Creosotian?

Creosote: an oily liquid having a burning taste and a penetrating odor, obtained by the distillation of coal and wood tar, used mainly as a preservative for wood and as an antiseptic.

huh?

Try taking the silverware out and then run it again.



Kidding, I know you're much smarter than that, ken. In fact, you're mechanically inclined and you have a nice assortment of tools. Go for it.

Little early in the morning for a Diet Pepsi, isn't it, ken ??

Yeah, busy morning here, too, and I have to get ready to get to work... the dreaded 10:45 to 7:00 shift.

Actually every morning after motoring I change cloths completely before putting on my dress shirt and pants..
So you can kind of imagine how hot I am and thirsty after the morning drive. sometimes I want to have a second can.

Ordered my CG lock. Outmotoring rules!

Cool, Paul. Did you celebrate by hitting triple digits on the speedo as you hit 40K ?

Bergey, my CR Cooper, hit 30,000 last week.

BTW, anyone else having problems with the site tonight ? Response time is really slow for me.
