Happy New Year to you as well.

So, the big question is do we say twenty ten OR two thousand and ten??

Either, except leave the "and." It's grammatically and numerically
incorrect.

Just make sure you have enough powdered toast!

And gasoline for that smokin' Olds 442. Where'd THAT come from way
forward then?

Had a 5HP one that was all sleeve brgs.

Mix gas/oil around 25:1, not 50:1 for today's engines and you will be
a happy camper.

Cupla years back I drove to the homestead to get grampa's boat. Dad had
it shrink wrapped for me, after grampa died. It's a 14 foot moulded
hull money sink, but it was his, and now its mine. Nothing else
matters.

Brother Brian (the useful one of three... high steel and stainless
welder, knowns his ****) is there to check things out before I haul off
home on a 9 hour drive. Turns out the wheel bearings on the trailer are
shot, not unexpected. He has the welding truck and there's a bit of
repair that's worth doing. Gets done.

So. anyway.

Welding + gasoline fumes finally got him, did they?

Oh.
I have a 5 gallon tank of leaded gas. 25 years, it's been sitting, and
likely as good as the day it was refined.

Except in a 2-stroke weed eater, I've never had a problem with year or
5 old gas. You?


Even better? It's "purple gas". Gramps was a farmer and bought the dyed
stuff tax free.

Cool! That Olds surely had leaded gas in it, too.

Question: Do you feel that the removal of lead from our ecosystem has
resulted in a smarter and more savvy civilization?

I don't, either. If anything, society seems to be dumbing down.

As of yesterday, all contractors in the USA have to test (and control)
all paint for lead for areas over 6 square feet. It's going to cost
me $25 (min) to test granny's barn paint for lead, so estimates are
going to start costing people.

Lead paint was banned for sale in the US 32 years ago.

Do you feel safer yet?

Don't know about others, but if I leave gas in my lawn mower carb for even
a couple of weeks, it's a major effort getting it started the next time.
Shut off the gas and let it run itself out, no problem, a couple of pulls
and it takes off. Gas over 6 months old also seems to have the same effect.
In our area, we have to have one of those cafe blends during parts of the
year, I suspect that may have something to do with it.

So, what happens if the test comes back positive for lead?

Oh yeah, just loads safer. /sarcasm

Nope. But then that was then. Now is now. Thanks to all of the folks that
spend their days thinking of how to protect us from everything, we now have
oxygenated fuels and ethanol fuels. New problems now. Fuels today have an
affinity for water and very quickly become very acidic. Now we get to deal
with new problems such as carb seals disintegrating, etc. The crap they
foist on us just brings more and more new problems. I don't even bother to
keep 5 gallon cans of fuel on hand anymore, if I can't plan on using the
over the period of a couple of months. And to think - there were times when
the gas tank in my '45 Allis Chalmers WC might have gone a year without
having been re-fueled - with no problems.
