a slower burning fuel .


Maybe I should start a what fuel is best thread, to satisfy those guys that frequent the what oil is best thread;)

The ethanol is added to gas when it is pumped into the tanker to be delivered to the gas station.
It cannot be premixed due to regulations. Ethanol will seperate and most importantly it corrodes pipes, tanks, valves.
Octane is regulated with other chemicals when everything is blended.
Lots of regulations for gas. everyday a sample is sent off for testing and that batch cannot be sold until the test results are returned.
We see trucks leaving the fuel supplier with different fuel brands on the truck. The only difference in fuel brands is the additives that is put in the base gas when the tanker truck is being filled.
My neighbor worked many years at the fuel /oil supplier here in town. The ethanol barge was called the moonshine barge due to the smell when it was being offloaded.

The beast Husky 445 is gettin’ unleashed here shortly on a dead 30-ft tree that blew over in galfriends backyard. Trees run if they’re able when this 445 HP animal cranks up! I don’t play that CC game here…
