I met Doug for the first time at the meeting and I can tell you he is a class act.
And, he doesn't act his age at all!

I wish I had been able to share the privilege, he strikes me as a remarkable individual.

John.
I would have loved to join them.
That's great you all had a meeting and am surprised it was in the Chicago area. I hope you all enjoyed it.
As the occasional lurker I missed the announcements :-( Would have made it for sure.
I'm sure it's amazing to realize there are real people behind these keyboards!

If this was 1990, I would have been there ... used to live in Lombard. Sorry I missed this.
Sad I had to miss it. Hopefully I'll be able to make the next one. D:

Yep, they made metal cans and rolled cardboard cans.
One of my first jobs as my dad's assistant mechanic was to use the metal oil spout to puncture the oil cans before pouring oil into the Buick's big V8, cast iron monster.
If the bottom part (flange?) of the metal oil spout was turned slightly toward the cardboard can during insertion, you had to be careful not to puncture the cardboard can's side, or else.
Sometimes, if the cardboard can was weak, it would crush down. Either way, it could be messy.
At that time, we used nothing more than 20W20.

VALVOLINE!!!!!! My Dad used that stuff by the case, (and that's when you got 24 quarts per case). Same can - opened many a can of that stuff - brings back a lot of memories. He had an old Detroit Diesel that took five gallons of motor oil, it was my job to change it. By the time you were done, you had a mountain of empty cans.
Who is WWILLSON?

You know, ChiTDI, some Elf talk face-to-face would have been fun. I am sorry I missed it and that ELVISH had left the building.
How I never got into the Elf business with their namesake motor oil is beyond me. Elf oils were just begging to be included. I dropped the ball on that one.
