Nice save! That would be a fun project for someone who has access to replacement parts and/or the ability to make their own.

Sucks, but I would be inclined to do the same if I ran a shop. Sometimes in life we just have to eat the censored sandwich.

Since everybody seems to be focused on the ///s, here's a thought to throw you off. I clean my Glock with dish soap and water. Then just a very little Remington Gun Oil on a couple of spots. Been doing it for 30 years.

Your Dad reminds me of mine, except yours packed a lot more fun gear for the trip. All we ever took camping was whatever he could fit in the trunk of his 1969 Cutlass Supreme, and the gear squeezed into the back seat between my sister and me.

If I only need a little of a certain oil, I'm not buying a 5 qt jug.

We don't need a permit anymore in AL, but I still get mine because of travel to TN and GA, due to their CCW reciprocity with AL. If I carried in either state without a permit and got snagged, I might not be able to post here for a while.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I fixed this code on an old 1997 Ford Expedition 4.6L by removing and cleaning the intake elbow right behind the throttle body. It was completely caked in black goo that I removed with hand files and sheer will. Not sure if such a thing is possible on this engine. I had previously replaced EGR...

Getting ready to watch House of the Dragon.

I guess it's not too bad, considering it's CA. I'm not a fan of the design, it looks like a huge garage with an accidental house attached. And because I can't help but make an apples to oranges comparison, $1.2M will buy a huge house in a gated community on the Tennessee River here in North AL...
