Which bank will collapse first?

Finally found the squeak. Wasnt the slave cylinder, wasn’t the fork, not fluid fault. After greasing everything, it came down to the cylinder close to firewall above the gas pedal. Spray some lubricant, ta-da.

Right here. Greased the fork, greased the slave cylinder, replaced the clutch fluid. But ended up being this.

Anyone who has bought or sold property will have a horror story or three. I know I have dozens but none like this one.
Yesterday I attended a Celebration of Life service for a long-time family friend. It was held on his farm. His son talked about the farm and all that they had done to it over the decades. He said it is now unrecognizable from the run down ruin it had been when they first moved in.
He was only nine and couldn’t believe his parents had bought this place let alone expected to live in it. The outside was bad but he wasn’t prepared for what he found inside. There, in the middle of the living room was a huge petrified mound of manure. There were unholy smells coming from every room and each was different then the last.
He went on and on about the condition. Then, he stopped and explained the back story. It seems the old lady who had lived there got to a point that she couldn’t get to and from the barn to tend to the animals. So, she brought them in with her. The pigs, geese and chickens lived in what was euphemistically called the basement. The horse and cow were in the living room. The dogs and cats had free run.
Now, decades later with lots of love and attention by a master wood craftsman and his maturing son the old farm house is better than it was when it was built over 100 years ago. New wiring, new plumbing every room taken back to the studs and restored. The basement all redone and the old attached shed now is a proper building with a deep foundation.
But, no matter how many times they sanded or dark the stain they used they could never get that manure stain out of the center of the hard wood floor in the living room.

Maybe it involved barnyard animals -

My friend traded in his frs for a gr86. So today we were comparing the engines. Noticed this on mine:

Back to stock tube once I get it out of storage. But I don't know why this happened after almost five years of being installed.

Either they or a drug that involves lots of puking. I couldn’t tell what it was but it was nasty.

Just a bit of self clearancing.

I should definitely swap back the stock tube or a replacement right? Someone reminded me there's wire mesh/framework inside so it might not be fully through but not sure I want to take the chance. I'll probably take it off at least to look it over tomorrow.

I’d take a look at least. I remember my perrin intake had a little run mark from the belt. I have wasn’t concerned.
