  I missed that. But IMHO the lubriplate grease supplied in those little
plastic cans with the M1 Carbine and M1 Garand and M14s is one of the all
around best lubricants that there is.

   BTW just in case anyone hasn't been watching the news, a new BIGGER
hurricane (Frances) is now headed this way. It's headed directly for me and
the forecast shows only a slim chance of it changing course so HERE WE GO
AGAIN! I spent all morning boarding up and trying to get everything under
cover but still have two damaged sheds that I haven't even looked at since
the last hurricane and the roadsides are still covered in debris waiting to
be picked up. I replaced most of the fencing but I don't know if it will
withstand Frances or not. It's due to hit here early Sunday AM so I'm
going to be busy getting prepared.
