Default Re: My wife is a keeper

When I overhauled my outboard motor I ran a lot of the parts through the dishwasher. My wife was 500 miles away at the time. The dishwasher detergent etched the aluminum parts to make the paint stick better. So be careful what you put in the machine or maybe what detergent you use.

A friend who's wife was not found on him buying more antique cars would stash additional purchases in storage units.
