Rust Lubricant Market Size and Forecast

Introduction to Rust Rust is a natural process where iron and iron alloys corrode or oxidize in the presence of oxygen and moisture. It typically forms as a result of exposure to water or humid air. The oxidation occurs when iron absorbs oxygen atoms from the surroundings. This causes the iron's outer layer to flake off while another layer absorbs more oxygen and flakes off. The flakes are what we see as rust. Over time, with continued corrosion, the thickness of the metal is reduced. Ultimately, the structural integrity of the material can fail if rusting is not controlled. How Rust Lubricants Work Rust lubricants work by forming a protective layer on the metal surface that prevents oxygen and moisture from contacting the bare metal. The lubricating film insolates the surface from corrosion-causing elements. The three main mechanisms by which lubricants provide protection are: Displacement Highly effective lubricants work on the principle of displacement. They contain non-polar hydrocarbon components that displace water from the metal surface. Water molecules are what facilitate corrosion by allowing oxygen to react with the metal. Displacing water with non-polar lubricating molecules physically blocks the corrosion reaction. Barrier Formation Upon application, many rust lubricants leave behind a microscopic barrier film. This barrier film lies over the metal like a coating. It blocks the diffusion pathways of oxygen and moisture, isolating the base metal. Even minor nicks or scratches in the metal remain protected underneath the continuous barrier film. Cathodic Protection Some advanced lubricants contain metallic nanoparticles like zinc or magnesium. These metals are more electrochemically active (anodic) than iron. So when the lubricant contacts steel or iron, a galvanic reaction occurs where the more active metal sacrifices itself to protect the steel substrate. This provides cathodic protection to the base metal. Types of Rust Lubricants There are different types of rust lubricants available depending on the material they are designed to protect and the environmental conditions. Here are some of the most common types: Water-Displacing Oil: As discussed earlier, water-displacing oils work by displacement of water molecules from the metal surface using their non-polar hydrocarbon structure. They are effective for protecting indoor steel and iron equipment not directly exposed to moisture. Synthetic Rust Preventives: Synthetic rust preventives usually leave behind thin microlayer barriers for protection. They contain additives like inorganic salts or non-ferrous metallic compounds to reinforce the barrier. These types are multi-purpose and can be used on a variety of metals for corrosion resistance. Greases: Grease-based lubricants contain thickening agents that give them a soft, pliable consistency. Greases maintain excellent adhesion and form durable barriers even under vibrations. They are better suited for protecting machine parts subject to sliding friction and moving contact stresses. Cold-Weather Lubricants: Specialty low-temperature fluids exists for protecting metals at sub-zero conditions where regular oils may congeal. They have advanced additive packages that enable low-temperature fluidity and corrosion resistance down to -50°C.
Benefits of Using Rust Lubricants These lubricants provide numerous technical and economic advantages over leaving metal surfaces unprotected: - Prevents costly premature failure of equipment due to corrosion - Extends usable lifetime and improves return on capital assets - Avoids production downtime and associated losses from equipment rust-outs - Lowers long-term maintenance costs by protecting surfaces for years - Provides insurance against environmental damage from moisture exposure - Improves appearance and aesthetic value of metal products and structures - Simplifies protection of complex geometries with spray or dip application - Minimizes surface preparation needs vs other protective coatings - Safe, non-toxic formulations protect workers and environment - Compatible

You were scrolling through Twitter and came across a video of a man tied to a chair, naked. A pair of hands that were neatly manicured was jerking him off rapidly, forcing orgasm after orgasm out of his cock. It wasn't anything you hadn't seen on twitter before, but twenty seconds later you would see something new. The woman was jerking him after his orgasm, the man whining and crying, his body trying to jerk away from her touch as he was pushed into overstimulation.
He started pleading with her to slow down, saying something felt weird, and that's when it happened, he squirted. It looked so intense, his body trembling and hunching over as he screamed through another forced orgasm. You squeezed your thighs together feeling yourself grow aroused between your legs, a vivid image popping into your head of trying this with Satoru. You replayed the video over a couple times, pretending the faceless pale man in the chair was your boyfriend, even though they shared no resemblance to one another.
