not that I know.

splurged on a new hoodie that will be set aside for times I need a clean hoodie.

need more details on that!

as a general rule of thumb, I try not to reuse crusty, rusty items that are key to saving my life.

ran out of things to check, so I ordered a piercer valve and gauge to attempt a refill.
