    First American in Space went in a rocket designed from a handcrafted model

    It wasn't? Thought Texas and New Mexico were about as "Merican as you can get. I think the real thing that took Shepard up was all US built by a bunch of red/white/blue blooded craftsmen too.

    Current top 0w-20’s?

    Top 0W-20? Well it's only one digit off; Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 😁. If you must though, the ESP 0W-20 is a top contender for the watery stuff.

    Any cheap / free ideas to cool a garage?

    It does. Standard sq. footage is generally rated at 8' ceiling height, so you would have to calculate accordingly. My house has 3 zones and the first level is about 1800 sq.ft., but has 2 areas with 16' ceilings. Calculations call for 3 ton, but they installed a 3.5 ton due to extra ceiling...

    2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250R; HPL MC 10w-40 2.8k mi

    Even with the massive fuel dilution, I think the Amsoil served you better in this engine. If you want to stick with HPL, I'd give them a cal and discuss the details of your UOA.

    Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

    Good thing you don't shop at any of the Walmarts near me, they are out of M1 ESP 0W-30. Some crazy fan boy must be working on his stash 😁.

    Lithium ion battery explosion in my garage.

    You forgot another first part; advertising. Anytime you see Flo, Jake, the Gecko, or Limu, guess who is paying for that?

    Suzuki transfer case oil question

    0w-20 direct injection oils

    I think Mitsubishi was doing that as a hedge against possible LSPI.
