[TheForge] Spring cleaning

Tue Mar 9 23:31:00 2004

I change my compressor oil once a year. I use high priced synthetic
motor oil in them. Also drain the water every day. (Gulf Coast you know)
Keep a bulb in the hot box for abrasives and welding rods, vacuum the
whole shop once a week, water the flowers and that about does it.
