where there`s smoke there`s fire .. i have mentioned a time or three in previous posts that i live a half mile from a cotton gin .. iv`e mentioned the smell of dust and defoliants as they go through the ginning process from october to december .. i may have even mentioned the smell of rotting cotton bows that emanate from the 50 ft high piles of shelled cotton hulls but i dont think i have told of the stink that comes from when the piles spontaneously combust ever year about this time ..and for the last 40 years having the fire department show up and be able to do nothing .. it will just have to burn it self out and i have to hope the wind blows in the other direction which rarely happens ...

What do they do with the ash?
When it's cooled it would be good for your garden.

around here we sometimes get the smell from dairy farms and cattle feedlots in the spring when things first warm up. a few years ago the Farm harvest contractor Did not use a moisture meter when he baled our hay too wet and after a couple weeks the spontanious combustion was starting and some bales started smoking. He had left his big forklift loader and I was able to spread the smoking bales out in the field and they cooled down and the smopke stopped

Sure good to see you back on posting

yes ,, it is always hauled away a truck or trailer load at a time .

as stated in a post or 12 back i am hankering for a 5 speed to go in my pinto .. i dont have clutch pedals yet but i have a lead on a trans ,, a fellow on craigslist locally has a 4.3 S10 with a 5 speed for 1300 bucks .. that`s a few hundred more than i want to spend so i will wait him out till he drops it to maybe an even grand or so .. it may be more than i can deal with as i think the S10 should have a hydraulic clutch .. i have not looked into that yet ..but iv`e figured out worse things ..
