Man, I gotta check in more often.

Those parade pictures from Stonethrow are great!

and I'm glad John asked about the fuel shutoff. I've been shutting mine off after taking Ruby out, now I know it was the right thing to do. Anyway, I promised to report back on my experiment with Free All. This stuff works great, friends and neighbors!

I turned a sparkplug that had soaked for about week, and it turned easily! I turned my attention to one of the loaders hydraulic fittings that was badly rusted and dry. I tried to turn it with a wrench and it wouldn't budge. I sprayed a little Free All and ten seconds later it started to move (with a little persuasion)

They have a website which lists distributors

One last thing, check out my new shirt! Pretty cool, huh?
