I do research (surprise, surprise!!) on anaerobic thermophilic bacteria, particularly methanogenic bacteria and methanogenesis. Essentially, I produce methane from swine wastes, both manure and production processing waste. I am in the 1st stages of converting a 77 Jeep CJ7 to run on methane (CNG) produced from swine wastes. I call it "Pig Power". It has a 324 ci V8 with Keith Black hyperutectic pistons (high silicon) and a lot of other goodies. So if you see a Jeep blow by you with an old white bearded guy laughing, and an exhaust that smells a little like pig poop, it will be me!

Sounds icky, but its FREE fuel to me!

Bavaria sounds good. I just had a visitor from Slovakia that was getting married for the fifth time (each younger than the previous). He says the Slovakian women look pretty good. Maybe a multi-purpose trip is in order.
