Speaking of oil dry, I was in Wally world the other day looking at degreasers and noticed some bags on the shelf. They were $4.99 for a 25lb bag. 

Not sure if that’s up/down/sideways as it’s been a while since I’ve bought any. I almost picked up a bag for dad’s shop since I’ve been making a pretty good mess in there lately.  :-)
