Fuel costs are quietly eating away at your profit every single week — and most landscapers just accept it as the cost of doing business. But what if you could cut your fuel costs by more than half, get your crews on the job site faster, and actually win more bids because you're running a cleaner, greener operation? In this episode, Scott sits down with Michael Newland from PERC, the Propane Education & Research Council, to break down everything a lawn care or landscape business owner needs to know about propane-powered commercial mowing equipment. They cover the real numbers — commercial accounts running propane at under $1.30 a gallon while gasoline sits near $4 — and why the companies that make the switch almost never go back. Michael also walks through the fueling logistics that scare most people off (spoiler: it's easier than you think), how EPA-certified conversion kits work for almost every major mower brand, what the safety basics look like, and how you can try propane equipment on your own accounts for free through PERC's national demonstration program. If you've been watching your fuel bill climb and wondering if there's a better way, this episode is for you. What you'll learn in this episode: •Why commercial fleets are running propane at under $1.30 a gallon while others pay $4 or more for gasoline •The three ways to handle propane fueling — from simple cylinder exchange to on-site bulk systems •How propane burns so clean it can extend engine life and reduce maintenance costs •Which major mower brands (Exmark, Toro, John Deere, and more) can be converted with EPA-certified kits •The hidden productivity cost of sending crews to the gas station every day •Safety basics for storing, transporting, and swapping cylinders on the job •How to apply for PERC's free demo program and try propane on your own properties   Connect with Michael Newland and PERC: Website: propane.com Email: michael.newland@propane.com Demo Program: Search "propane landscape demonstration program" at propane.com and click Apply Now     Follow Million Dollar Landscaper: Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube   #MillionDollarLandscaper #LandscapingBusiness #LawnCareBusiness #Propane #savemoney #savefuelcosts  

The post 7.8 – America Needs More Energy. Can We Build It Fast Enough? with ClearPath CEO Jeremy Harrell appeared first on Propane.

Send us Fan MailThe power goes out for a week and suddenly every “prep” turns into a question: what do we actually need to keep our family safe and functional? We start with the part most people skip, the math. Instead of buying a generator and hoping it works, we list the real critical loads and estimate watts and daily energy use. Phones for communication, LED lighting, a fan for summer heat safety, a cycling refrigerator to protect food, and any medical devices all add up to a realistic target of roughly 1.5 to 3 kilowatt-hours per day for a family of four.From there, we compare three practical backup power options for power outage preparedness on a realistic budget. First is the simple battery route: quality power banks, LED lanterns, spare AA batteries, battery fans, and a hand-crank or solar NOAA radio, plus a small solar panel for slow daytime top-offs. Second is a portable power station with folding solar panels, what 500 to 1000 watt-hours can really run, and why sun and recharge time matter as much as capacity. Third is the portable inverter generator, including why dual fuel matters, what watt range fits essentials, and how surge watts from refrigerators and other motor-driven gear can trip you up.We also get concrete about generator safety and fuel storage. Gasoline needs stabilizer, dating, and rotation. Propane stores for the long haul but must be kept upright and handled safely. Most importantly, we lay out a simple “run it in blocks” schedule that can stretch your fuel and keep a fridge cold without burning everything in two days. We even zoom out to winter outages, where heat becomes the real critical load and non-electric solutions often win.If this helps, subscribe, share it with one friend, and leave a review so more people can find practical prepping that actually works.

https://jo.my/xly5b7Air Quality and Dock VentilationYou spend eight to twelve hours a day inside these walls. The air you inhale determines whether you stay sharp or start slowing down by noon. Propane forklifts pump out carbon monoxide. It has no smell. It has no color. It just builds up until your headache becomes a real problem. Good ventilation isn't a comfort feature. It keeps your crew alive and your operation running.Here are a few tips to assist you with Air Quality and Ventilation: Install fixed CO monitors at breathing height near every propane engine. Calibrate them monthly. A dead sensor protects no one. Run your HVLS fans on low during cold months. They push warm ceiling air down without creating a wind chill. That keeps the thermostat honest and the air moving. Enforce a "dock doors open" policy during peak traffic. Cross-drafts flush exhaust faster than any single fan can. Blocked doors trap poison. Schedule propane equipment tune-ups quarterly. A rich-running engine pumps out ten times the carbon monoxide of a clean one. The math is simple. Train every operator to spot the early signs: headache, nausea, confusion. Teach them to shut down and step outside immediately. Pride kills faster than gas. As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.Air quality is the silent partner on every shift. Ignore it, and you pay in sick days, close calls, and eventually a tragedy nobody forgets. Respect it and the crew stays sharp, the product moves, and everyone goes home in the same shape they arrived. That is the job. That is the only metric that matters.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE!#Safety #SafetyCulture #StaySafe #SafetyFirst #SafetyTips #StayAlert #AirQuality #DockSafety #Ventilation #CarbonMonoxide #HVLSFans

