Been on the hunt for one of these white squirrels for a while now. Finally found one. Problem is, now I have lost a reason to go for long walks looking for the little rats with furry tails.

Have you never gone to see the white squirrels in Exeter?

The Hell with the squirrels, I am so happy to hear your "Voice" on line! 

Mrs NOHOME and I have walked many a mile up near Exeter and not seen the little buggers; to the point where we thought it was a joke on tourist. This time I saw one! Wonder if they taste better than the gray ones?

So, gotta ask, since you seem to be sticking around, what are the plans for the challenge car? I l know it is on the wrong side of the border, but if a cross border effort where you got it to my shop can be arranged, maybe we can finish what you started?

I had a company 1st Sgt in the Army who hated squirrels. Our company had a standing order that anyone who spotted a squirrel during a morning run had permission to break ranks and chase it. If he was able to land a kick to it on the grass, he got a two-day pass. If he caught up to it in the street, he got a three-day pass. I never saw anyone actually get close to kicking one. I think the guy just loved watching enlisted idiots chasing squirrels.

This will get you Saskatoon to Calgary, then another lap through on the return.

Here's the thing.  I never have issues EXPANDING snap rings.  That's the easy part.
- If the snap ring is installed over a dowel, bolt, etc, then a simple flat-bladed pry-driver is all that's needed to work it wider and slip it off.
- If the snap ring needs to be expanded to be installed on a dowel, then it's just a matter of angling it correctly and pushing.

Now, compressing a snap ring.  That's the tough bit.

The Corolla will likely be put up for sale next spring depending on how my health is at the time. I doubt I'll ever be 100% again.
