Way back in the day, when SWMBO and I hadn't even been married 5 years yet, we were in desperate need to get away during a 3-day weekend. All of our plans were dashed, yet at the very last minute we were able to go. Unfortunately the lake we were wanting to go to was full (we had given up our...

The "look at me - look at me" crowd.

And that's why we haven't gone to "campgrounds" in over 20 years.

Father-n-law was on one of engineering crews that evaluated those batteries. He just shakes his head when hears people pushing that EV are the way to go right now.

You should look into the fire hazards and dangers of electric cars. It's got a lot of fire departments, especially small town ones, worried.

Thought I'd share the following link with all y'all. These books were written by a true overlander. She is a Land Rover enthusiast and even helped me when it came to buying my Rover. She has been a tremendous help and resource when it's come to maintenance and mechanics. She has written two...

IIRC, the batteries replacement cost for that thing will be starting around $15K. A friend has a KIA hybrid; the replacement cost for the big battery is more than the car's resale price.

Tina Turner in chainmail...

All of you have some really good, and valid points. Unfortunately, it has got to the point that anything, and I mean ANYTHING, tends to get politicized! Seriously... you buy a certain pancake syrup you're a racist right winger; you prefer a vegetarian diet you're a socialist left winger.

He looks like he's down for anything too!

Thanks! And he is!

I have 3 actually! Two totems and a mut. Back in my Army & ROTC days, I was training with Rangers at Ft. Knox and was the XO of the ROTC Ranger Battalion I was in, we called these "Ranger Creatures". One of mine is a Voodoo doll and the other is LEGO's Johnny Thunder. The mut's name is Winston.

That we are. Now, if we drive into Wichita, and go to an antique store, they would be very pricey. The only dud I've snagged at an estate sale that really bothers me was an antique aebleskiver pan. Unfortunately the owner had all of her. antique/vintage cast iron painted black, for display...

The vintage/antique CI cooking pans come up quite often at our local auction house (Erie, Griswold, Wagner, etc), not to mention yard sales and estate sales. Can typically get great stuff dirt cheap around here. Then again I live in a rural area. We have two, large ham boilers, being used as...

Just not a fan of the Lodge found on shelves now. I'm not a big fan of any of the modern CI pots and pans sold either. When I buy I look for older ones, pre 1950s, especially those like Erie, Griswold and even Lodge.

Well.... 1 - sentimental value; the friend is no longer around and each time I use it I think of them. 2 - I like challenges like this and too many things get tossed as it is. 3 - I'm not a fan of Lodge.

I've been wondering if there could be something wrong with the metallurgy &/or the casting process. Haven't tried using more oil than I'd think though.

It's not a lodge. It's a 10.5", round Coleman griddle with handle. I've had it for a very long time and the person who gave it to me got back in the '80s, IIRC, and had issues with it. I have been fighting this thing since I've had it.

Yup.
