Not trying to get in your business, but I have got to ask, how much did you get them for?

@SGH No worries about asking.  The cooler was 50% off, got it for $10.  The 413G stove was $15.  Both are very serviceable as-is, some clean up work is needed.

All that matters is the certifications of the oil.  A bunch of companies manufacture the oil, but there are very few that make the additives.  It's very expensive to certify additives.  Involves running the oil in engines under time/load and breaking them down and passing very strict wear and chemical analyses.

+1. Project Farms YouTube channel does a great job showing all the different oils, tests, and comparisons. His YouTube channel is a rabbit hole....

Was able to pre-order one of these

4 of mine will whine all day but they're harmless, but the biggest one is a freak and will literally try to eviscerate me.  I have scars to prove it.

One of ours crawled up into an old ottomon and became tangled in the springs. That was an exciting extract I wasn't sure I would live through. Kinda like removing wire from a lawn mower blade with it running.

We got ours taken to the vet this morning. Woke and found a bunch of vomit all over the place and she was super lethargic. $780 later, she has a pretty bad infection. Hopefully, the antibiotics will knock it out.

Not a thing as I figure to get hammered by the OBR fundraiser throw-down.  Go forth and do great things.  See the below for your opportunity to help out.

For my 560sl

Great story glad it had a happy ending. My dad used to call his "my feel good car". Those parts are getting harder to find. Let me know if you need anything else for it, I have some pretty good sources.

Thanks @frazzdaddy - I never thought parts would be so scarce.  I’ll be in touch.

A microscope and some hanging file folder tab things.....

This finally arrived after a few months. The factory had a Covid shut down, so anything not in stock was on back order.

 My recent interaction with Costa Del Mar sucked... apparently they were bought by Luxottica.  It is getting harder and harder to find unique brands that aren't owned by the same three companies.

Crap , I bought a new pair a month ago.

I literally quit rayban because they did not sell or have any way to repair a $200 pair of glasses that were 6 months old.  Now they bought my favorite brand! Carry on

I miss the days when I had Oakley as a sponsor.

My current ones are Nike with prescription polarized gray lenses. A few years ago I could no longer wear contacts and you don’t want me driving blind.

I used to lose or break my sunglasses every five years or so but I've had the same pair of Serengeti Drivers for more than 25 years. Kinda wishing they'd break just so I could buy a new pair. I mean the latest 21st century technology has to be pretty cool yes?

I am off to buy gasoline for the generator.  The power outage that started at 3:30 PM (1st restoration estimate 7 PM; 2nd 3 AM and now 7 AM) is just one of those 3rd world events around here of late.

Ordered a 200A Everlast MIG welder, spool gun, cart with drawers, aluminum and steel wire.  Have 3 old welders and a plasma cutter on craigslist right now, the new stuff makes the old obsolete.  Should be coming in later this week.

@nola what are you replacing your plasma cutter with? 

alaskanassasin

I never bother with my plasma. Torches all the way.
