It's 60% water. The rest is preservative

Homemade flammable, not sure if there's that much water. If so then I'll just be very very hydrated [emoji1787]

Will it's very hot there,. Prob better to have more preservative than water by volume. My favorites are usually about 62% preservative.

Friday, hand washed the X5. Noticed the front left wheel well had debris. Like icky and sticky strings. WTH....a critter was run over. I better check the engine bay. The neighbor hood does have stray cats. I had to use a brush and high pressure to get the icky stuff off. Now, the front suspension on that side has a knock. Especially over bumps or bad roads. I'll have to look under it on Wed. All the suspension is new. I hope the thrust arm doesn't need replacing. Last time, it need to be tightened up. If it's loose again, I'll get new bolts.

Don't use "preservative water" and Drive!
 

It's been over 40 years since I imbibed water with "preservatives", so I just rely on iced sweet peach tea, all day, every day (imagine Uncle Si on Duck Commanders show). Keeps me cool in hot weather (most of the year here), but I still swill it down iced, in colder weather.

I drank in prodigious quantities in my early years, so no more preservative water for me!

I usually only drink cask strength, bourbon, and now that I'm a bus driver. I only get to do that on weekends. The rate of consumption has dropped precipitously. When good bourbon cost in $90 a bottle. It does help the bank balance though.

I hope you didn't squash the kitty
 

I'm an animal lover (people, not so much), so it isn't a good thing in my book to squash any critter. My semi-rural home has become a haven for stray cats (possums, raccoons, and neighborhood free-range chickens, too) over the past 7-8 years, after I started to feed a couple of stray cats that were living under my tandem axle race car trailer (and under a shed, in cold or wet weather).

As the cat colony grew, by more appearing and kittens being born, I bought traps to catch them, and have them spayed & neutered, so the colony has stabilized down to 8 stay-in-the-yard fulltimers, and 3-4 guest cats that appear at morning and evening feeding times

The funny thing about the guest cats, is that they have been spayed or neutered, too (you can tell because they all have a left ear point trimmed off by the vet). They must be cats belonging to nearby folks, and only come for the food. There haven't been any newborns in two years, so the neutering program works.

We've brought four sick ones inside (sharing the house with our three dogs and a parrot), that have remained inside as housecats for the past 3 years. The outside, semi-feral cats have various shelter spots around the property, for bad weather, and sometimes go into the massive Poultry Palace that my wife built for her four hens (they're now statring to fade away, so the Palace will be used as a Cat Corral, in the future).

The benefit of heeping the semi-feral cats (and possibly the 10-12 free-range chickens), is that the snake population has been eliminated or so reduced, that I haven't seen any trace of one for seven years. I used to have to take a flashlight, frog gig, machete, or pistol with snake shot outside with me at night, to remove venomous snakes from the yard, before letting the dogs out. I formerly had to dispatch at least 4-5 snakes (Cottonmouths and/or Copperheads) every year, for 25 years, before it was safe for the dogs. I also didn't much like stepping on one if I had to go into an unswept area.

Since when could you teleport between Winnipeg and KSR now?

(Winnipeg in winter is where I learned and experienced that –40C and –40F are pretty much the same thing)

Apparently I always had the ability, but I just didn't drink enough shine...[emoji1787]

Good news. It was not my local neighbor's cat. I heard its bell ringing in the neighbor's yard. I took off the front left wheel to chase down the "clunking" noise. The noise sounded like a socket rolling on the metal subframe plate. I know it's not possible since foam is there. Finally chased it to the sway bar link. I should have know. About two years ago, I tightened up the right side one shortly after a front suspension rebuild. One good hit with my cordless impact tightened it up. The X5 is nice and quiet up front.

I'll have to take the front wheel off again to clean up the icky string left over. From debris, it was a small critter. :dunno:
