Default tubes

Great to hear that David was able to get help from the MLU community to acquire some tubes...however the most catching comment was provided by Bob C. who fondly remembers using/smashing large tubes as grenades when he was a kid.. ahh the good old days! I was just telling a bunch of kids about how my brothers and I were told by our Dad to dump the black oil he drained from his car on the gravel lane behind our house to keep the dust down! No more.

Used to do the same thing when I was a kid, actually. A friend's Dad was a Radio/TV Repairman and used to be our grenade supplier. Come to think of it, he had been in Canadian Signals during the war and had married a girl from Holland.
