OSUT 258: Better late than never....Summer Days are Near

[GregD]

DD, I don't think Tex made any changes.
Tex was here for quite a while. He had 3 mods with him. Makes me worry.

This is typical, if you use a Zippo, like mine.

This discussion leads to knowing from soldiers in the field that a Zippo will run on darn near anything. Kerosene, gasoline, diesel, paint thinner, laquer thinner, whiskey have all been reported to work in a pinch.

I've thought about going to a bike shop to see if I could get an old innertube. I've heard of people cutting off about a 1" section and stretching it over the lighter where the lid meets the body to seal it. Supposedly it makes quite a difference in the evaporation rate. To use the lighter, you just roll it down, flip the lid, light, and then roll it back up when you close the lid.

Evenin' Greg. Seems like it would be a simple fix.

That is what I thought also. I get to feeling that we don't know the whole story.

I still bet it happened like I thought it did. I hope we get to find out eventually. Definitely piqued my curiosity.

I am never signed out of INGO. Makes things simple.

Howdy yote! So did it happen like I thought? You tried to sign in with "Yotehunter" instead of "yote hunter"?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy greg.

 

[GregD]

Yote, Tex is a good guy. Glad he is fixing things.

Sounds like a great idea.
Never tried it, but moving that way.

Only two inner tube sizes I have laying around are too small and too large.

Just cleaned up my scrap pile from.... when ever.


Now only if my place in Franklin was open to give me $$

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy Brandon. Now you can cut your grass!

 

[GregD]

Evening

 

[klausm]

I went ahead and mowed mine today, the clover has been growing

Isn't it a no zone action day or something? Or juneteenth... something?!!

I'm not mowing mine until at least the weekend, and then only if it's really long, which I don't think it will be.

Tomorrow is a Knozone action day, but I don't think there are any restrictions on mowing for Juneteenth.

Good evening everyone… looks like the Tropical Storm is south Texas is flooding things.

It's an impressive little storm.
Good thing it developed in the Gulf instead of the mid Atlantic.
At 995mb as it approached shore, that is within hurricane range. Maybe why they named it.

Said the northern reach from center of the storm could excede 400mi.

That's more than the Texas coastline, BTW.
