    I don't know. All the reviews are good from people that use it on equipment.

    I think it will awesome to keep the frame rails, axles, and undercarriage nice and clean.

    will be incorporated and donates to those who hate.

    I was going in to the Denny's, and noticed there were four of us old guys converging on the door.

    All of us moving in the manner of guys with hip or knee injuries, all of us strong of arm, some of us thick in the middle.

    T-shirts, jeans, work boots. Some ball caps.

    The first guy to the door opens it and holds it, with a word of greeting as each man passes.

    As I bring up the rear, I pull up to "walking attention", snap him a textbook salute, and give him a "Thank you, SIR!"

    He laughs. "You're welcome, buddy."

    All is not lost.......

    Hot Water Washers are great for that

    Here's one in the same Price Range with double the PSI

    Before her injury, Keri was always making fun of me for being slow and saying things like "Come on grandpa"! This morning she and I were talking about things going forward and she asked me what did I feel about actually being a grandpa? I told her I'm fine with it, but are you fine with 2 AM feedings and diaper changes? I got a really dirty look! :downtown:

    Well, I took the big step and contacted safety about managers falsifying DVIR reports claiming that issues were resolved when they were still DOT issues. Good thing my resume is up to date.
