Morning SoCal!
Well we're bidding for Fort Wayne's all time HIGH temp today...we tied it last week at 106° and they believe we may break it today...I really don't want to break that record!
Then tomorrow we may break another record...we've never had 4 straight days of 100°...tomorrow will be that 4th day...oh joy...another one I don't want to break!
Who moved me to Arizona when i wasn't looking?
Oh yeah...has anyone heard about this so-called virus that is going to shut down computers come Monday?...my local news did a story on it last night...I guess you can scan your computer at DCWG | DNS Changer Working Group you may want to check it out...I scanned all of my computers and they were clean...thankfully...
Hope everyone enjoys their Friday!
Joe.

Morning SoCal!
Well Bill we're gonna do it it looks like...we're in for our 4th straight 100° day today...oh joy...it'll be our ALL-TIME record in Fort Wayne!!!...this is certainly unprecedented territory we're in here...the farmers are hurting with about a 9" rain defecit this year...and Indiana is not alone from that perspective...food prices are going to be going up up up...again...
The good news temperature wise at least is that we'll be back to "normal" tomorrow with mid-80's...is it sick that sounds good to me?...
Have a great Saturday everyone!

Mid 80's sounds good after a week of triple digits, Joe. I'm sure we'll get our turn sooner or later, but we've had it good so far this summer.
Looks like Phil Mickelson is in on the Padres deal also. Maybe new ownership will get them turned around.

Hey Sean, you're a bad influence. I picked up a Coleman double mantle from a yard sale this morning.

I don't have any idea of the model number...it says "The Sunshine Of The Night" on the tank, if that's any help.
Looks like I'm gonna be breaking out the others that I have and being sure they all function.

On the collar between the frame and font (that's the part that holds the glass (globe) and the tank for those that don't speeka da coleman), there should be stamped (or painted) the model number i.e. 220F. Also on the bottom of the tank there will be stamped a month/year i.e. 5 61.

We took Colemans to the bluegrass festival last month.
We played "Washers" until one in the morning, with the light provided by two of my 220s.
Great backup light sources. The newer ones can be run on plain-ol' unleaded gasoline, and some of them can even run on kerosene!
Kero conversions are kinda' popular, and if you want to do a little more maintenance, one CAN run them on #2 diesel or Jet-A.
Steve,
What did you give for the Coleman? Photo?

That's the best part of all...it was a freebie. Friends of our were having the yard sale, and they wouldn't take anything from me for it.
Here's a pic of a Model 228E, though the one I got isn't in nearly this good of shape:
