*giggle* I sound like an after thought.
It's all this campfire and marshmallow talk. The thing is that Ezz is probably the only one that has weather good enough for a camping trip right now.
Oh well *grabs a sledge hammer and attacks a wall*

Spin off container. Mine is a two litter pop bottle that I've cut the top off and then attached some striing as a handle. This way you'll be able to reuse the fuel that you would have lost when you spun off your excess fuel.
Good luck and we want pictures posted before you go to bed.

I'm a SUPER USER!!!
Right now I'm on a project that is implementing a new version of manufacturing software at work. We implemented it the first time about four years ago and we've had some minor upgrades, but this new version has some very major changes to it so testing has to be detailed. So my duties are to test all functionalities of the system that are used by the two groups that I belong to, Base Data and Engineering Change, and help other departments when our processes cross.
I'll be going nuts through the summer.

Do I wanna come? Of course I do! I just will never go during their summer. I can do a real good impression of a cooked lobster here at home, it would be even worse down there. But there are a few festivals that I've been told that I need to attend. There is one that lasts for about a week just after Christmas, *sigh* their summer of course.
But like you it all comes down to when I can scrape the money together. It will happen again one day. Then I still have to make a trip to the UK too.
