I feel like I'm in a Disney movie...

Mini? Cricket? Minor?  Which torch do I get?!?

So, it all started a couple days ago when I played on my friend's Nortel Minor.  I probably mentioned it, and if I didn't, too bad.  I have been getting impatient with my Hot Head because it's so damn slow to melt anything because it's so cold.  It doesn't have an oxygen line, just air intake vents on the side, so it doesn't have the FLAMING POWER OF O2 and it doesn't get hot enough to burn a burger let alone melt glass.  Well, that's not exactly true, but it does take a firk-ding-blast long time!  I can't make a tiny spacer in less than 8 minutes.

After working on the Minor (and the fire) I was complaining to someone on LWE chat about the Hot Head and they told me there was a bulk buy going on in the LWE garage sale forum for GTT Crickets and Bobcats.  Ok, to make a long story short, I decided I wanted a Cricket, and then started discussing oxygen tanks with my hubby.  After a few hours of that I started researching oxygen concentrators.  This long story isn't getting any shorter, is it?  To make a really long story only kinda short, today, after much angsting, I offered to buy someone's new Nortel Minor, oxygen concentrator, and the regulator and hoses to go with.

If you really want to know all the angsty twists and turns it took me to get there, then you're sicker than I am.

I'll be sending my father-in-law over to the seller's house tomorrow to pick those up.  Oh, pick them up you say?  Yeah, the seller doesn't want to go through the hassle of shipping, and the oxycon itself is such a great deal, and my FIL lives in the same town, that he's kindly agreed to pick the stuff up for us and ship it himself.  Isn't he a great guy!
