STRAP ON spelled backwards is NO PARTS

You're welcome.

You are both right and wrong at the same time. 180⁰ polarized lenses are the same as 0⁰ polarized lenses. 90⁰ or 270⁰ is where it blacks out when looking at an LCD screen. All these things are standardized. It's not just willy nilly.

The engineers behind polarization have already optimised the angles to favor blocking sun glare, be useful while watching television, and also even so much as looking at the time on your wristwatch.

I happen to have polarized sunglasses, and they're a bit different than regular sunglasses.

Polarized sunglasses offer even better benefits than regular sunglasses. The polarized factor helps eliminate the glare off the distant road or the glare off the water while fishing.

No I am not trying to be a shill, just saying that polarized sunglasses (whether name brand or not), just work...

I tried to replace the rotor before, but those 2 tiny bolts are rusted and seem to be stuck in place so tight that I was scared that I might shear the heads off those bolts, so I just left the original rotor alone. I did bend the center conductor leaf spring part up a little bit while I was in there though.

The plugs had already been replaced by the previous but now deceased owner sometime within the last couple years, and he didn't drive it very often, so I just figured I'd play the plugs by ear after everything else, and I'm glad I did, because 2 of those plugs are buried right behind the steering column axle and practically impossible to access.

Thankfully it runs fantastic now!

Wild meat tends to be a lot tougher to chew and tastes gamey...

My late father told me the toughness can largely be tenderized by boiling it for like an hour, then beating it with a meat tenderizer, before the actual final cooking on the grill/stove/oven/fryer.

I was once given a piece of fully cooked, but not boiled in advance, wild boar meat, about the size of a McDonald's chicken nugget. It was so damn tough that it literally took me over an hour to chew and swallow.
