For God’s sake, thank you.

My local methadone clinic was almost out of stock. Good thing we’re back up now.

I actually did that yesterday. Well, in all honesty I handed Telford the tools while he changed out my steering column. Very happy with the results

How long was it down? I was hammering out my last day of the week in a grimy 110 year old factory in East Philly. I didn't know it was down until I sat down in the airport.

Understood.
Back in '96 or thereabouts I needed to understand the 1800cc I bought,
seeing the disassembled bits helped me not ruin stuff.
I would've trashed/melted plenty without T.Wilson's teardown & warning.
Those were strange Sambaless Times.

Trouble seems to follow that boy.

Just kidding, I really like Brobbie, I mean Brian.
