Well, our long awaited cold front finally came through. The temperature went from mid 70's to upper 50's in about 15 minutes. With the sudden decrease in temps come rain, so I am grilling under our awning tonite. On the menu is bratwurst and sauerkraut. :) Michael (wireless) IM: mwsmith70

Well, it's too nasty outside (76 degrees and what seems like 100% humidity,) so we are inside watching football. The Bills are getting 0wn3d by the Patriots. Funny thing is that there is supposed to be a front coming thru tomorrow that will bring temps down to the mid thirties. Whay can't that be today? Michael (wireless) IM: mwsmith70

Since we are camping in the winter, and the sun goes down earlier, I take a lantern with me. The lantern I have is a 1960 NATO issue Petromax lantern. I bought it two years ago on ebay, direct from Germany. It was unused, and was like opening a time capsule. These lanterns are extremely powerful, putting off as much light as 4 coleman lanterns...roughly equivalent to a 400 watt light bulb. The also run on just about any liquid fuel available. I have run mine on coleman fuel, gasoline, kerosene, diesel and citronella oil. Truly a great lantern! Michael (wireless) IM: mwsmith70

We're out camping for our annual spend new year's in the park trip. Pretty nice out, I think around 69 or so. Light breeze and mostly cloudy. Supposed to cool off by monday, into the 30's. Michael (wireless) IM: mwsmith70

The muffler is breaking loose on my generator, so my dad is working his welding magic on it. What a nice day to be outside! Michael (wireless) IM: mwsmith70
