Very much so. Extremely apt and accurate observation. I hate rust more than lima beans. (I really, really hate lima beans)

17-4 is about twice as strong and as corrosion resistant as 18-8 stainless steel

Yup. Almost all the fasteners I've touched (a lot) have been replaced with 17-4 PH. The balance were little non-structural buggers that I couldn't find in anything better than 18-8 or 316. The only exceptions so far are the axles and internal stuff.

So... I shouldn't refer to your beard as... rust colored...

Existential crisis inbound! I've always hated myself a little...catholic upbringing....but now I'm in a real pickle. I think there's only one solution...

Maybe bring back your old mohawk? Just pointing in the other direction...

It would have to be a flop. I don't have the energy to maintain a real 'hawk anymore. Might also be a problem with re-entering the job market soon... Actually been thinking about trimming the beard back to 1" for just that reason. Haven't decided.

I remember you upgraded the hardware on your Sputhe to ARP, do you happen to still have photos of that? The images are not loading in your thread. Thanks!
