Seems to me the companines that produce these instruments should have been sending out warning notices to registered buyers - they send enough marketing flyers. It cost almost as much for a new engine as for a new tiller so I bought a new tiller - $300 and the paint barely scratched on the old one. I am really annoyed that this has not been better publicized. So far I have only run across two people who knew this. Pass the word. Use gas one grade higher.

Questions may be directed to leroymuseum@frontiernet.net. Sent in by site guest Suzanne Congdon: Now, I ask you, why didn't we know about this before???  Many people have a problem reading small text, so this is very useful when trying to read small e-mail or web page print.  If you hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and turn the small wheel in the middle of your mouse, the print size will change - it will either get larger or smaller - depending on which way you turn the wheel. Try it - you'll be amazed at the difference! Please pass this on to others who may find it useful. I'm sure glad somebody told ME!!! Note from Joyce, I am corrected to 20/12 vision and like a smaller, neater type. So for those of you who have trouble with the size 12 font I normally use, this may be a good tip for you. Actually I tried it and did not get the result that is described.

Researchers are invited to call Pat Wainwright at 607-739-1642 to set up an appointment for research.  They can come on Sundays but I might not have the time to work with them and it  can get a bit confusing. The exhibit featured this year is RELIGION IN ERIN, featuring church and family Bibles. Two of our most popular exhibits and favorite questions are the railroads and schools.  If there are an questions feel free to contact Pat Wainwright, Curator & Librarian at rodopat@juno.com  Pat Wainwright 17 JUL 2006 1860 Census - Town of VanEtten 1870 Canton Township & Alba Borough Census All of you who use my site know I do not often link to other sites. BUT this one is so good and the person who has done it so very charming that I am adding it. Charles Page , now in his mid eighties, has written of his early years in Oneida County NY. He writes beautifully and tells the story of rural life wonderfully well. He gets to the heart of a person's life story. Be sure to visit Charles and listen to his tales.  http://www.geocities.com/pagestories/ Today 47 of 48 lower states reached 90 degrees and 26 reached 100.
