Mr. atbglenn please let us know what you think. I trust your review over others.
Why thank you! That said, there are plenty of good reviewers on here. But then again, I’ve been into tools since the mid-1960’s since my dad owned a Hardware Store. Actually, he owned one since 1955. I just didn’t get into the hardware thing till I was 13 years of age. I’ll let you know what I think.
No disrespect intended to any others. I do know there is a very real difference between tool owners and tool users though… Also any more pictures of recent creation on your grill will be greatly enjoyed.
Yeah. Flashlights, power tools, and great food. Excuse me while I grab myself a nice cold beer. 
Nice scenery alert at 1:29 and 2:29!
Funny, I just knocked off a coupla Warsteiner Dunkels, almost frozen to slush. Yummm!
I could go for some of those burgers, dogs, and brats, though.
Coleman Octagon 98… 8 person tent… comfortable for 3.
Picked this up from Walmart last week, for use with a little portable camping stove. It worked well for making scrambled eggs, boiling water, and reheating stuff last weekend, and it looks like it will last a pretty long time. Never used this kind of fuel before. Always had the pure propane canisters before. Propane is usable down to a lower temp, but as long as temp is above freezing, butane/propane mix works fine.
And here is the stove:
Some stoves feed the fuel with a loop first over the flame and burn it afterwards.
That helps in cold weather.
This is a extreme example: WindPro™ II Canister, Liquid Fuel Backpacking Stove | MSR®
It is made for liquid feeding.
Hi Pete, I never heard of Butane/Propane mix. The burner looks great. Enjoy!
Actually, if it’s a 50/50 mix of (iso)butane/propane, then it’s a drop-in for CFC-12, if you have an old-timey car AC.
I was running HC-12a for years. CFC-12 was obscenely priced (IF you could still find somewhere to buy it), conversions to HFC-134a sucked, and HC-12a was a drop-in replacement (same P/V curves) which worked like a charm. The way the EPA badmouths it and outright lies about its legality, you’d think Hitler invented it in his garage.
Did you say cold? You’d have to “detune” the AC somewhat if you didn’t want to actually hang meat in your car on the ride home. Quite a few times the coils would ice-up, and you’d have to turn off the AC for a few minutes to let the ice melt, then turn it back on again.
You could buy it (made for ACs) by the can, so two 16oz cans of CFC-12 would be replaced with two ~4oz baby-cans of HC-12a.
Buy these cans in bulk, get the right fittings, and you could make a good living recharging ACs of old-timey cars!
These camping tanks are typically 70-80% butane / 20-30% propane mix. Some of the better brands like Olicamp or MSR use isobutane. This cheap Coleman one does not.
I ordered two Seagate 5TB portable hard drives today.

Sale ends at 11:59PM PST, and you have to be a subscriber to their email ads to get the deal.
It's not a tremendous sale (especially if you live in a state that has to pay tax), but it's the lowest price I could find right now.
EDIT:

Nice! I just ordered a Seagate Expansion 4 GB Desktop HD for my Media for $94 free shipping and no tax. I have a few 2 GB versions for the past few years with no problems. This will be connected to the Mac Mini connected to my Livingroom 65” LG OLED HDTV replacing a 2GB Seagate which is running out of space.
Picked up a 24” monitor not too long ago…
Nice Pete. I have a 24” Dell monitor on my PC since 2005. It’s been 100% reliable and the picture quality is still close to perfect with no backlight bleed. I’m amazed it’s still working. It owes me nothing.
This is Bullsh*t I got this message newegg.com telling me that they couldn’t verify my PayPal payment method for my new HD. I checked out my Paypal payment method which is attached to my Visa credit card and everything checks out. I’ve since re-ordered with the same credit card and everything went well. What the hell is going on?
Picked up some more AAA cells…
I gave up on Keurig coffee makers a few years ago after my 4th machine died. At best I got two years out of each one. I really missed the convenience of K-Cups.
Fast forward, I really wanted to get a new brewer, but I wasn’t going to buy a Keurig branded machine. After reading excellent reviews on Amazon, I ended up ordering a Mueller Ultima Single Serve K-Cup Coffee Maker. I also ordered 2 boxes (72 count each) of Green Mountain Dark Magic K-Cups.
I hope it’s as good as people say.
I hope you like it, Glenn.
I typically stay away from “pods” style coffee unless there is nothing else available, mainly because I turned into a huge coffee snob over the years. However, if I had to have one, it would be Nespresso. It beats any kind of k-cup machine taste hands down, in my experience.
