    I fucking despise USPS!  I ordered something next day from them only to find out that "next day" doesn't actually mean "next day".  I argued with 3 different people about this on the phone only to find out it was sitting in New Berlin while I lived in Greenfield BUT I was not allowed to drive to New Berlin to pick up my package from them.  I avoid them at all costs now.

                      Started tearing stuff apart last night - and had to toss these on to see what they'll look like.  Sssooooo much stuff to clean and replace in the bay. 😬

                              Might be time to step up your game to Super Clean and shop towels.

                                Simple green, scrub with a small brush, rinse with water, done. Much easier.

                                      Don't really have a reason to?!?  At this point it's clean, replace, Powdercoat/plate, reassemble - and get it running!!!
