    Felix is the reason I found this site. I was researching homemade lube when the cast pics site came up. After tons of "I thinks" and " I threw this ins" etc here was a formula that was well thought out and was being researched bty a group effort! I was impressed with this lube and after reading everything that I could find that Felix wrote, asking and recieving his advice and some experimenting on my own I settled on FWFL but using ATF in place of the mineral oil per Felix's suggestion.
    I was impressed with his humility and generosity. Yep sometimes his writing was way over my head. He was good at explaining very heady stuff to men (and women) with limited education! He was ALWAYS a gentleman!
    RIP Felix, the friend I never met!

    Thank you, Nick, for that post. I have and had great respect for your Dad from the days of the Shooters board. I never had a conversation with him and never even PM'ed him, much to my regret.

    Very nice Nick, he will be remembered and there is a place for him in Heaven..

    We don't have any idea what heaven is like because out minds couldn't comprehend the wonders of it.
