OUCH! I've tried to reduce my caffeine intake to no avail. The caffeine withdrawal headache cannot be properly expressed in words here on BITOG without risking a permanent vacation from the board. I wish you complete success, Pablo.

I've been using LC20 for several years now. I have found it is a very powerful oil antioxidant- it takes a long time for my oil to darken when I use it. Also, Terry Dyson mentioned LC20's coefficient of friction reduction and I do believe it works in that way as well, an experience I had about...

It is very rare for me not to receive a thank-you when I hold the door open, but the first time I can remember in a long time happened just a couple of weeks ago. As for cashiers- if they ask how I am I tell them and also ask how they are, and I do try to be sincere. I do recall a couple of...

Since I do not have TV, the only Olympic sport I was able to watch televised was curling when I visited Granite Curling Club in Seattle last Saturday. Curling is a fantastic sport, and it was also great to hear that Nicole Joraanstad made the U.S. Women's Team- I remember her from a few years...

Yep, should be good- although I still think the old 2 oz./quart ratio for 2500-3000 miles or whatever the mileage was, will work fine, JMO.

It never gave a thought about the magazine springs in my SIG Pro SP2022 mags- good thing, too, because I have 16 magazines for it (two, 12-rounders for SD and 14, ten-round California-type for practice). Admittedly, though, I rarely shoot it but will probably do much more of such when I get all...

You order salad with oil and vinegar dressing and insist on a VOA.

I was never compensated for speaking highly of Auto-Rx. It worked for me, though. And I use LC20 between the ARX'ings... it works for me, too. Yeah, if somebody sends another member a PM berating their usage of LC20, that IMO is clearly crossing the line.

That is really a bummer to hear, Pablo. Was that the NAPA at the far end of Carnation in the real old building, on the right-hand side as you're heading (south)? I remember doing a paving job through the town back in '97 or so and recall seeing a NAPA there. Losing a NAPA store is almost like...

I think Pablo hit the nail on the head- HDD is about the very best 5W-30 IMO for such use, and anywhere a 5W-30 is called for. A very stout oil.

I never used a torque wrench on my USA-made vehicles but always do on my '95 Civic- 34 foot-pounds from memory. And always a new crush washer.

The OP's question is a very good one and I am also curious as to what's best out there today in the tap and die realm... For the record, I very seldom use taps and dies but they are truly indispensable when you need them. I have a small-ish Hanson set that I bought at Ernst Hardware many years...

I believe dentists have the most thankless job on the planet- it seems that NO ONE wants to go there. I do not believe dentists enjoy making anyone suffer, or at least they shouldn't. About five years ago I moved about 100 miles north of where I spent pretty much my entire life but I still have...

My 2001 Honda Harmony II mower has had synthetic oil from day one- first M1 5W-30 or 10W-30, then AMSOIL ASL 5W-30 and now ACD 10W-30/30 with a dash of Auto-Rx.

Joined. Really nice to see the diversity of sections, especially the reloading ones, instead of being lumped into one general catch-all.

For me, it tends to be: 1) Oil Additives; 2) General and Off-Topic; 3) Lawn Mower and Small Engine; 4) Computers; and 5) Humor. Since I recently obtained a Ruger GP100 I have been hanging around the Firearms section a lot more...

The fact that BITOG is, in fact, intended to be a family-friendly website and enforced as such is one reason I still like this board. Tony ran a tight ship, no question about it. If Helen and the other moderators wish to continue in that tradition, more power to 'em. The one major challenge...

I guess I have an awful lot of old school in me- even though I knew Ruger mentioned in their manuals that it was OK to dry-fire their revolvers such as the GP100, I still would not do so without something such as an eraser or one of them newfangled "Snap-Cap" thingies. I just can't bring myself...
