My oil drain cans are all one and one eighth imperial gallons. I always convince myself that I can introduce the second drain can into the oil flow with no spillage. Hopeless.

She gets confused by all the tiny piles of cat litter on the shop floor. Keep your head up and your stick on the ice. 72 T120V cafe project "Mr. Jim" 72 T150V "Wotan"
