For years I had to maintain the professional look and I would get my hair cut every 4-5 weeks and there was a time that I would go back between cuts to have the back of my neck shaved. Going into the lockdown I needed a haircut, my wife finally cut it and what a mess. Once the lockdown was lifted I ...

I am trying to come up with any virus or disease where we shut schools and some businesses down for a year when less than 1 % of those who catch it actually die. ....can't think of any. Hmmm. We will still probably get the shot. Chuck, You had covid and they are still suggesting that you get the va...

I have never had a flu shot and don't plan to get this one, nor does my wife. I will be 62 in June, so I suppose I have a designated place in line. I would rather just mostly avoid people, and when I don't, if they are vaccinated or already have had it, I guess I will be benefiting from their sacri...

Is this the same card Steve?

24 hour update, there was some discomfort in my arm. Kinda surprised me from a shot that you don’t feel. No flu like symptoms so I must have a good immune system, I eat the right amount of dirt. Hopefully round two goes as well.

So glad you made a choice. For my wife and I no thanks Jan For you nea sayers, a year ago when this crazy stuff started out my wife and I walked into a Meijer store. I grabbed a freshly disinfected shopping cart, the handle was still wet! We did our shopping, got back to her vehicle then loaded the...

That is very interesting Chuck, I know you are retired Marine Corp. She earned a number of ribbons while enlisted because the Iraq war was going on. They wouldn’t let many of her ribbons transfer over from enlisted to officer. The one she was most bummed out about was her good conduct medal. At the...

I have soaked some ratty mica chimneys in citric acid (without the Coleman marking). The mica came out great but rust remained on the metal rails. I was reluctant to use steel wool on the metal as I was afraid to scratch the mica. I bought some navel jelly and plan on applying it to the metal rails ...

i did the opposite, pumped up very, very much and then put it on the stove in a pan and boiled it with good results. it was a 243a that was very noticeable and now it is not as noticeable and am happy with the result.

Well I wound up getting round one of the Pfizer vaccine today, so far so good. I had to stay in the observation area for a full half hour as I had an allergic reaction to penicillin a few years ago. I have an appointment for round two on March 31. Ironically I drove right by the Pfizer plant where t...

I have a quart can that is still almost full

Rubing

That’s a tough one! You can pressurize the fount to 60-80 lbs with compressed air then GENTLY heat it with a propane torch. If you heat it too much you run the risk of melting the solder on the filler cap bung.

Rubing

As for the refrigeration factor you have to remember that Pfizer started manufacturing this vaccine months before it was approved for use. Hence the sub zero storage temp. Now it can go from the assembly line to an arm in a matter of weeks.

Rubing

So one of the first vaccines..Pfizer??...needed to be kept at -70 degF. Now it seems like it is ok to store at regular refrigerator temps. What suddenly changed? More competition? https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-allows-more-flexible-storage-transp...

At the very least cancel your CC.

Personally, I wouldn't have waited a second! I'm scheduled for Saturday and my fear is being offered the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. If so, I'd likely refuse it and try to schedule all over again, which is a major effort in New Jersey. I actually wouldn’t mind getting the J&J vaccine. It is only a...

Rubing

We live in a somewhat rural are of SW MI and thought I didn’t stand a chance of getting a vaccine.
My brother lives on the east side of MI and is 3 years older than me and he still hasn’t been able to get a vaccine.

That beer is going to warm up pretty quick sitting next to those two.

I love carrot cake, gonna have to try it.

You will be fine with the iron filler cap.

The Pfizer vaccine is being produced about 5 miles down the road from us and the J&J vaccine is being shipped out of Grand Rapids, MI about 45 minutes away.

In Michigan I became eligible for the covid vaccine yesterday. I registered with the county health department, a local hospital system and Meijers first thing in the morning. The health department told me that the wait would be several weeks or several months to get an appointment. Late in the after...

Don’t get me wrong guys I have no problem with guys making customs but that isn’t my thing. What I have a problem with is someone reproducing a complete Coleman assembly.

I joined this forum a few years ago. When I went to my first gathering there were all kinds of long time collectors that I never saw on the forum.
I asked them why I never saw them on the forum and they said “you will see”
I am now seeing why.

Caveat venditor, if you drop dead nobody will know where this fake came from.

There is no scam involved, the money is sent now to your bank instead of PayPal. You do not mail the item until you have received the funds. As others have said, do not mail direct off shore. Mail to an eBay approved US clearing house or one requested by the buyer. Ask for a signed receipt by the cl...

That looks fantastic Mark!

After searching for years for a Coleman parts rack, finally finding one and paying dearly for it. I find this post very offensive.

Firearms deer hunted in a 16 x 16 tent in the west end of Michigan’s upper peninsula for years in November.
We had a 200A, 220, 228 and later on a 295.
In the morning the first guy up or in the evening when we came in from hunting everyone lit the 200A first.

The height above the valve on the big HC burner with the large mica is the same as the height of the small mica on the 134. It just looks ideal to me, and the fact that these are available and reasonably inexpensive is sure to make them an attractive alternative to making a shade or hunting for an ...

Welcome to the forum. You can gently straighten bent generators by hand. Put both thumbs on the high side of the bend and pull back with the rest of your fingers or at least as many as you can get on the generator. It’s only thin tubular brass.

A Giant was sold today at eBay for $375 and no vent or air tube Pancho that wasn’t a bad price, it was missing the vent and generator. Those parts aren’t unattainable as a Nulite No 18 has the same upper parts. That would be like finding a Poultry missing upper parts and they could be replaced by s...
