Though when the promise comes due in the middle of winter, it might take me a while.
I promised that if the Patreon account crossed $100/mo, I’d put actual shock absorbers on all four corners of the Jeep.

Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Nice… Your lower back and your butt will thank you.
Assuming you’re going to change them yourself, here is the absolutely best stuck nut busting mixture proven to date.
50% tranny fluid mixed with 50% Acetone (a little 8oz bottle is about a buck).

Had to change my 1976 Ford F150 water pump this winter and I couldn’t get the fan clutch off even with a torch. It is the original engine stuff as I’ve had this truck since 78.
It was to the point where I may have had to tow the thing to the shop. In frustration, I found this on the web, got some together in a disposable water bottle and used it.
Let it sit for the day and that afternoon, this stubborn nut popped free with little effort. Glory be to God for that one.
Hope LB doesn’t think his new ride is too soft.
