Changed the oil in my service truck this morning and found a bunch of metallic flakes stuck to the drain plug, which sucks cause my 550 is now parked and had to start moving all my tools into a dodge til my Kenworth shows up.

well when one is partially asleep typing can get confusing... but the part about the mirror is an old trick to see if someone is still breathing.. on some its hard to find a pulse and if the breaths are shallow enough it can sometimes be hard to tell if theyre breathing.. so you put a mirror under the nose to see if it fogs up from the exhaling breaths...

Anyone here going to Canton for their Labor Day event, or Blue Bear Mountain for the music festival the following weekend?

I ask because I'm putting NC on notice that you will be invaded from the south for about 10 days while I hit both events. Sam Bush, Ricky Skaggs, Larry Keel, etc. Plus good NC craft beer.

I have a bit of FTE swag I could bring if I knew others were attending either event. Hit me up here or via a message.

Cheers Northern Neighbors!