You were sure Satoru would be up to trying something like this, the two of you had a very adventurous sex life and were always sharing new ideas with the other on fun things you could do in the bedroom, and this looked very fun. You quickly copied the link and switched to messages, sending it to your boyfriend who was currently at work. You hoped he wouldn't see your message until he had a break, but you had sent him worse things during worse moments, so it would be fine.
Moments after you had sent the video to Satoru, your phone lit up with his name big and bold on the screen, vibrating in your hand. "Satoru? Why are you calling me at work?" You asked, pressing your phone to your ear. "Tell me you want to do that to me, thats why you sent me that right?" He asked rushed, excitement laced in his tone. From the backround noise from Gojo's end of the call of birds chirping and leaves rusting through the trees with no voices besides his to be heard, you guessed he was supervising sparing and had stepped away.
"I dont think I need to ask if you want to try it then~" You laughed into the receiver. Gojo was currently leaning his head back against a building of Jujutsu high, his eyes scrunched shut as he imagined your hands on him, overstimulating him like the woman had done in the video. "Are you kidding? I'm all over that~" He cracked his eyes open, a smile gracing his features. "My pretty girlfriend making me squirt? didn't even know that was possible, I've been missing out." He sighed.
"Wanna give it a go tonight then? Wouldn't want you to miss out any longer." You said teasingly, biting your lip as you pressed your thighs together once more. "Why wait that long? I get off in an hour, I'll see you and your pretty hands then~" Gojo said singsong like into the phone. The two of you said your goodbyes before you ended the call, your fingers taking you back to the video so you could watch it over and over again, picking up some techniques the woman used that you could use on Satoru."
--
"She used a lot of lube so.. this is gonna get messy." You said, popping open the lid to the lube bottle you kept on your side table. Gojo was laid down on the bed, a towel under his ass as you sat on his thighs, one hand stroking his cute leaking cock, while your other squeezed the plastic bottle, watching the slippery substance drip down onto his cock in thick strands.
Gojo hissed when the cold lubricant came into contact with his dick, keeping his eyes on your slender hands wrapping around him. "If you make me squirt it's gonna get a hell of a lot messier too~" Gojo chimed in, biting his lip when you used one of your hands to wrap around his tip, rolling it around in circular motions in your palm, the other slowly jerking the rest of his massive length. "You will," you assured him, your eyes sliding up to make contact with his.
"Gotta say the safeword If it gets too much, kay Toru?" You asked, making sure he acknowledged your words before things got too intense. "Yeah yeah, F-fuuuck, I won't though~ I can take it." He said confidently, flashing you a cocky smile as you slowly and steadily jerked him off.
"Fuck.." Gojo murmured under his breath, his eyes dropping as he watched you work slowly on his dick, the copious amount of lube you used creating a loud and vulgar slick noise every time your hands moved on him. "It's so wet," Gojo groaned. You could feel his thighs flexing under your ass as he started getting into it. "Yeah? Does it feel good?" You asked, picking up the speed of both your hands a bit. "Yeah.. fuck- feels like I'm inside you." Gojo groaned, his jaw falling open and his breath picking up as he watched you jerk him off, both of your hands now screwing down the length of his cock together, making sure to squeeze at the tip.
"I feel this wet?" You almost laughed, taking note of how the lube coated his balls and was steadily dripping down the insides of his thighs. "You're wetter." He smirked back, his smile quickly fading when you paused one of your hands, opting to rub right under the head of his cock while the other kept jerking him off. You bit your lip, noticing how his eyes were rolling back in his head. "Feel good right here, Toru?" You asked, pressing your thumb into his frenulum with more force, a shaky whimper leaving his lips.
