What a generous offer. :) I may just have to do...

Well, in most cases, I'd prefer to get the machine uncleaned anyway. That way I know they didn't put something really nasty on it to clean it, and didn't oil it with 3 in 1 or something.

The reason I use a 90, is that I know what it will do. An 80 will deflect faster, because the metal is thinner, easier to bend. Same thing with the 100, it will deflect later.

I feel like you...

Ha! My cats would put the run on him. Our dog ( a shepherd husky cross) is scared of them, and will whine and cry if there's a cat between her and me. She'll walk around the whole house to avoid...
