i don't mind trading it for a lantern! (starting to grow fond of the 200A's, anything nickle, and big hats!)

swap meet was a bust for lanterns, only saw one. it was a Coleman adjustable single mantle from 2/87 i think it was a 286(birthday year! not month tho

)

did pick up a 5" vice for 23 dollars for a buddy of mine who needs a vice. harbor freight knock off of a Wilton.

swap meet overall was ok, only half of the race track in size. as where the Sunday one in the whole pit area plus half or more of the track.

Just ducked in from my next-door-neighbor's party. He's in the voice-over industry, and having once been in the broadcasting biz, I got an invitation.

It's very entertaining to be over there with that crowd. Lotsa' "characters"!