"So fucking good," Satoru praised, pulling his hip between his teeth. You slid the pad of your thumb from his frenulum to the slit on his tip in a smooth rhythm, up and down, up and down, making Satoru groan through clenched teeth. "Oh fuck- keep fucking doing that- sh-it." Gojo was humping his hips into your fist, chasing the stimulation, making your body bounce slightly on top of his thighs. "Satoru quit moving, let me do all the work." You spoke softly, giving his shaft harsh strokes that made him whine.
"Okay- okay, baby- just please don't stop, please." He replied with an aroused smile plastered on his face. You giggled at his desperation, continuing your ministrations on his cock so he didn't grow any needier. "I won't Toru, I got you~" you assured. His head flopped back onto the pillows with a groan when you started stroking him with both hands once again, rotating your hands up and down the length of his cock, making the coil in his tummy rapidly tighten itself up.
"Fuck- fuck me baby fuck-" Satoru whined through his teeth, the words strung together as he tipped his head down, nodding as you jerked his cock quick and rough, making his body wiggle around on the sheets. "You like that? Like when I jerk you off like this?" You cooed, biting your lip as you darted your eyes back and forth between his flushed cock and his pretty face scrunched up in pleasure.
Your words went straight to his cock, if you weren't gripping him so hard you might've been able to feel how hard he twitched in your hands. "God I fucking love it, baby, makin' me feel so g-good." Gojo groaned through his teeth. He really wanted to keep watching you but he physically could not keep his head up anymore. He let his head fall back into the pillows once more, screwing his eyes shut as he let you work him up to his high. "Shit.. I feel it coming pretty girl.." Your boyfriend let you know, his breathing picking up when he felt his balls start to tighten, the warmth in his belly growing warmer and warmer, all telltale signs of his orgasm approaching.
"You got this baby, gonna fuck you through it and you're gonna take what I give you like a good boy, isn't that right?" You spoke sweetly, a teasing tilt to your voice as you hyped him up. He nodded his head against the pillows, keeping his eyes shut, face still screwed in pleasure, his jaw clenching and unclenching as he tried to brace himself for what was to come. "Gonna take it, 'm your good boy, baby~" Satoru responded, trying to smile through his arousal.
You felt his warm cock pulse strongly against your fingers at the same time his breathing stilled, right before the first rope of his cum shot out of his dick and splattered onto his abdomen. Gojo groaned loudly through his teeth, his body jerking inwards at every wave of his orgasm. "Yeah~ Good boy, just like that, keep cumming for me Toru~" You praised, jerking your hands rapidly over his dick, coating your fingers and his cock in his cum, mixing with the lube already smothered on his cock.
"Shit- s-shit- nnghhh-" Gojo groaned through his orgasm, his hips jerking up into your hand as he came. You continued to stroke him through the aftershocks of his high, which was bearable for the first four seconds before he started fighting the pleasure you were giving him. Whines and gasps were being pulled from his lips when you didn't slow down your hands on his cock, keeping up the mean rough pace on his length, simultaneously twisting your palm over his too-sensitive cockhead.
His hips jerked back, into the sheets as he tried to excape your ruthless hands, his chin shot down to his chest as he watched you sit on top of him, lip pulled between your teeth as you tried to work him through his overstimulation. "Ffffffuck!" He finally vocalized, his entire body thrashing and twitching agaisnt the sheets, knees trying to curl upwards, thighs pressing together, anything to excape the overbearing pleasure that wouldn't stop coming.
"You're doing so good baby, so good, don't fight it." You talked him through it, trying to get his overwhelmed brain to slow down. "Oh-ohmygod it's too much-" He cried, his hands heaving the pillows he was gripping next to his head and slapping down on your thighs, digging his nails into the skin there. You swear you saw tears forming in his eyes before he screwed them shut once more, his jaw falling slack as he turned his head back and forth against the pillows, he looked so hot like this.
"You wanna squirt don't you baby? I thought you could take it, must not want it that bad." You teased, trying a different method to instill the confidence in him that he needed in this moment to get through this. "N-no I want it- wanna- wanna squirt-" He whined, his breathing starting to even out, his overstimulation must be fizzling out. "That's right, that's my good boy Toru." You smirked proudly down at him, finally noticing your own arousal that was throbbing between your legs.
