A big 'Thank You' to LubeMaster77!!!

Wow! in the beginning of August, I PM'd Mike and asked if he knew of a grease or oil I could use on my rollerblade bearings, to get every last bit of speed and reduce friction. Mike gets back to me and asks for my address. I was not expecting much, maybe a small envelope with a small tube/bottle of grease/oil. Today I come home and there is a rather big box sitting at my front door. Inside, well, I am in shock! What a surprise, I don't know where to begin, other than I am actually looking forward to tearing apart 16 bearings and cleaning them.

Mike, I owe you big time. This is wayyyy more than I expected. Thank you so much! It's also perfect timing, as I am dropping the engine tomorrow and will be able to use some of the gifts you sent on my car as well.

Thank you Mike! People I have known for years would not do something like this. Let me know when you are in the L.A. area and I'll try and make it up to you.

Dave

Agree wholeheartedly! Mike has even gone out of his way trying to ship ME stuff! All the way across the pond!

Good for you, Dave! Let me know if you need any tech advice!

I donīt even have to explain the self irony in that last sentence to you lot!

Dave must have - in his own words - 'dozed off'. At about sunrise.

I've got it!!! Imagine a sleazy sign that you would see atop a strip joint - it reads "The Lubemaster" in big letters and underneath in smaller letters "female oil wrestling". Tuesday is amateur ladies night.

I think we should open the first one in Texas, then I'll manage the one in L.A. - Sunset Strip, then we get Tabs to run the one in Vegas! That one could include a buffet.

Brilliant!

BTW Mike, I had to visit your website , in order to figure out what everything was. What oil is in those little pin point squeeze pens?

Dave

Dave - the oil in the oilers is a real lightweight mineral oil. It is great for fish reals and triggers. You can try our website but it sucks. I wanted to include a note in the box but I was in a real rush and I had my bride ship it out. She was curious what was in the box with a hand written address to someone she didn;t know, ultra taped up, made strange noises when shook and happen to have a small label in the corner that had COLUMBIAN written across it.

Feel free to give me a shout and ask what all the stuff will do.

The ISO 320 leaked a tiny bit. Good thing I didn't find the FBI and Hazmat at my door . A corner of the box was a moist, but nothing was dripping out of it.

Holloway,

I'm putting the buttons and a bow tie on a chebby 350, and I need a recomendation on lubricants to help the thing make it around the block at least once. It's a fresh motor. Do you have any magic stuff?
