Just a quick note of caution...
Do not, I repeat, do not use your teeth to strip a wire 2 days before a 3 month road trip.
Unless of course you really enjoy having a chipped tooth right in front and can make that look work for you.
That is all for today we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Fangs rule.  |

My mouth was numb for a while, maybe fried some brain cells, but at least I chip my tooth.
