Will windshield washer fluid be the canary in the coal mine? Check it out! Does your auto parts store have any?

If you live where it gets much below freezing in the winter, you should always keep a couple of gallons on hand. In the event the power goes out and you have no alternate heat source, or an insufficient one, the drain traps and toilet bowl, which always have water in them, could freeze and be severely damaged or destroyed as the water expands. Windshield washer fluid poured into the traps and toilet bowl will lower the freezing point of the water, saving your plumbing.

Of course, a I’m just one of those horrible, worthless AC’s that should be banned, so you probably should dismiss whatever I have to say on general principle.

Is "blinker fluid" the new "muffler bearings"?

Dude, blinker fluid will FUCK U UP!
I saw flying tortoises with rainbow tails!

First of all I'd like to expand on the other interesting thing about Winter WW fluid. It will burn if you happen to need a good emergency ignitable fluid.

Now back to the topic: Here in my neck of the woods we will be transitioning from summer grade (no alcohol) to winter grade (With alcohol.)

Suppliers are likely clearing their shelves(and back stock) of summer grade before they stock the shelves with winter grade!

Use vinegar and water

I'm looking at two 55 gal drums of it.

But I don't use the blue stuff. I'm a Rain-X snob.

Their anti-fog stuff is so nice in humid areas.

Oh yeah. I forgot I had a bottle of that! My truck has a bit of a water leak and fogs up the windshield bad! Thanks!

Hhmm. Interesting, OP. My product experience is Easy Off oven cleaner. I've been attempting to purchase it all year in Hou, and the only place I can catch even an off brand can is at a Dollar Store.

It's bizarre.

Nice!

Do you know where the leak is or is it just some sort of mystery leak?

Vinegar and baking soda... really!

Windshield washer fluid? I'll see what is available here and buy it all up. Winter would be a real bitch without it, but homemade might work as well as long as it doesn't freeze.

The driver's door needs new seals and the cab corner has a hole in it.

The truck took some base ball sized hail damage and I think the windshield wasn't fitted very well either.

Probably that crumbly super abrasive griddle cleaning block. We used them when I was a teenager at a steak house to clean the toast griddle. They are pretty amazing. Especially if you have the griddle hot and pour a little soda water on there first. Shiny clean in seconds. Almost forgot about those blocks.

Are they always this expensive on Amazon?

You could possibly have a heater core leak.

There is usually an accompanying sweet smell in the vehicle.

I cheap bottle of isopropyl alcohol, added to water with one of those window cleaning tablets would likely work well.

I have been reading these stories...It seems they are location specific...east coast...down south.....maybe it is working it's way west....

Midwest is good for the most part...for now

Have you tried lining the inside of the oven with aluminum foil? That shizz is toxic

I haven't noticed that here yet. Are you really in the Bahamas?

Ha! I'm not using it for the oven, which is self-clean.

I found a great cast iron dutch oven sitting in a garage and covered with about 60+ years of rust and old food gunk. Soaking in a vinegar bath didn't do the trick, so I want to try the oven cleaner method.

Any ideas on cleaning crusted, rusted cast iron?

Thank you.

I’ve been thrown out with the bath water more than a few times, but I have my reasons for not joining.
