Honestly, it's not that crazy. Aluminum works fine for feeders if you do it right. You just have to torque the connections properly and use the right grease. People get stuck on copper like it's the only way, but the code allows aluminum for a reason. Saved a ton of money on that long of a run, right? Bet it's working just fine.

Fear sells. Sleep doesn't stop breaches.

Honestly, I've found a lot of pride and good meals in making the cheap stuff work.

Oh man, that's rough! I'm totally with the driver on saving the squirrel, but you gotta commit to the swerve. A gentle swerve, not a pothole launch. Last year my driver did the same for a duck, but he just eased over a bit and tapped the horn. We barely felt it. It's all about the follow-through.

My aunt's famous meatloaf was just the recipe on the back of the oatmeal box, lmao.
