The whiteline tie rods and bumpsteer parts are still good. The black works LCA are still good too. The coils almost look new still; I used covers the whole time.

I swapped to 1" Swift springs.

You’re alive!!!

I deleted my post too late; I was in the process of amending it.

I also back up up Thunderbird once a month for the same reason. I have emails going back years that I don't want to lose.
There's nothing quite like having Thunderbird and Firefox being exactly the same after starting on a reformatted or new PC.

Yeah. I've been rolling the dice for years with my only backups tied to OS upgrades.


No need to delete. I welcome a good dope slap from my esteemed friends here.

Our inventory control software saves all the daily transactions as XML.

EPA is also a fan of its transaction reports being in XML.

I sprayed my calipers over a year ago now. The "hammered gold" spray paint is holding up well. I am surprised. I've burnt off flat black spray paint before.

Is this just regular spray paint, or high-temp stuff?

I finally set a cron job to rsync my stuff nightly. Took me all of five minutes.

It's regular Rust-Oleum hammered gold. I've used other "regular" stuff before that burnt off. Anyway, I thought it was worth sharing.

That's great but where does it get saved?

Just another drive whenever I feel like plugging it in. I don't do "cloud."

Neither do I. I feel dirty enough using Gmail as my secondary mail program when I don't want to use Thunderbird.
