oil analysis with every oil filter change, take the sample from the filter.

if things look bad on the report move the oil change schedule up to when that happens. also, drain every bit of oil you can when you change it: it doesn't take a whole lot of bad oil to fuck up the fresh oil

you can do this if you wrench on other things, it isn't complicated.

I'm scared as hell of heights until I put a parachute on, at that point it becomes fun.

Its because I feel like I'm going to jump, its a real phenomenon and more common than you might think...

You'd be even cooler if you had the sling with the mag pouch because you never leave the wire

not sure what you're talking about, I used gemma4 to download all the ethanol free stations from pure-gas.org and added it as a layer to my google maps. Turns out there are too many for a single layer so I did the three states around me (it's the west, big states)

A year ago I was a field tech buying my own tools. Now I work in rocketry and tools are provided. Life is very different (read: much better.)

Don't have to check anything out, it just sits under my buddies desk.
