David's back everyone! He doesn't bite (too much). Also those outboards are very effective mosquito control. Worked on the neighbors outboard as well (his marina doesn't care for all the smoke), and I was very surprised, for once mine started easier and smoked less [emoji50] I'm doing something wrong.
 
Thanks-Like cad years ago when the Coleman bug bit I gathered up more lanterns and stoves than I NEED. Still pick up a rare or uncommon one now and then--Use them-loan then -give them to people who start out camping--All leave my hands with a lifetime repair-If it stops working-Bring it back for free repair by me!! Forever-----David--Any body needs to know history,repair,parts on old colemans they have just ask. I encourge people to use the old stuff--it last a lifetime

I also use the old stuff. Have 2 lanterns, 1 is 1958 and the other is 1975. I have two model 413 stoves, 1 is 1975, the other is early 60s with no date I can find. Has the towel bar and pop out legs and I have a three burner stove from 1974 whose model number escapes me right now. On of the 413s (the 1975) has had about 20 gallons of regular unleaded burned through it boiling sap and canning and it just keeps going.
 
Happy Easter to all that subscribe to the Christian ways, to those that don't, happy Sunday! Post service ran some saws, now I'm going to split some wood. Anyone else besides me prefer the hand splitting methods to wood splitters?

Happy Easter everyone! There is something quite calming about splitting wood by hand for me. If anyone ever want a good workout, try splitting elm, nasty stuff.

I split it all by hand, if a piece is just too twisted it goes to the fire pit but
Those are rare instances... I've found hickory to be the most challenging split personally but it all splits easy if you let the rounds freeze and split them in the
Winter!

I used to split wood by hand, got a new maul that has never been in wood, 5 herniated disc keeps me using it, so i use an old had splitter my dad bought back in the early 80's from Northern Hydraulic. I upgraded the old Briggs 5hp to a 6.5 red Honda. You know when a Briggs has been run a lot when you have to put transmission fluid in carb and pull out the barrel choke to get it to start. I imagine the rings are shot and the cylinder bore is worn pretty well.

Easter is a holiday filled with food, colored eggs and bunnies.

Resurrection Sunday is a day dedicated to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Savior of all who trust Him and repent, so that those who trust him can spent eternity in paradise with Him. (cutting wood, hopefully...[emoji6])

I do not celebrate Easter, I celebrate Resurrection Sunday, and thank my Savior Jesus Christ for what he did for me, a sinner, and all who trust Him.

Happy Resurrection Sunday to all!!
