Betty_perry24 is so right, my old keyboard still has beach sand in it from that same mistake!

Actually happened to my crew two years back, not last year. Same soft clay story though.

Read a story about those locks failing during a power outage.

55 minutes after each day... that's a lot. Are they really getting that dirty from one use? I just brush mine out and wipe them down, only do a full clean once a week.

Dayton junkyards are brutal on bolts with all that salt air. @abby_martinez has the right idea with the hammer trick, it shocks the rust. I always check if the bolt is actually reverse thread before I go full gorilla on it, seen a few like that. A little heat from a cheap torch can work wonders too if you're careful. That crack when it finally moves is better than most paychecks.
