Yet another reason to drive a diesel. I stick a few drops of diesel in my
ears ever week. It keeps them running well. Every other week I add a little
two stroke oil because the diesel these days doesn't have the sulfur my ears
need.

Sorry--feeling a little punchy today after single-handedly HOISTING AND
INSTALLING MY NEW ENGINE TODAY!!! HA HA HA HA. I feel so happy. Firing-up
details to follow...
