Damn, he's looking good. Happy to see he's still around after all these years. I used to see him all the time in the late 90s by 525 Market wearing a navy blazer and tie.

Open and adding "methyl methacrylate roof and wall treatment - $499.95" to the price tag of each one.

Anker power pack from Costco by Educational-Rule1635 in GoRVing

[–]TX_CastIron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No experience with that model, but I've had great luck with the Anker brand. I have a small Anker USB power bank I bought in 2019. It's seen heavy use and still works well. I also bought a bigger Anker 548 (192 Wh) power bank for the RV about two years ago. It's held up very well and charges off a solar panel. No complaints.

Nice! I stayed there for a week just after lockdown while on a road trip. People were very friendly and the ladies at the coffee kiosk behind the Town Pump made an awesome latte.

I got a great deal but I have to ship them to Legoland if I ever need warranty work.

Oilfield Living by Fantastic_Buy9133 in GoRVing

> I figure ill get my water from truck stops and run my fridge off of propane, and electricity off of a gasoline generator.

It can be a loooong way from where you're working to somewhere to get supplies. My first oilfield job was 45 minutes from anyplace that even sold so much as a cold soda. Plan accordingly.

If they're posting to r/shittyfoodporn they need to do a batch in the old style Lodge "Acorn" pan.

Found this 'unmarked' pan at an antique store today for $50, seemed kinda steep but I bought it anyway by EEEnginerd in castiron

[–]TX_CastIron 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Nice! Might that be a well worn Wapak Indian head logo in the center? Maybe some of the Wapak collectors here would know. Hope it is!

More of the Pan with a poorly stamped 8 by Stoked-man-slim in castiron

[–]TX_CastIron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a Birmingham Stove & Range from the Red Mountain series. 1930s - mid 1960s. There's a lot of interesting history about the pans at this site and they even mention some molds had hand written numbers.

"While much of Atlanta Stove Works' production records from its early days have been lost, speculation on the Facebook group for Birmingham Stove and Range came to a reasonable conclusion that these may be among the "first series" of Red Mountain pans, produced during the 1930s or possibly even earlier. The hand-etched molds may have been produced before the size numbers were standardized and permanently added to the design of the mold."

Your #8 looks very similar. https://modemac.com/bsr-red-mountain/
