    Deere and right to repair

    Well, the guy they are interviewing is the immediate past chairman of one of California's regional water districts. I was actually interested in what he was saying about California's reservoir system, not the politics of the issue, since Ca state politics doesn't interest me much.

    Convert 3204 to di

    Okay, so it's the lubricity of the material on initial torque that makes the difference, that makes sense. Personally I use nickel based on everything because I like to look like I just had wild sex with the tin man everytime I pick up the bottle.

    1993 Case 580SK backhoe
