Greg, just tell me how many battery tenders you need and I'll arrange shipping in a plain brown cardboard box to your shop.

Can you throw in a few cans of the high-VOC Wurth solvent (which actually dissolves grease....), that is not legal for sale here?

Ok, Jeff has the tenders covered, I have a good source for the Wurth stuff....
Might as well bring the Denali and stop at the New Glarus Brewery on the way out of town. That's not for sale anywhere outside of Wisconsin.
I just have to tell the nice state patrol if pulled over those 100 cases are all for personal consumption.

Probably a felony to bring one into the state.....punishable by imprisonment.
Ran into another brilliant law, this winter. Windshield washer fluid that is rated to go below 32 degrees is illegal in California! Something about the alcohol being a pollutant on the roads....or some bull**** thing.
But the Napa store, in the frozen mountains where I was at, told me that the state had recently decided that they were doing to allow monitored sales of the fluid, where a record book had to be kept with the driver's license numbers and a secondary form of identification of anyone that bought the cold climate washer fluid. They had already decided not to carry it....they didn't want to have to do the paperwork (duh).
So my windshield washer tank, which up to this point, had only been slushy....turned into a frozen rock, with the resulting crack.
Brilliant! We must have an entire office of people that are extremely well paid, have full medical insurance, and will get 90% retirement income to monitor windshield washer fluid! And no one understands why the state is broke!
The end result? Most of you people can buy bullets and guns easier than I can buy windshield washer fluid.....makes total sense to me.
Sorry about the hijack! If the OP wants me to remove this, let me know and I will.

You have got to be ****ting me. Love it here in Texas, I can walk in to Walmart though the Auto Service door and grab a battery tender, windshield washer fluid, brake cleaner then walk two aisles over and grab an AR-15, 30 round magazines and a 1000 rounds of ammo. Then be out the door in 15 minutes.
I feel for you guys living in a local where the retards run things.

Was at Home Depot yesterday. Above the wood saw was a large sign saying "it is known by the state of California that wood dust can cause cancer" ..... So many warning labels in the state.... The printing business must make bank

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the older cat's less efficient and needed the oxygen to complete the burn where the "newer" ones are more efficient and pumping air into the system isn't necessary.

Substitute California for Democracy and you know what we've got going on, here.

They should also include California politicians in that label.

All you California guys are welcome in Arizona. We lived for about 8 years in Texas. Loved it. But, while Texas' level of nanny-ism is a dream compared to California, Texas' nanny-ism is one of the things I objected to when we moved there from Arizona. (Texas wouldn't permit its residents to obtain home equity loans, for example. It still won't permit trusts that last longer than 120 years. There are a lot of decisions the state believes residents are too dumb to make.)
So, come one and all to Arizona. We're freer than Texas, our property taxes are much lower, and San Diego's only a short drive away (shorter in a 928).

I should add that one of the things that drove me crazy about Arizona when we 1st moved here in 1987 was that our legislature seemed simply copy whatever California did the year before. That attitude has been replaced with "Anything California has done is something we won't be doing." It's not quite the same thing as thinking for ourselves, but you can't go far wrong by doing the opposite of whatever's done in Sacramento!

I'm going to have to convince my wife we would have to live with scorpions in Arizona.
At least you can tell when one of those arachnids wants to hurt you.

Oh please, do not encourage them. We've got ENOUGH zonies here as it is.
And it's a tossup on which is the worst driver; zonies or any car with a Baja plate. ![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Andy, good luck with the *****. I'd try another shop and have your documentation ready. Keep the pump functional though as that would still be considered tampering.

As for the scorpions, they're not nearly as common as my son would have liked. In our 2 plus decades in the Phoenix area, I've only seen three scorpions in our house (one I didn't see quite soon enough). Black widow spiders are much more common in your area than scorpions are here. Tell your wife that scorpions eat black widows for breakfast!

I think Arizonans out number Californians in San Diego in the month of August! As for driving, that is another downside to Arizona. The drivers here are worse than those in California. But, you don't need to worry about that. The influx of drivers I'm recruiting would be ex-Californians! They'll still know how to drive.
