Spridget Professors,
Thanks so much again for all the help, you guys are so important to me. I
remember telling Frank when we went to pick up my Bugeye only a year or two
before he left us that besides being sad that my father passed away I was
technically lost not knowing where to get good answers to my technical
questions. But you guys on this list and Frank's genius put my mind at
ease. With threads like these I feel like I just walked out of a classroom
with brilliant instructors that made the class the best class ever.

Snow was 12"-18" and no need for the genny but so happy I have it ready for
both myself and my neighbor and her 2 small boys and any friends or family
with there pets that will come over if needed. I tried to post my youtube
of the genny running but forgot my youtube password. I'll try again after I
shovel the snow as it will freeze tonight and some more snow later in the
week.

Special thanks to:

Rick
Kevin
Trevor
Guy
Hal
Peter
John
Billy

Happy Spridgeting, and thank you Professors,
Linda : )

PS If anyone can tell me why is it that when ever I finally end up using
starting fluid most engines fire right up and can I use it in a 2 stroke
engine carburetor being they use oil and gas mixture. My weed wacker and my
chain saw kill me arm trying to get them started after sitting a week or
two.
