FIRE

I have made fire at my house. Checked to see if my dad's old 70 year old Zippo works. It does.

His WWII lighter needs some work. It wants to also make fire again. Think the flint tube needs to be drilled clean. New RTT inspired Boxster project.

Should have thought to ask the RTT and CF crew. This lighter of D-X Oil Company says "Pool Car Winner 1953". No idea what that means. I has to be something to do with sales volume. All you get via google is stuff about company cars. This was a small town fuel and oil route and warehouse so no company cars.

Think it means pool in the car.

First world problems.....Want to take my wife out of the country for our 25th anniversary. We normally go in January to Mexico, Belize, Honduras, etc. Our anniversary is in July and during the rainy season. Don't really want to go back to Hawaii. Other options? Not interested in All Inclusives. Maybe Cabo?

Are you set on something tropical or would you be open to something like Ireland?

I think for our anniversary, she wants to do something relaxing and most likely tropical. We went to Scotland last year and Ireland a few year before that. We've been pretty much all over western Europe, which we love but this would be more of a chill vacation.

I'd really like to go back to Belize but rain could could ruin the whole trip since the island we go to is 100% dependent on good weather. No TV, no entertainment, etc. Just booze, food, and water
