Gee ... and to think, I moved from northern Maine to southwest Virginia
for the winter ... just so I wouldn't have to freeze my nuts off (less
corrosion in the south).

Well, my transmission fill plug is not coming loose at the moment (too
much time up north?) and I'm considering trying Freeze & Release.  I see
that Fastenal stores are supposed to carry it, and there's one in
Abingdon (about 15 miles from me).  Fastenal's website doesn't list
Freeze & Release, though.  Maybe the store has it but the website just
hasn't been updated.
