A Word in the Woods

Looks like I may not be able to pick up my car tomorrow, I’m a bit under the weather – but hey, at least I’m getting into the habit of posting again!

I’ve failed to mention a great set of finds that I managed this past winter/fall. An old Coleman Lantern, and a Coleman two-burner stove. Heavy and heavy-duty, they don’t mess around with the good old stuff. The lantern still has its original box and runs on white gas – same as my lightweight camping stove. It’s in great condition, but I’m going to probably burn out some rust and dust in the innards, as it’s from 1976!

I’m looking forward to keeping them both in the car as part of my safety kit, but first things first, let’s get that car!

I’m looking forward to my new vehicle, but it’s with a bit of a twinge of regret that I’m putting my VW golf up for sale. I’ve put it up on Kijiji, my first ever post on something like that, so we’ll see how things go. I’ve also now put it up on Craigslist, and I’m surprised they let me use HTML and CSS to style it a little. If I had more time, I’d play with that a bit.

Ah, but now, I’m looking forward to my new ride. I’ll have to get some more pictures of it, but still have to get some things sorted out with the government first (Grr). I’m really getting to hate the red-tape registration that they require on everything.

I’ll try to remember to take as many pictures as I work on the new acquisition… until then, here’s something:

hee hee.

I’m going to have to do some work on it in quick order, to get things ready for my first camping trip of the year – a winter valentine’s camp in mid-February, coming up soon.

Sorry, haven’t maintained in a while, there was just too much spam going on, so I had to take things off the hook for a while. I’ll get back on track, and follow up with some more frequent posting over the next while.
