    Hope you enjoyed everything! I have one of those cans and love it except for the fact it could use a vent so it doesn't expand and contract. I think I will drill a small hole in the top handle or someplace.

    I was honing in that is was you! But still "wasn't sure"! Thank you soooooooooo much! I actually went looking for that can and every place I know who sells cans didn't have them in stock or was out! I went to TSC and some guy was holding the "last" one they had in stock. :( Your Good Gary! :cool: Good idea about the vent, drill a hole and put a sheet metal screw in it. Thanks very much!!!:handshake::thumbs:

    This is the first year our items have not all gotten to us on time. Seems like USPS is really messed up this year and even some delays in UPs.

    Thats the point to those new EPA cans. They want all the fumes to stay in the can. They can take some pressure. I have seen the 5 gallon ones as round as a basketball here in summer and when you crack the valve open on them it puffs glass 20 feet

    Yea and after you release any pressure and it cools down then they suck in so much it looks like they could tip over. Just wonder how much flexing that plastic can take? They actually need a rubber type bladder that would expand and contract with the pressure differential. These are the only cans that I have found where the gas release nozzle actually works with out breaking or spilling gas all over probably releasing more fume than if it was just vented.

    Well, I'm finally settling in from the shock of the mega-gift from all of you guys, and just when I thought it was done, I open up my SS gift and I'm yet again BLOWN AWAY. A pair of Stihl work gloves, a six pack of 2-cycle mix and an AMAZING, HAND CRAFTED turkey call and striker, complete with a handmade leather protective cover. What an amazing gift!!! Honestly, I cannot wait to bust a gobbler using that call in a couple months! It will have a special place in my gun cabinet! I'm a sucker for handmade turkey calls so I'm at a loss for how my SS knew that I like them......

    At any rate, I'm not 100% sure who it was, Sneed from WV.......gimme a hint here, I wanna shake your hand! Merry Christmas and God Bless you, brother!!

    And let me say how I'm blown away at the talents you guys have as well as the amazing generosity, some of the most heart-felt and amazing handcrafted gifts I've ever seen! Truly incredible. Just too much to even comprehend!!

    My SS gift is running a little late, it's going out today. It's been a hectic month, never dreamed I'd have been so busy. But one has to make hay when the suns shining..

    Be patient, the gift is worth,the wait!!

    Now that is a nice thought Paul! Hum... I have the sticker now. Wonder if I could put that on a milk crate? Or the splitter?

    www.jaarsmabakery.com awesome baked goods of all kinds. They even have mail order... I'm not dutch, but love dutch letters, and even better is an almond blanket, just like a Dutch letter, but like 4 times as much almond filling!
