My wife's program (she is director) genetically engineers mice.

I have a friend at NIH that uses those mice in experiments. I won't describe the end result. Suffice it to say, it does not go well for them.

This is what I did... don't care since lease. I keep a towel around my neck for this purpose when I detail the Z :tup:

I was planning to detail the exterior as well, but I think I'm just going to run it by the Acura dealership for a free wash and let them put some more swirls in it running through their brush car wash system ;)

I wonder if my wife's program grows the mice for them. They are a supplier to various NIH projects.

Gotta take that stuff seriously these days. Has this individual been referred to the authorities? Police? We have all heard many stories like this that don't end well.

We have had armed security outside and in for the past month since he first threats. I've made screenshots of his rants on FB and have passed it along to the police again after filing another report. The guy is as vocal as they come. I guess he threatened a local cop a few weeks ago and somehow managed to steal his credit card/license.

That reminds me. Recommendations on a dirt cheap electric leaf blower?? I want one to dry the Z when detailing. My gas engine one is overkill.

What do you mean by overkill? I picked up this little guy on sale for $38 or so (Black and Decker Leaf Blower at Lowe's). My only complaint is it is underwhelming on power. And it was one of the higher rated blowers in terms of CFM and air speed on the lower end of the budgets. Another minor complaint is decibel rating because I hold it pretty high near my head. But it's super light (weighs like 7 lbs) and still does the job much quicker than drying by hand.

If you want a real blower, the only serious equipment is the Master Blaster 8-hp dryer :twocents:

I have a 200mph stihl leafblower. Works phenomenal, but is insanely loud and heavy. Just need something light and maneuverable. That works for the one you linked. Thank you.

Heavy and unwieldy is definitely an issue. For the price, this little guy is pretty perfect. I really can't complain about air flow or speed or noise for that price. I have taken to wearing my ear plugs when I use it. Just because I find myself holding it next to my ear a lot of the time.
