I got sun burned yesterday at Lake Vyrnwy supping cold white wine and eating a crab salad; we were sitting just about where the pic was taken from. Wales is renowned for it's clement and equable climate. Probably. :scratch: Eug |

Mine did not and I had to overhaul the carb every year due to deposits from the evaorating gasoline. I add a shut off and have had zero carb problems in the last five years. You have to remember to shut the gas off and run the carb dry before storage though. Found that out when I tried to start my generator during a power outage. Joe |

I have to remember to not only shut the fuel off and run the carb dry, but to remember to turn the ignition off when it runs out of gas! I wish I had a dollar for every time I've gone to the shed to get the tractor out only to find the battery is flat... Chuck |

Probably. :scratch: Eug --- End quote --- Our recollections of Wales were my father setting fire to a horse in WW1 and one of my RAF Squadron who was on the Abominable Snowman Expedition with Eric Shipton. Apart from being probably conceived in the Principality, that's it. Snow- well that is the stuff that comes as a surprise to the English each year. For the Scots and we hardier breed of people who speak - Viking, we get snow in October sufficient to ski on and even kill hardy shepherds. Last November we had had Fools' Snow and then enough to last from Armistice Day in the Cairngorms-- and it is still there. I've just come back from Austria and for the 17th year running, we have had snow coming out of the rain in August. As the Irish say 'Quelle Surprise' Norman |
