That's a lot of effort for a hotel room lol.

No way, that's brilliant! I had the same problem with a Clyde last month, clinches like iron. I was ready to give up. I ended up using a tiny bit of WD-40 on a rag and just dabbed it on, let it soak in. Same deal, they came off so much easier. Sometimes the old ways just need a little extra slip.

Yeah, that book is a real test for any book club. I heard a podcast where they said the real argument isn't about hope or no hope, it's about what you bring to it as a reader. Some people see the ending as a total loss, others find a tiny bit of light in it. It forces you to show your cards on how you see the world. My group almost broke up over it too.

Well @daniel_lane30, my old boss would have a heart attack just reading that.

Your garage must look like a tool graveyard with all those special fixes lol.
