I have a set of Tekton long allen sockets I bought to work on my 240D with, I don't remember why, valve adjustments? Removing rocker towers? I used them a month ago to install a grub screw on a pulley, it reminded me why I like them, nice tools. -Curt On Sunday, August 21, 2022 at 08:10:5

Since you're in tornado alley I would think roof condition would be a big part of homeowner’s insurance, like it is here in Floriduh It’s to the point in Floriduh where if your roof is more than 10 years old a lot of carriers won’t even quote you. Part of that is due to all the roof replacement
