    My wife says, weren't you suppose to do to X on the list. My reply, "That's your list. I have X to do on my list, thank you very much. I am looking for an NG3631 times 4. It's rare but worth a lot of money if I can find it." I get about 10 seconds of "the stare", which loosely translates to you are so full of chut then she just walks off. That's success, right? I win don't I? Don't I?

    As cheap as they are, could you make a stove out of another canteen? Just like the army canteen cup stove?
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    That wouldn't be any fun. Then I wouldn't have endless of hours of scouring through every nook and cranny on the internet looking for them. Besides, I have plenty of stoves. I just don't have THOSE stoves. Now, if you'll excuse me. I must do a Dogpile Search.

    I have the same problem with a flower flute from a Cambridge Arms Centerpiece. I've been looking for years. Lot's of almosts but no 'zactlys.

    It is kinda funny when you find a complete churn, and it has the wrong jar (real ones are marked right into the glass with the name and number)....and they want $175 bucks for it....and you tell them, "Hey this isn't the real jar".....and they play dumb....."yeah, well, ah, well...."......But it beats just saying "No, I'm just looking......."

    [<Grin!>] It depends on where you got to sleep that night. My German Shepherd lives in a two-story, air-conditioned dog house. She installed wall-to-wall carpets and a flatscreen TV in her guest room.
