cryowizard: (Evil Creature)
My computer chair started squeaking insufferably when I recline in it. I mean, the damn thing is over ten years old. I decided to remedy the situation.  An old mechanics' advice is: "If it is stuck and you want it to move -- use WD40; if it moves and you want it to stick -- use duct tape", so I sprayed the chair's base joints with WD40. Squeaking has stopped immediately, with a side-effect of a fine smell of petroleum-based product radiating from the chair. The smell of WD40 is very close to the one of Remington's BriteBore, the stuff I use to clean my gun. I like that smell, I have to admit.

Now I sit in my non-squeaking chair that smells of gun cleaning products, working on my Arizona pix, with J.J. Cale's "Don't Cry Sister" playing via Internet through my very very surround Pioneer SC-05.

Happy as a clam.
