I have a buddy that fixes up forclosed homes in eastern Colorado. Recently he got some equiptment from me to clean up around a house that was a mess. Once the loader operater started digging out trash piles he started digging out Powerine signs, but neither one of these guys knew what they were so they just kept ripping them up. Then he told me about it, he said "we dug up some signs that said That good powerline gas, I said you mean Powerine gas and, he said yeah somthing like that red and white". Thats when I got sick, so I brought them back to work and this is whats left! He said there is probably a lot more there in a big trash hole with all Powerine stuff buried (and possibly Power-Lube stuff), They just skimmed the surfface there could be several of them in there.

The bank has a closeing going on right now so nobody's alowed in or I would be there. But maybe I'll ask the new owners if I can dig in the trash hole, who knows prbably won't care. Definatly use a shovel this time.

Is it just me or would you want to be in the middle of no where, with Scott, when you hit the motherload of powerine signs. He might do somthing crazy with his shovel and nobody would here from you again. LOL just kidding I'll let you know what I can find out there would be plenty of digging.

Think you should volunteer to be the backhoe/skip loader operator.

Just go tell the new owners there were gasoline items found there and you must clean out the whole area before EPA shuts them down. white coveralls and a yellow hat they will believe you.
Remember you are only as good as your help
If you don't make any noise no one will hear you!
