Gas cans - another Trump win?
Reversing the idiotic 'safer more eco-friendly' mandatory gas can just reinforces my mantra...

Hate those stupid nozzles. I was about to go to the commercial equipment dealer and buy a commercial gas can that doesn't have that style.

Same reason we have 32 warning labels on ladders.
Lawyers and govt…(often the same thing), regulating what doesn’t need to be regulated.
If you fall off a ladder because you’re an idiot, BLAME YOURSELF!

If you pour gas on a burning bonfire and it blows up unexpectedly, you’re a dumbass that should be thinned from the herd.

Mind you all my fuel cans are older or ‘modified’, but this issue has been a biggie with me for years.

I’ve never seen more spilled fuel than with the ‘epa cans’ or recent years.

It’s time to unregulate the spouts.

I am certain I've spilled more than a gallon of fuel wrestling with these contraptions since their inception. But, on the bright side, very little vapor got out of those cans.

We raise a few chickens and burn an incandescent bulb for heat in the brooder cage. Can't hardly find them now, and I don't like to run a heat lamp in the house because of the fire hazards. I'd love to be able to run to the Walmart or Dollar General and just buy a pack of 75-100 watt bulbs.




Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago.
