If I could afford it I'd get some Tom's tails but sadly I cannot.

Move to Arizona? I hear there's not a whole lot of moisture or pine needles there.

Curious if anyone has suggestions what I should use as it will be visible so something clear would be best.

Give a read over the last couple of pages here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...t=6924&page=72
There are a few things that seemed to work.

I don't see why plain old clear silicone sealant wouldn't work.

Some people make a point of never admitting fault for anything. I have zero time for them. I find it sickening.

I don't understand. Do you have a hard time admitting fault?

Well folks, mrs humfrz's prayers were answered, we made it around and off of Mt Rainier without any close calls.

It was a beautiful day up on the mountain, clear sky and sunshine the whole day, with temps in the high 80's.

The traffic was light (except on the top) so, I got to take er through the many curves as fast as I was comfortable in doing (and not getting yelled at).

Our FR-S ran just great!

It was a fun day.

Yes. Specially on my workplace, sometimes people with less age and less experience pointing it out triggered. My boss told me to forget about and do my shit because thats why i got paid. Maybe she is soothing my temper?

While driving to work, 1 whole block (literally light to light) smell like cotton candy. I looked around to see if they're prepping for some kind of carnival or vape vest... but nothing. Now, I'm craving cotton candy.

Ah. I don't think you're broken because you ask the question of yourself. That's always a good sign.

Maybe the issue is not admitting fault. Maybe it's that younger, less experienced people also lack tact and respect in pointing out the error. That is equally important.

not being able to admit fault would eliminate 90% of my conversations with women...... uuuhhhmmmmm.... I might be onto something here.

I'll never forget being in fourth grade and trying to learn trumpet, which I sucked at. I was having a difficult time playing a song and blamed it on the instrument. The instructor said "really?" took the trumpet, swapped in his mouth piece, and played it perfectly fine. He then handed it back to me and said, "it isn't the trumpet."

It is kind of a **** move to pull on a 9 year old, but still made a point or two.

1) Accept responsibility for your actions rather than looking for something else to blame.
2) Learn tuba.

Yeah I hate this, especially cause it's always their fault. Also, I'm always right.

Was probably your mouth piece.
