Hey Duane, hope you heal up fast. Might need to start jogging with your steel toed boots!

Here's a video of my vicious dog....guess which one if which!

AGM claimed that the American Ready-Lite "Chases Darkness" I have always liked that slogan.

It has been mentioned many times that Coleman never threw anything out. Speculation about a stash of base plates or founts popping up in a production run has been brought up more than once. Swapped and upside down date stamps cannot be denied. The date ranges have been narrowed down in most cases by...

Those Canucks are a long ways from home! I am a big fan of the red over nickel so my vote is for the 200!

Rhubarb

Both those videos were very "satisfying" to watch. The forum has an add-on that automatically embeds certain media.

There used to be an older parts guy at Reno Cycle and Gear that was really good with parts when I was dealing with them. Sonoma Cycle out of Winnemucca has a good reputation as well. I think Polaris is spending too much time and effort on their UTV line and the SNO line has fallen by the wayside. Du...

I'd like to see some pictures when you get it back together Duane. Sounds like a classic sled.

Rhubarb

Ugh, not a fun job, just getting the skid/frame suspension out and wrestling the track is a pain. Getting to the drive shaft is a royal PITA! Remember, assembly is reverse of disassembly. I always have a tough time saying all the cuss word backwards...but any job worth doing, is worth doing well. Ar...

The cans are lined with plastic, you are drinking out of plastic when get it in the can.

I remember buying returnable bottles of Busch lite in college because it was cheaper, but only after retuning the bottles, of course.

Here's an interesting article.

I prefer to get it in the can.

I like Ike!

If you're using it all the time, buy a nice one, I like the Metabo branded angle grinders for heavy duty use. I keep one at the house that I use occasionally, and it's a $25 Ryobi. Works just fine. No need for an expensive grinder for occasional use.

Rhubarb

Second guess is that is an Austrian crest? Is it a belt buckle?

With the three crowns and the cross, possibly a connection to the Russian Orthodox Church? Just a guess.

Those are cool. To the Google machine!

Working as a vehicle mechanic at a ski hill affords one the opportunity to work on a fleet snowblowers of various sizes throughout the season. The tracked Hondas are about as good as you can get. Well worth every penny, even the stoniest parking lot/lift attendant can't destroy them. I too will recc...

A group of us are going ice fishing this coming weekend, hopefully we can get on some yellow perch. Looks like you guys had a great time!

These are those linkable LED shop lights, instant bright no matter the temp and brilliant white light above the bench. Maybe a bit too much blue/bright white on the "k" scale, but still a nice addition. https://www.samsclub.com/p/honeywell-5000-shop-light-2pk/prod24810730?xid=plp_product_1 Yes, the ...

Hung a pair of 4' LED shop lights over my work bench today. They came as a pair from Sam's Club, a nice addition, I think.

I received the first part of the Moderna shot today at 2pm PST, as of 11pm PST my arm doesn't have much soreness. The local clinic will contact me for the second shot in 30 days. I'm 39 now and will be 40 when I get the second shot. I haven't taken a flu shot in several years, I'm a rural American, ...

Don't be sorry, Ian. I appreciate your tenacity when it comes to making this forum work at its best.

The @mention feature is handy, but not worth agonizing page load time.

Good on, ya!

The feeling is mutual.

B-I_L and I lifted a tub off of a Scout II a few days ago, not IN the shop, but just next to it.

It wasn't a complete 202. The frame rest was MIA, the burner frame is ferrous enough to attract a magnet, and the bail has some corrosion. Not the prettiest vent, but it was there. I got it for a good price from GiantKid Mike, worth the parts alone, I reckon, even with the fount like it is. Maybe I ...

Rhubarb

Professional or not, this one is no more. I've been sitting on this fettle since I went to Death Valley 3 years ago. Which means that I have one less 202 than I did before.

Those NAS boys venture out this away from time to time. At least that's what the contrails say.

Kind of reminds me of a "captured" nut or something. Will it come apart?

Mrs. Rhubarb got me a pizza oven attachment for my GMG pellet "grill."

Works good. Might have been a little hot. Even though the edges were a little charred, it was one of the best pizzas I have made at home.

I employ the leather strip under the hose clamp technique.

KampKook stove for use with short-lived LP-Gas canisters. AGM called their canisters "K-Fuel"

No idea on a model number, likely looks something like this :

I've got a similar procedure to perform here. I hope it turns out as well as your transplant.

Lab wash bottles look like they would work good.

I see BernieDawg using these unitized wash bottles on his stoves.

The fuel bottles for RC cars might be a good idea?

I haven't used either, just a few ideas.

Clear as a bell here! I'd bet operator error is the right diagnoses. Should I be able to see 'rings' on Saturn?

This is what Santa brought us last year: https://www.celestron.com/products/come ... -telescope

Rhubarb

The kids and I set up their (our/my) "big box store" Celestron telescope and looked at the moons of Saturn and the two planets in very close proximity to each other... Not very happy with the 'scope. Seems like it's not very clear.

Rhubarb

It's been done before, anyone gonna break out some "Sunshine of the Night" or "Chases Darkness" on the longest night of the year?
