Teakettle, do you still have the Amazon link for those cans? Would appreciate if you could post that for me. I'm not finding it. ...Maybe it's gone already.

As for whether we buy local or online, let me say this:

We've lived here for 15 years and are nearly an hour drive from the smallest little blip of a town. The nearest Walmart is 75 miles away, and the nearest city is 2 hours away.

Our local grocery store has gotten more uptown and carrying things we've never seen, but there has NEVER been much of a selection at the other stores. We used to be forced to make the 1.5 hour trip to Walmart, but it's a smaller Walmart and often doesn't have what we're looking for -- which means that long drive shot to heck. Can't even remember the last time we went to Grand Forks (2 hours away) just to go shopping. It's been years!

So Amazon has been a great asset to us....has us spending much more than we ever did before, yet paying much less for things we used to get locally but are no longer stocked.

I'm all for the small Mom-n-Pop stores, but for us, they're too far away and don't have what we need. ...Waiting on Amazon? That's normally quicker than us making it to town, assuming we call ahead to make sure they have what we need.

We've got nothing bad to say about Amazon.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga ...