Most people aren't "failing" keto or carnivore – they're being failed by bad advice, social pressure, and half-truths about what ketosis and red meat actually do to the human body. In this episode of The Plant Free MD, I sit down with British and European Pro Bodybuilding Champion Richard Smith to pull back the curtain on the latest wave of influencers loudly "quitting" keto and carnivore, and what's really going on behind those dramatic announcement videos. What this episode exposes: - Why claims that ketosis "wrecks your hormones," "destroys your thyroid," or "fries your adrenals" collapse when you actually look at human physiology and clinical data. - The real reasons some big-name influencers are jumping ship: algorithm chasing, brand pivots, and trying to market to a wider audience, not because meat suddenly stopped working. - The difference between a well-formulated carnivore/keto diet and the ultra-lean, under-eating, "cheat day" versions that predictably make people feel awful and then get blamed on the diet instead of the execution. Who we are: I'm Dr Anthony Chaffee, medical doctor, former professional rugby player, and host of The Plant Free MD – a science-based, hard-facts podcast digging into optimal human nutrition, performance, and reversing chronic disease with a species-appropriate diet. Richard Smith is a British and European Pro bodybuilding champion who rebuilt his health and physique using keto and carnivore and now teaches evidence-based nutrition full time. Together, we cut through the noise, marketing, and fearmongering to focus on what actually works in the real world. Why you should watch: - You're confused by conflicting messages about meat, cholesterol, ketones, and long-term safety. - You've seen influencers "coming out against" keto/carnivore and want to know if you should be worried – or just unsubscribed. - You want a clear, no-nonsense breakdown from people who've lived this way for years, use it clinically, and aren't pivoting their beliefs to match the latest trend. If you're tired of clickbait "I quit carnivore" thumbnails and want the unfiltered, science-based truth about meat, ketosis, and why this way of eating threatens a lot of powerful interests, this episode is for you.   Join my NEW 90-day Carnivore Challenge group on Mighty Networks below! https://dr-chaffee-s-90-day-carnivore-challenge.mn.co/landing/ If you liked this and want to learn more go to my new website www.DrAnthonyChaffee.com

After 25 years of studying health, disease, and human biology, I've come to a simple but uncomfortable conclusion: Most of what people are told about health is wrong. I'm a medical doctor with over a decade of clinical experience and more than 20 years immersed in research and education. I've worked with patients, studied the literature, and tested these principles in the real world. What I've found is that the biggest drivers of health aren't found in prescriptions or procedures, but in a handful of powerful, practical changes you can make yourself. In this video, I break down the exact strategies I use personally and recommend to patients to dramatically improve metabolic health, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of chronic disease. These are simple, evidence-based interventions you can start at home, often with profound results. We're talking about: -Fixing the root causes of disease, not just managing symptoms -Reversing metabolic dysfunction through targeted nutrition -Understanding why modern lifestyles are making us sick -Taking back control of your health without relying on constant medical intervention This isn't about quick fixes or trends. It's about understanding how your body actually works and using that knowledge to your advantage. If you're tired of conflicting advice and want clear, science-based guidance that actually works, this is where you start.

