There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

>>> wax stoves
From a price perspective, hella cheap to burn, eh! But like esbit, probably going to have major build up on the pot (wax and soot?). No idea, never actually tried one. Fun to see what Jon is playing around with though, eh!
>>> modified Starlyte with the metal reducer
Is that the one with part of the middle/flame area covered? I think you showed me one of those at the GGG when Dan sent a bunch. Never did get one of those to try :(
>>> But remember that trip where you brought that thimble sized stove....
lol, yeah, what was that... ah yeah, the "Gram Weenie Mini", made by George Carr - formerly of End 2 End trail Supply, who now owns Loco Libre and is making quilts. That poor little thing was just... well...
