You can spray a little soap and water mix on the belt away from any pulleys when its running.
If it's the belt squeaking it will go away for a couple minutes until it dries.
If the squeaking does not stop, shoot a shot of penetrating oil at the center of each suspected pulley.
The squeak should stop, or change in pitch when you hit the right spot.

One spritz of soapy water and dead silence for 30s or so. New belt to come. Thanks again!

She goes past Matt right at the start. I take it that there was a helluva line waiting to see him. I'd wait it out though, for sure. The tow truck olympics are this coming weekend, I think.... maybe next. From what Matt was saying in his episode yesterday, some people are struggling to get lodging.

EDIT: Watching Rachel's video, it makes me wish I'd done something with my Brother's best friend. He's in my video, but we had a long convo off camera regarding his business, then Fox Body's. He builds custom bikes for his business. The four bikes in my video he did... I think those were the only bikes I even looked at, LOL.

EDIT 2:

Placing this here for Brewster (and anyone else interested) Sophie Lloyd's new single. This is a double whammy for me because Matthew Heafy is the singer for Trivum - a band I like a lot.
