Tell you what...even if he did clean it, it wouldn't stay that way for long. I've never seen a bike leak oil like that thing. You'd think it doesnt have any gaskets at all. Leaks profusely from every joint. We had it sitting for about 20 minutes, and it left at least a 10" puddle.

Doesn't that follow the old saying about shovel heads???
If there ain't no oil under 'em there ain't no oil in 'em!!!

Oil? Oil? Did someone mention oil?

Here is some beard oil I recently bought.

"Wind bath". Heh.

Good progress this weekend. Got the rest of that damned underlayment up. Mercy, what a chore that was.

Ended up having to open up a big chunk of the subfloor in order to sort out some insane wiring. When they were building this house, there were always tons of beer cans strewn all over the place. I now know who was drinking all the beer. The way they wired in the dishwasher was nuts. It's all sorted now.

Underpayment...worse thing to get up, hate it, either a million staples, nails(ringshank) or screws. Demolition though ranks high in job satisfaction polls, I'm guessing because frustration is easy to express in this job...break that, ruin this, within reason no rules. Might have missed my calling, nah it's all part of the whole in construction. Mess it up, then make it pretty!

Wonderful! It's amazing how diverse 0maha's working crew is turning out to be.

I worked at Heathrow Airport for British Airways during that awful Concorde aircraft tragedy in 2000. One of the things they did to put the rest of the fleet back into service was to line the wing fuel tanks with a layer of rubber armour. The only fitter they had who easily could get around inside the wing tanks to install it, no doubt with breathing apparatus and a big torch, was a pretty and petite young lass......
