2dumb2kwit, I really like your sig line. I've been saying something like it since shortly after arriving in SoCal in the late 1980s: The fact that I talk slow doesn't mean I think slow..."

Randy, I am stil not sure which Jugs you mean?
Rick is the wordmaster, he is articulate I am not, ask him.
actually I feel bad for dragging Rick into this. So scratch that idea. It's a explanation that requires a few cold beers and a campfire.

I appreciate that. They are like a lot of other items out of Europe. A glut of them hits the market then they are gone. I'll just have to find 4 Frenchmen, threaten them, they'll surrender and I'll get their canteen stoves. I know, I know. That was mean.
Mine showed up today, all in good shape, except one cup sorta gnarly...canteens were clean.....
I needed to order some flints and other stuff for the flink lock, so I thought what the heck.....DW muttering something about 'where are you gonna put those...and something about zombie hunting....I didn't catch the rest.....
There are benefits to being partially deaf. You can hear what you partially want to hear or not.
'Tis called "selective deafness." Its a distressingly common condition among children, spouses and pets.Quote:

Second, I told the doctor I wanted a print out of the graph as proof because my wife is never going to believe me.
I find the that the non-commital grunt serves me well....and if I get caught up in it...just say, "yeah, you are right"......."Yes, dear" just makes her mad for some reason....????
Oh yeah, BTW.....I was gonna wash them in the sink....I guess she had someting going on....so she just said..."Oh leave them there, I'll do it when I wash dishes....( that's my girl...heh, heh, heh)

All we males do is expend our lives defending it. (We also do our part in creating life, but that's just at the beginning...)
This may be too radical a concept for folks to accept, at least all at once. If so, my apologies...

Well, theya re done bing washed, so I guess I better 'put them somewhere"....and not press my luck...LOL
Good point!Quote:

The thing about "yes dear" is that you gotta say it like you mean it.
Otherwise it's a demerit. JMHO, of course.
One of the things I do at work is physicals for people applying for truck driving jobs. Part of the test is to stand 5 feet from a driver and whisper, "Can you hear this?" So last week I had this guy and I whispered "Can you hear this?" and he whispered back "Yeah. Don't tell my wife."
Now that right there is funny. I don't care who you are.
Most men are deaf in the right ear.Quote:

1) First thing in the morning, tell her you love her and mean it.
2) Say "I'm sorry.....doesn't matter if you did anything or not, you will....
3) Use 'Your are right/correct"....better than "Yes dear" not just a dismissal....
4) Non-committal grunt.....useful in ALL other situations .....uaaagh?
Just a FYI.....The canteen cup and pouch will hold 2 bottles of water, if you don't like the taste of alumium kept water....tried it today......

Not a bad deal for $4 bucks, Thanks Rick.
Grrrr. You got the 4 snap covers!!!! That will hold the French stove if you can find it. I only received the 2 snap covers. I guess you're just 2 snaps better than me. snap, snap. (sigh).
Yeah, but just got one....and they kinda wanted to shrink, when washed, so I packed them wet, stretched them and let em dry.
El-cheapo brass brushes on the Dremel work well for remove some grunge on one of the cups.
I did the same thing. They must be cotton or something. I washed them and dried them then tried to put the canteens in. No go. I had to wet them, stretch a bit and then let them dry on the canteen. Shoulda known it was gonna do that.
So you find any stoves to fit, yet?
Nope. Nadda. I had a couple of generous offers from members on here but I declined. The quest is half the fun for me. Besides, with only the two snap covers they won't fit inside.
I have to agree about the quest....gives ya some to think about in the morning....instead of those pesky chores.
