I keep one in the back of my car all the time. Is the size of a lunch box and will do the trick on my vehicle or camper tires with no problem. Also, propane frige won't work well if not level. back in the 1940s my mother used to bury a cherry can (bulk fruit delivered to the local mom/pop store) and use as a ice chest at our camp. kept it a little below ground level and covered lid with layer of pine needles. Worked like a charm! Handy item is a portable air compressor that works from your car 12v plugin. I keep one in the back of my car all the time.

Be careful, your other 1/2 may plot to join forces with the Old Cranks for the hose incident! IF we had neighbors other than bugs, we'd have the same beer gathering. Any signs of snapping turtles? This time of the year they make their way away from the water the lay their eggs. They get freakin HUUUGE! And, sadly Rufus may be curious...that's my warning. spew!!

Wow, you are sure coming along with your place; Country Mouse living suits you. Haven't heard from you in a while...kinda miss that. Best wishes and hope Cranky Pants doesn't get too far under your skin. I've got one living next door to me too. He's costing me a heap in that I'm having to pay for an unnecessary land survey before I refence that side of my property (trying to avoid an argument). Ugh. kind regards, HDR Hi there City Mouse!

I'm just really, really surprised that you can find a cranky person in the Adirondacks (not). I really like your “old cranky guy” report everyday.

None of it spilled on the ground or anything. Of course, I guess you could apply the term to the disgraced pair of hands. Polluted Hands. Hee! Why pollution TourPro?

On summer evenings, it always amused me to look out to the road and see all the neighbor boys gathered in the street drinking beers together- standing around and talking. It was very reminiscent of that "King of the Hill" TV show. We also suffered a high water table level, particularly in spring. On occasion the- ahem- waste water would bubble up into the herb garden. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww. When we lived in Wilmington, our little road was a dead end.