Episode Date: 05/09/26 Episode Number: 458Episode SummaryThis week on Home In Progress, Dan tackles one of the most dreaded things a homeowner can face — the smell of a dead animal somewhere in the house — and walks you through exactly how to find it, remove it, and get your home smelling normal again. Then he shifts to the practical side of Art Deco: how to bring that bold, geometric style into your own home without going overboard. And finally, Dan makes the case that paint finish is just as important a design decision as color — and shows you some surprisingly elegant tricks you can pull off with nothing more than a change in sheen.In This Episode[01:46] — Dead Animal Smell: How to Find It, Remove It, and Prevent It[19:25] — Art Deco at Home: A Practical Guide[33:26] — Paint Finish as a Design ToolSegments 1 & 2: Dead Animal Smell — Finding It, Removing It, and Preventing It [01:46]Dan's son Caleb bought a house and discovered a smell that turned out to be a dead possum under the floor — frozen all winter, then very much not frozen come spring. Dan uses that story to kick off a practical, no-nonsense guide to dealing with dead animal odors in your home.How bad will it be — and how long will it last? Size of the animal, temperature, humidity, and airflow all determine severity and duration. The rough timeline:Mouse: a few days to about a weekRat or squirrel: a couple of weeksPossum, raccoon, or larger: several weeks — potentially up to two months in a warm, damp, enclosed spaceHow to find the source:Use your nose. Walk slowly, close doors to isolate rooms, and track where the smell intensifies.Check near outlets, baseboards, vents, attic hatches, crawl space doors, and under stairs.Let your pets help — a dog or cat obsessively sniffing one spot is a clue worth following.Watch for blowflies. Large, metallic-looking flies congregating indoors often indicate a nearby carcass. Follow them.Note: the smell often seems to come from vents, but pest pros say the animal is almost never inside the ductwork — it's usually in a wall or attic space near a duct run. The HVAC is just moving the odor around.Once you've found it — how to remove it safely:Wear gloves and a mask, especially in enclosed spaces.Get air moving before you start: open windows, run a fan.Do not sweep or vacuum rodent droppings — that stirs particles into the air and can spread disease. Instead, spray droppings with a disinfectant or a 1:10 bleach-and-water solution, let it soak 5–10 minutes, then wipe with paper towels and mop the area again.Double-bag the carcass and dispose of it per your local regulations.What happens after removal depends on the surface:Hard, non-porous surfaces (concrete, metal, vinyl): Clean promptly, ventilate well, and the smell usually clears quickly.Porous materials (insulation, carpet pad, unfinished wood, drywall, ceiling tile): Decomposition fluids soak in and the smell can linger — or seem to come back on humid days — long after the animal is gone. In these cases, remove the contaminated material, clean with disinfectant, and then apply an enzymatic cleaner to break down any remaining organic residue at the molecular level. This is the step that eliminates the odor rather than masking it.If you can't find or access the source: The intense phase will eventually pass on its own as the carcass dries out. While you wait:Activated charcoal bags — place them as close to the affected area as possible. They trap odor molecules physically rather than adding a scent. Recharge them in sunlight every couple of weeks. Available at most stores for around $10–15 for a multi-pack.Foaming enzymatic cleaners (like BAC-A-Zap) — drill a small hole into the wall cavity, inject the foam, and the enzymes go to work on organic material from the inside. Available online or through pest control suppliers.Use both together for best results — but be honest with yourself: if fluids have soaked into porous materials inside that wall, you may eventually need to open it up.The final step — odor-blocking primer: Once the source is removed and the area is clean and dry, if you're still worried about lingering odor, you can seal hard surfaces with a shellac-based odor-blocking primer like BIN. Important: this is the last step — a lock on a problem already solved — not a first response.Two things worth knowing:Not every mystery smell is a dead animal. Propane and natural gas have a chemical odorant added to them that some people experience as a decay or skunk smell rather than the classic "rotten egg" description. If you can't find a source, the smell isn't fading, or it has a sharp chemical edge, leave the area and call your gas company.The "poison makes them leave the house" idea is a myth. Rodent poisons do not cause mice or rats to go outside searching for water, and they don't dry out the body to eliminate odor. The rodent eats the bait, gets sick over several days, and dies wherever it happens to be — usually inside a wall, under insulation, or behind an appliance. This is one of the reasons pest professionals often recommend snap traps inside the home instead of poison: you know exactly where the animal is.Prevention — sealing entry points:Inspect the exterior of your home for gaps and holes.For small openings: skip foam or caulk alone — rodents chew right through it. Pack the gap first with copper or stainless steel mesh, then seal over it with exterior-grade caulk or pest-blocking foam.For larger openings: use hardware cloth, metal flashing, or other chew-resistant materials.Check chimney caps, vent screens, damaged soffits, loose siding, and gaps around pipes and utility lines.Go into your garage, close the door, turn off the lights. If you can see daylight around the door frame big enough to fit a dime, that's a mouse entry point.Segment 2: Art Deco at Home — A Practical Guide [19:25]Last week Dan covered the history and origins of Art Deco. This week he makes it practical: how do you actually bring Art Deco into a real home without making the space feel like a 1920s movie set?The good news: Art Deco translates surprisingly well into modern interiors — especially when you borrow selectively. You don't need to go all in. Borrowing a few core principles can give any room more elegance, confidence, and visual impact.Three core ingredients of an Art Deco-inspired room:Shape — Art Deco loves geometry, clear lines, and repeated patterns. Think: a mirror with a stepped frame, wallpaper with a fan or geometric motif, a rug with bold linear structure, a light fixture with globes and symmetry, a vanity with fluted details, or a cabinet with curved corners and brass pulls. It's a structured style — not casual.Contrast — Art Deco works best when there's tension in the room: light against dark, gloss against matte, soft upholstery against hard metal, cream walls against black trim, jewel tones against warm metallic finishes.Sheen — Art Deco has always had an affinity for surfaces that reflect light: lacquer, mirrored materials, polished metal, glass, smooth stone, sleek tile. Even if your paint color is quiet and reserved, bumping up the sheen can push a room toward an Art Deco feel without committing to bolder colors.Color: Art Deco isn't just black and gold (though black, ivory, brass, and chrome is certainly one classic palette). The style also works with:Rich jewel tones: emerald green, sapphire blue, deep teal, burgundy, plumSofter palettes: blush pink, dusty rose, pale aqua, warm cream, smoky taupe, elegant grayWhat matters most is that the color choices feel deliberate — polished and intentional, not random.Two approaches to bringing Art Deco in with paint:Go dramatic: A deep green in a dining room, a rich navy in a bedroom, a charcoal in a powder room — especially when paired with brass lighting, crisp trim, and geometric accents.Go soft and elegant: Warm cream, pale blush, or a light gray-green on the walls, and let black accents, metallic fixtures, and geometric shapes carry the Art Deco energy. This is often the smarter route — the paint creates the atmosphere and the accessories do the style work.The golden rule: make a statement, not ten statements. Art Deco becomes overwhelming when every element is competing for attention. Let one or two things speak.Best rooms to try it:Powder rooms — small, high-impact, and a great place to experiment with darker, glossier choices. A jewel-toned wall, brass sconce, bold mirror, black vanity, and geometric tile can be a knockout.Entryways — Art Deco is great at first impressions. A strong console, a sunburst mirror, and a crisp wall color can make an entrance feel intentional and elegant.Dining rooms — Art Deco...

