When I came home from Vietnam in 1967, my new wife bought me a Swan 500.
Our next station was to NASA in Houston. We got settled into an
apartment, and I needed to fill my Cantenna so on Sunday [first clue],
we went to the local grocery store to get a gallon of Squibb mineral
oil. It only came in quarts so I put 4 in the basket. Checking out,
the clerk, with a big grin, [second clue] said, "You're going to drink
all of that, right?" Before I could say, "Give me a break!", she
continued, "Because if you're not, I can't sell it to you on Sunday." I
answered, "Yes," she rang it up, and with the same big grin, said as we
left, "Hope it works for ya'll."

Brings back memories My cantenna as a kid needed "transformer oil".
My Dad used to work at the local hydro plant. Got a whole gallon of
the best PCB oil no money can buy. 73 Russ KD4JO
