  1. Hi Doc; I remember eating a lot of pan fried squirrel and rabbit when visiting my grandmothers when I was a kid in western pa. The home made apple pie and bread she could bake on a coal fired stove was unbelievabe. My absolute favorite was pan fried sweet breads, you could get a quart bucket of them for 5c at the local sloughterhouse, tasted a bit like chicken but different. My grandfather would send me to the local tavern for a bucket of beer, same bucket same price, 5c. Ron
  2. I am truly amased at the political poison expressed by the members of this forum. Shame on all of you.
  3. This is for oakwoodcutter: In mid-May I was returning home from a month long trip through the western states. I was stopping for a nature call at a rest stop in eastern Arkansas. Near the entrance was a teenage boy with a cardboared beverage flat and a homade sign reading "please help, need gas or money, any help would be appreciated." He never moved, and I passed him by, just like everyone else. When I returned to my car and started to leave I noticed an older van with New Mexico plates filled with clothing and beding inside and on the roof carrier. Nearby was a young girl and a child of 7 or 8 who she was trying to keep ocupied. She started to move away and I saw the mother sitting at a picknic table in the shade of a nearby tree, looking very frail and tired. I got out of my car and called to get the girls attention two or thee times, she finally heard me ,and when I caught up I gave her a hundred dollar bill. She was totally surprised and nearly forgot to thank me, but she did after I told her I had been stranded years ago. I left and continued my trip home. About an hour later I began to have regrets. I'm a solitary man that has trouble interacting with other people. My regret was that I never talked to the mother to see if a hundred dollars was enough to get her to her destination. Oakwoodcutter; I hope you never need to depend on the kindness of strangers in a time of need. Ron

  5. I've seen the pictures of the Pulse Devil here and on the Aussy forums and they all have one thing in common that I find odd. The control box is mounted on the shaft with the variable controls facing the coil instead of the operator???? In use you"d have make changes blind or sling the coil over your shoulder to see what you were doing. Any ideas why its set up this way? Thanks Ron
