WOAH.... DRI LUBE, eh?

Hmmm.

Jumbo shrimp
Clearly confused
Act naturally
Deafening silence
Pretty ugly
Definitely maybe
Only choice


I GET IT!!!!!!!!


Often I don't make it that long though, because the Bridges are known to dump out a tank if you let them get too low.


Which is a far better scenario than a FULL tank dumping out.

ask me how I know.... :facepalm:

Wow, now that's some hardware!

My Billet Box opens and closes with ease now. I was changing batteries and it wouldn't open even banging it on the stand. There was some Vaseline sitting there and I thought I haven't tried that yet. I put just the tinniest bit on and then wiped it off leaving a little film on it and it works almost too easy.
yay!!!

yes you should have!! :lol:

I shall only be able to look and admire from afar:tumble:. There is no paper, or shiny metallic objects or the different arrays of multi colored plastics that hold monetary value in my grasp :unsure::2c:. I shall be hopeful that when time comes a nice shiny Titanium Billet Box might be mine. LOL:lol::lol: have a wonderful weekend ahead. ;) :thumbs: :toast:

Excellent. Another thing to keep in that kitchen draw for stuck things including the billet boxes is dry lube. I am not sure what you would call it in the states but I use this for lots of things, like curtain rails, draw rails.

It does not attract dust or particles and is almost too good. Use sparingly
The only thing I can think of would be graphite?? We use it at the PO to fix sticky PO box locks.

I always smile when I see these. I think I will just frame a photo of one. Much easier to keep clean and would get about as much use. :p

I talked to Doug on the phone about a month or so ago, and he told me he had about 10 of these that were not finished yet. It is kind of bad timing for me as far as cash goes, I just ordered a new computer, which I was not planning on. I am not sure I just might try to order one anyway but I really don't trust this computer, not sure on the price, but last time they were $750.00. I just might have to get a loan to pay for it. :unsure:

Graphite and it's dang good stuff for lubricating locks and other things you don't want OIL in because OIL collects dust etc. and then you're worse off than you were.
