Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. Hey, pull up a chair, have some eggnog. If you don’t like eggnog, the coffee pot’s over there, and the booze is by the microwave, have some. You know, I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but it seems like every damn year, someone creates an existential…
Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt. Let’s talk about maintenance.
