I have two dealers in relatively close proximity to me, however, I have only
dealt with one of them.
I don't think their pricing strategy is a whole lot different from any other
dealer in the sense that they are going to exploit the consumer as long as they
can get away with it. It's the

I'd probably just pack some duct mastic in there, but that's because I have 7/8

Otherwise, I'd buy some epoxy gas tank putty, give the can a once-over with
Scotchbrite or steel wool, and seal the inside of the can with that.

Sometime last week I was reading an opinion piece that higher education serves
two purposes. One to impart technical knowledge, the other, for the student to
gather practical knowledge.
I am not sure how well college actually does that, but for the sake of the

There are lots of confounding factors here. First, the economy is slow (we
don't need to establish why) so there are fewer jobs, Second, like the
