Theres been many times I just wanted to p*ss off in the car for some time out on my own in the bush, and spend some quality time under the stars . For me , its like pressing a ' reset' button . HS Same for me my folks brought me up in a tent, hunting and fishing was a family endeavor, my mom was crack shot and fisherwoman as well as an awesome campfire cook lol BUT! i would give up the rest of my life of outdoors to have back one day with my mom and dad. You're the lucky one my friend enjoy every minute you can with them.

Its almost Summer here, feeling it already , or should I say BBQ season be good HS my dad was in Ww2 also, grew up during the depression, man they had a rough go of it back then but you know my folks were always happy i guess when you live through tough times like that history everything else is cake. I have my great grandmothers cook book it is a reused fabric sample book that she glued recipes from newspapers and books into and also quilt patterns and doily patterns lol. Some of the oldest dates are 1895. i find them fascinating because of the simple ingredients that folks had back then to work with and the fact that cook books weren't something you bought but made. i made baked eggs from it the other day lol but i had a hard time figuring out what temperature a "quick oven" was, wood stove terms lol. My mom was always saving recipes too, i have hers still also. Got the truck about half ready so far, today i have to grease it up, check the winch, and maybe change a u joint. its only ten days but its a hard ten, plenty of mud and possibly snow instore for the truck that starts by pulling my old camper 60 miles up into the mountains.

Mum has an assortment of cook books , especially one similar to your Great Grand Mothers . I don't know how old it is , but must be older than me, because she was using it when I was a wee lad. Its 2" + thick with magazine & newspaper cuttings tucked inside , its frayed, falling apart, but has some really delicious foods in it, mostly the ' olde' English recipes, many of which are bound to have copious ( and unhealthy ) amounts of cream and custard , no such thing as " diets" back then HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

I've only just got the cyl head off just this afternoon . One helluva struggle , but I got it off. I could see where the gasket went wrong, between 2 cylinders, quite common. Cylinders seem OK too. So, now to get it back together again and running again . ' In the next episode ....'

I managed to make it back with my old truck in one piece this year. ten days in the mud, snow and muck. We have plenty of meat now for the year having taken two cow elk and one calf. It was cold wet and beautiful out there and yes those first two days without a cloud in the sky or snow were celebrated with a hot fire under the milky way. a couple of pics for your enjoyment, that mud hole is typical of many out there this time of year and its on the main road lol.

Recipes abound for the year.. yummmm The head studs just had a huge build up of carbon and gunk etc. around them making it hard to pull the head right off. Sure feeling it today tho, I ache all over . I have some bourbon for that...purely medicinal, of course .

Members Handstitched Posted November 2, 2022 Members Report Posted November 2, 2022 I know you like old iron, but how about old brass? I only paid $20 for it at a local antique shop. Its a ' Companion' brand , made in Australia under licence from Sweden . Works perfect. I didn't even need to replace any plunger parts. Cool Pretty happy with that HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called? Incontinentia.......Incontinentia Buttocks '
CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 2, 2022 Author CFM Report Posted November 2, 2022 now that is cool!!! i love it!!! i have a very old lead pot stove that is so old the brass pump is separate from the canister, i guess before they figured out the internal type pump lol. i like restoring things so much my son brought me these old binos for my birthday one year. they were found in a lake lol and had to be completely disassembled to get all the dirt out.
