Maybe thats becasue the CO2 froze at around -78.5C

LOL, that was funny jtjf

Its nice to be sitting in the tropics thinking of Buddies sitting on oil rigs in -70C weather. Kind of gives you a warm fuzzy feeling.

i guess that "warm fuzzy " feeling has new meaning on those rigs

Not as warm as the feeling of their bank accounts tho'....

think what you could buy for the system...........

But what system you would need to build it near a volcano to keep it warm

who needs a volcano? just live in the tropics like all sensible people do

Amen to that i can tell you i don't miss the snow will go home for chirstmas maybe 3 weeks max. To much snow at that.

to true Jaymie

makes you think though...............those rigs are the sort of places where AP would really be a good thing. Obviously the living quarters are heated, and you could make use of waste heat from kitchen / engines to warm a poly tunnel.

I'd do a stint on one to set up a system for them no worries. Need to bring every thing you need in one hit though, no bunnings stores nearby. LOL

Hey Steve,
It might be a really good company idea. Providing people in remote places (like oil rigs and mines) with fresh veges and fish and something to do

i'm not a sales person though. IMO gimmick ideas get produced and bought and good viable ideas for some reason fail.

There is always someone else to do the tricky bits..
Stick with the bit you know and in list the ones you dont.

A man and a woman, who have never met before, find themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, the two are tired and fall asleep quickly...he in the upper bunk and she in the lower.
At 1:00 AM, he leans over the side and gently wakes the woman saying, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."
"I have a better idea," she replies. "Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married."
"Wow! That's a great idea!!" he exclaims.
"Good," she replies. "Get your own damn blanket!"
After a moment of silence, he farted