  A closer look at how shifting trade routes and constrained transit are changing propane market dynamics in Europe and beyond.     The European propane market has begun to decouple from global price movements, lagging further behind Asia‑Pacific gains with each passing week. With around 30% of global seaborne supply removed from the market following the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, tightening conditions might have been expected to affect all buyers. Yet, Europe has so far remained relatively insulated.     One of the key reasons for this asymmetry lies along the most important artery for eastbound flows of US product, the Panama Canal. Persistent congestion and limited transit availability continue to reshape trade routes and alter regional market balances.     Argus International LPG editor Peter Wilton is joined by associate editor Efcharis Sgourou to unpack the fundamentals driving this divergence in European propane markets and to assess what it could mean for the fuel's outlook in the months ahead.

Do you need carbohydrates to thrive, or even survive? This really shouldn't be a debate anymore, the evidence is overwhelming against it. Humans have not only survived but thrived in much harsher and life-threatening conditions, such as the ice ages, for 99% of human existence without carbohydrates. So as far as survival, that's a non-starter to suggest that you need carbohydrates. As for thriving, again the evidence is overwhelming that carbohydrates cause direct harm, without any added benefit as long as you are getting adequate nutrition and energy from other sources, such as our primary diet of fatty meat. You can even see this in the genome, where humans didn't even have the genetic code to make amylase in any abundance prior to the agricultural revolution about 10,000 years ago. Amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch, plant carbohydrates. So if we didn't even have the genetic ability to break down starch and carbohydrates from plants, we clearly weren't eating them or requiring them. The evidence goes on and on, as you will see in this video, so as you can see the evidence is thoroughly against carbohydrates being necessary or beneficial in the human diet. This is of course not an exhaustive list of evidence against eating carbohydrates. What are some other reasons and evidence that you can think of as well? #carnivore #keto #healthy #health #nutrition   Join my NEW 90-day Carnivore Challenge group on Mighty Networks below! https://dr-chaffee-s-90-day-carnivore-challenge.mn.co/landing/ If you liked this and want to learn more go to my new website www.DrAnthonyChaffee.com
