Yep, used properly they won't cause problems. Thing is, few people actually know how to clean and oil one properly.

I'm not pointing fingers trying to tell you that you're wrong. That's just fine if you want to use them. I'm just wanting to show you why I don't, and why I believe my original statement that they can and do cause MAF issues.

Pretty good and relaxing. Just sitting here listening to some tunes and the rainstorm.

How about you?

Knockin the snow off my boots, unhooked the snowblower from the tractor last week and it's staying unhooked this time. Besides, it'll be 65* in a few.

The ground haag was totally full of champion shiii this year.

I wound up tearing apart an amp just to have a look-see and found a bunch o' leaking caps in it. With Jbrews help identifying an issue or two, it'll be good as new when I get those replaced.

I also went ahead and made up my mind on my back... I decided I will do surgery. I can't take this shiznit any longer.

The snow is long gone here in the valley, but the mountains have a crap ton still.
