Thanks Wes! I once saw that word used in a history book published in the 40s. And Hugh, I re-read Rjenning’s first post up there, and his exact expression is “thought to oil it for me.” (I don’t see the word “favor” up there anywhere.) But you’re probably right that he didn’t want him to oil or otherwise clean it on his own initiative. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
