    True, but it sure is nice not to have to store all that music and all those movies I used to own. I went completely digital 5 years ago.

    At this point I think there are 4 people who not identified their SS (one of which had a poem written about the event, so maybe it is really three if he is lurking) and 2 that have not posted at all.

    Parents had vynal me ... no. I had a few tapes back in day mostly CDs and had a few VHS. But not a audio file and hate movies so I have never had more movies than fit in a small box. Never saw a point to those who spend a huge portion of their check on videos or the movies. But some would say the same about bullets or saws or fuel for the boat I guess?

    It was me gbreda! I hope you enjoy it. I've got a 110 and that one is a replica down scaled 110 called the 55. Perfect for the pocket. Glad you liked it.

    Merry Christmas!

    But I have no idea who my SS was!

    I don't know mine. It could be Paul Bunyon.. based on an e-mail I received, but then again he may have just been passing on information. PB?

    Okay. I know some of you read between the lines of my poor attempt at humor with my poem. But some did not see it. So here is my info.

    I was Scotty's secret Santa. I got him a gift card to TSC because I did not have a clue what to get him and was way to busy to make him something.

    I received a Stihl hatchet from my secret Santa, Master Mechanic. Thanks again M.M.! Love it!

    And thanks to you P.B. for organizing this S.S. thingy. Worked out great!

    Same here population 389 when I was little at least the sign said that for 9 years. The gas station was owned by my uncle and the other was a small family owned one as well. If you pulled in they came running and wouldn't let you out of the car to pump they also never accepted a tip. My uncle owned a 76 I haunt seen a 76 since the early 90's.

    Fishingpol. If you make these on a regular basis you better be careful Mike from Maine does not confuse these for the ring he desires so badly. He may begin to follow you to the ends of the earth for it! I think he is the guy with that avatar. Isn't he?

    Hey, thank you so much!! I didn't have a clue! The packaging from Amazon even said from Secret Santa! LOL!! It will get great use! I am going to do my first run with it, sometime in early January just to check how I'm doing with the new stove, Fireview versus my previous smoke dragon.

    Thanks again Santa!!!

    Your welcome! There really easy to use. Prep work is the biggest issue, to contain the powder.

    Seal all the chimney inlets or you'll have the creosote dust all over your house. Is that what you mean?

    Yes, I'll try to post a video or pictures when I do mine in a week or so. But I remove all the pipe up to the ceiling connections. Then thread the rod through the bottom of the trash bag. Tape the trash bag up to the connections. Then just start going up the pipe, one connection at a time. I use the drill on the low setting. I dont know how tall your pipe is, but I had to purchase a extra set of rods to go to the top. If you have any question give me a shout and I'll try to help explain more.
