Jacket was by Millet. Great hiking/climbing gear if you can get it at discount.

If you wear a Millet, someone should be doing your Autozone shopping for you.

It's just an adventure brand similar to Marmot or Columbia but a bit nicer.

I like it because nobody else wears it.

Nicer than Marmot? Ehhhhhhh

Nothing is nicer than Arcteryx though.
They're pretty much the Henri Lloyd of outdoor gear.

I'd put it on par with Arcteryx and below Canada Goose.

Lapping compound is used in doing valve jobs to seat valves.
You you put a dab on the valve and with a plunger tool you stick the plunger to the valve and spin the tool with the palms of you hands.

Also for lapping prop shafts to properly mate a prop. (Yes, apparently its that hard to make a perfect morse taper)
