    I live 20 miles from Lake Michigan, the wind “usually “ comes from the west. Leaf blowing can be a challenge sometimes when ole mom nature gets cranky.

    If you have one, a heat gun might come in handy if you need to spot heat an area for that little bit more flex during install. Just an idea ... :notsure:

    So far , so good on the Laminex fog light film. All the tiny bubbles are gone and it’s been through the fancy automatic car wash a few times. We’ ll see how they like the sub zero temperatures this winter :fingerscrossed:

    I absolutely have two.
    One gets real hot
    The second one burns paint and melts plastic to fire mode.

    Off to Wally World for 2 5qt jugs of oil for the Tundra. Oil change coming up in 2-3 weeks. I've been saving random empty qt containers to remove 1.5qts from one.

    Hmmm ... handy bit of kit. Actually used mine Thursday ... after thawing Stitch in garage first stop was local grocery 3 mins from house; caught my son on break and talked for 30 mins. Next stop fuel station, melted frost iced up tonneau rubber seal to tailgate. Instead of taking chance at ripping the seal, I spun back by the house and hit it with the heatgun 'til melted and dry. :thumbsup:

    Nice! :thumbsup:

    :rofl:

    Mornin’

    was going to go after the Taco frame rot today, but dang my lazy bone is in overdrive.

    Working Monday through Wednesday, then off until the week after thanksgiving. So I might just stare at it for a while. Then maybe order safe-T caps.
