ha! An old buddy around here sells for White's. They went after the fire fighter market and the big fires out west have been a gold mine to them.

Man go to work and you guys are talking about Crap in my Backyard and went I come home its all about RailRoads.
We deal with NS railway for all our steel. We get a train in everyday except Christmas. They keep 2 sets of Power on our site just for us. I also ran the small internal Engines on site to move the steel to its proper location.

I did the dreaded spark plug removal on my car this morning, thankfully they all came out pretty easily. A few of them did squeak a bit on the way out, but they came out with no drama. I had to pick up some anti-sieze from the parts store, so it isn't totally done yet, but I'll finish that tomorrow and it'll be all good.

I remember how much I dreaded that job. Mine were the same. Breaking them loose seemed to be the scariest part. I think it calls for copper anti-seize or something with a higher heat tolerance if I remember right?

Copper or Nickel antiseize will work fine. I also remember that butt hole puckering event.
I think that was worse than laying the jig saw to my hood!

Any of you Chicago area guys feel the earthquake last night? First earthquake I've ever felt, woke me and the wife (and dog) up. Thought maybe my furnace was going to explode or maybe a snow plow. Then, as I was going to bed I said I bet it was an earthquake...
