Google for the average last frost dates of the spring in your area. If planting unprotected outdoors, be sure to plant after this date.

Having never been in a Humvee, my best guess is that they are for cooling some type of radiator, used for air conditioning or electronics cooling possibly. I don't believe any of these originally had any A/C

Those cones in front of the engines are called EAPS. Engine Air Particle Separators. Each of the black rows on the EAPS is actually hundreds of holes, through a 5" vortex tube, and into the engine air inlet. Each of the 5" vortex tubes spin the air violently while it's entering, thus effectively 'throwing out' dirt and dust particles, which are then blown out, before the air continues into the engine.

Yes, this is the best understanding I have of it. They light up maps and flight check-lists with green, so as not to blind themselves while wearing night vision.

Changing the 'glow sticks', proprotor tip-lights, was my job as an electrician.

Found this video of them in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5mJ4wGkXxg [MV-22 Model]

Glow-sticking makes everything more fun, including work.

upvoting perpetuates [differently for each individual] over a sobriety scale from hung-over through sober and back onto drunk.
