I see the problem, your mouse guard is missing, we'll have to order that from the manufacturer, it'll be a couple weeks...at least... Which card you want to put that on?

You said you wanted the rotors "squeaky clean" so we used this new polishing method. What do you think????

Jim is a outdoorsy type guy, but also very resourceful.

A example of his resourcefulness is last fall Jim went camping, and his brake pad wore out, and this was his fix..

"Wheelmouse" is actually a Windows driver for a plug-in accessory for a laptop, though this photo suggests otherwise...
