Jeff/Dave,=0A =0AThis is HUGE!  Thanks much for taking on this leadership r=
ole.  =0A =0AWhat I would ask all the other mixmasters/washers is to help D=
ave/Jeff in the meantime, until they get some traction, is to schedule your=
self for a particular day/time.  All you need to do is go to the website: h=
ttp://www.gobiodiesel.org/index.php?title=3DMixmaster_calendar#Schedule_Fue=
lmaking and edit the page to add yourself to a particular day/time.  Knowin=
g that we need min of 2 people for washing, if several people get their nam=
es out there for some days, then others can come back and find a day/time t=
hat works for them and pair up.  =0A =0AI have seen/heard the frustration f=
rom some who really want to continue the momentum, we just need to communic=
ate our availability.  Once Dave/Jeff are moving with the scheduling, they =
can help this process along, like Tamar was doing for the past months. =0A =
=0AIf you have any questions/problems with editing the website, feel free t=
o contact me.  =0A=0ARight now, for the remainder of Sept, I am only avail =
Wed, Sept 26.  Hopefully others can pair up before then to get some washing=
 done.  =0A =0AThanks.=0A =0APete=0A=0A----- Original Message ----=0AFrom: =
