No wonder my eyes burn and I am gasping for my breath. When I don't have carb cleaner to clean out the air intake systems on high mileage fuel injection vehicles I grab a can of brake cleaner. :shock:
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Some of the service guys were talking about it at work too. It's what you don't know that can kill you.

Going to let this go, it is in the FAQ area under Safety http://www.shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=126919 Good idea to look over the sticky thread now and then.

Be careful in all that you do guy! Never let your guard down.
