As a kid, I lived in Columbus, and would ride my bike to the Ohio Stadium with my friends, and run up and down the steps, just for fun. The Ohio State University  vs  University of Michigan  rivalry brings out the best in each. 

Go Bucks,        Go Blue!

After graduating from General Motors Institute in Flint, a Masters Degree from the University of Michigan Graduate School was my next plan, but Uncle Sam's Army had other plans, I was drafted to train NATO troops and our own troops, in the maintenance and repair of our Nike Guided Missile, Acquisition and Control radars.  

Fortunately, just our deployment of these surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles in Europe facing Russia and on Quemoy and Matsu between China and Taiwan was enough, and no missiles had to be fired at them.

As a licensed Ham Radio Operator, I talk to Hams all over the world via short wave.  On a recent "Round Table" of Hams, one Ham commented:  "Everyone walks around under a rain cloud,  head down, doom and gloom and complaining, while  John walks around with a sunbeam shining over his shoulder."  

Thank you, OM (that's Ham talk).   I am blessed in so many ways.

44) Every mechanic worth his salt probably has a few more uses for WD-40.  Best you remember to "Don't leave home without it."

I had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do; probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD - 40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I'm impressed!
 

Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD - 40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD - 40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD - 40 that would hurt you.
 

When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stove top... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
