    Its possible. I've seen the vac's mounted on top of corn storage bunkers. Drop the hose in the bulk container and suck it right into the bunker. Bulk pellet setups also have similar systems.

    We move plastic resin the same way in our plant. Silo's get filled with plastic beads by a vac truck. We have a vacuum pump that sucks off the silo to a holding tank/hopper indoors. Then each molding press has a loader(vacuum) that sucks out of the holding tank/hopper. It also blends regrind that are runners that go through a grinder. And blends it to a ratio depending on the product. Some only use virgin resin so we sell the waste to a recycler.

    Now if I could only get my pellet hopper filled automatically! ;)

    Not me, I don't want an "automatic fill" stove. I like the fact that I fill the stove. It is all a part of the supervision. When I fill the stove, I check it over. Gives me some peace of mind that all is well.

    Well, either of them work for me as being at a healthy weight. So does the circa 1950 version of Better Home and Gardens cook book so I don't see a problem with any of them :D.

    Good work Save!!

    It's hard to do, but those foods you mentioned cutting out, are doing nothing good for you, except maybe a fleeting feeling of satisfaction.

    Keep up the good work!

    The township I live in only has 1 polling place , the fire hall , it tends to get crowded , one year I didn't vote because the line was 1000 yards long and NO place to park :hair::hair:

    Can't blame you for that. I live in a relatively small town and it's always fairly easy to vote. Never had to wait more than 5 minutes.

    I was in and out in 15 minutes or so. Loads of people(50 some odd maybe) but the line moved quickly. Ours is done at the middle school. Plenty of room and 30 some odd booth's??

    I was hoping they were passin out smoothies once we handed in the ballots. :emb: All I got was a sticker! :tears:

    Thats OK, I'm making up for it now! :D

    Wifey voted in the AM and was in and out in minutes. I was gonna but afraid it would have been mobbed. Didn't want to be late to work. So I went after work.
