Is she as good looking as your mom?

Maybe I can get my mom to seduce Mike? Like insider trading.

If going in that direction I would play the long game. The goal? Inheriting the Empire, of course!
P.S. how far can this thread be derailed?

Mike doesn’t work for Specialized any more. They let him go 2 years ago. They let him roam around the offices but he mostly stays in the mushroom building he built behind the wind tunnel. There’s no long game because they fire the CEO every year

@Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST your silca crockpot came up in my marketplace suggestions and I got a good laugh.

It’s heats up in a fraction of the time and holds a specific temp rather than the vague settings of a crockpot. So, for me, it was better. But hey, opinions vary.😇
Not having to cool down the wax to hit the exact temperature you need for it to stick to the chain is incredibly useful. The drying rack is very handy too.
It's just super well thought out. I think it's worth it.

It makes the process just about as brainless and foolproof as possible. My brain cell appreciates not having to put any real effort into doing it. Well worth it.

I think it's worthy, especially if heavily discounted. The temperature control is the deal breaker no doubt, I would just add that when heating up the wax only (no strip chip) I find a lot faster to set the temperature to 100-110, then lower it to 75 as soon as the wax melts or you will be waiting for a while...or is it just me? So far I've only waxed new chains or used chains that were previously otherwise lubricated, but I won't stress enough how much easier it to clean used dirty chains with a proper ultrasonic cleaner before waxing them.
thanks for the tip, making the jump

Agree on all counts. The one time I wasn't strip chipping it took quite long to melt the wax at 75. All my other uses were new chains w/ strip chip and that higher temp definitely gets the melt on way quicker.

This isn't helping me NOT spending money on the Silca crock.
