    Been over 23'' here since then, not counting the rain pouring down this morning. My garden has been decimated.

    I had some great heirloom tomatoes till the last round of heavy rains hit. They all exploded from taking on so much water causing the bugs to get into them. I should of planted more peppers, and lettuce, they did great.

    Up until working at Pratt & Whitney now I always used to call out sick or WFH on my birthday since the company would always plaster everones birthdays around the office. That is my personal business and I dont feel like having strangers at work say happy birthday to me. You dont know or care about me! :D

    Might want to consider Cosmoline RP-342 if the chassis is still rust free, and clean. This stuff has worked far better than fluid flim, or other lanolin based rust inhibitors that need to be reapplied every year living in connecticut when I owned my tundra. I did my tacoma 3 years ago just once with the cosmoline, and not a lick of rust showing anywhere yet.