"Goddd~ l-love when you call me that~" He giggled, his eyes cracking open as he tilted his head to the side so he could see you, keeping his head pressed into the pillows. You giggled before rubbing your thumb against his frenulum again. His breath hitched, his nails digging into your thigh right before cum shot out of his cock again, weaker this time. The ropes of his seed barely made it to his abdomen, most of it coating your fingers and easing the slide over his cock, making it impossibly more slippery.
"You really like it right here, huh?" You asked, continuing to massage the spot in little circles as you worked his seed out of his shaft. Gojo's body jerked forward, his legs shaking with the intensity of his second orgasm so soon after the first. He stayed silent, his mouth agape as he let you work him through his high. He came down with a gasp, greedily swallowing air into his lungs, panting when he was once again granted the short intermission before his cock was assaulted with your hands overstimulating him.
This time, you did see the tears fall down his cheeks when you didn't stop. The squelches emitting from his cock were sooo loud, so lewd, you guaranteed if you pulled your panties down right now, they would be flooded. The lube and cum created such a mess on your fingers as you rapidly stroked over him, your hand looking like a blur from how fast your pace was. One of Gojo's hands gripped your wrist harshly, almost stopping the movements completely. Good thing you had another hand, you used it to rotate over his tip, slightly punishing him for trying to stop you.
"Baby s-stop- stop I c-cant I c-cant do it-" Gojo cried, fat tears falling over his flushed cheeks, wetting the hair on the side of his face. He didn't say the safeword, but he sounded so desperate so you slowed your hand ever so slightly before you spoke, "This is gonna be the one Toru, just one more and you're gonna squirt for me, promise." You encouraged, nodding at him when he cracked his lids open, teary eyes locking onto yours. "Ohhhhmygod I don't know If- Ugh-" He tried protesting, raking his nails into your thighs.
"You can do it, you're so close baby, so close, it's gonna feel so fucking good." His hand had loosened his grip on your wrist, his head weakly nodding at your words. "I- I think I'm gonna cum already-" His words cut off with a whine, his chest heaving as he took sharp breaths into his lungs, high-pitched wines spilling from his lips as he felt his third orgasm come on. This time it felt a little different, it felt deeper, stronger, he couldn't really explain it, all he could do was take the painful pleasure, letting your hands milk him dry as his tired body tried its best to relax against the sheets.
The towel under his ass was already soaked with cum and lube, and you figured it was about to get a whole lot wetter, you weren't sure why you bothered putting a towel down in the first place.
Gojo started leaking under your thumb, a substance thinner than his cum spurting out of his cock in little amounts. "Baby- baby fuck- It- I cant- I cant-" He wined, losing his composure when he felt it creep over him. This new sensation was taking over his whole body, everything from the tips of his toes to his ears felt flushed, he felt like he was suffocating with how hard it was to take a good breath into his lungs, the feeling making him hyperventilate.
"You can, I got you, baby, I'm right here, let it out, squirt for me Toru~" You encouraged, jerking him off with more vigor, continuing to rub your thumb over his frenulum and flushed tip, steadily leaking the liquid. His thighs rapidly clenched under yours, his chin dropping to his chest to watch his dick, his intense eyes waiting to see something miraculous happen right when his orgasm hit. And fuck did something happen.
A clear liquid sprayed out of his cock, the stream coming out stuttered as you jerked him through it, moaning with him. "Oh my god you're doing it baby, good fucking job, fucking give it to me Toru~" You groaned, slamming your hands down on the length of his cock, fucking his orgasm out of him. He was being so loud, you were lucky your neighbors lived a good distance away, or they might call the cops because it seriously sounded like someone was being tortured, and in a way, he was.
His body shook and trembled, even after you slowed your hands on him. Tears streamed down his bright red face as his eyes fought to stay forward in their sockets, his hands weakly twitching against your thighs, nails digging into the skin. You leaned forward, wiping your hands off on the bed sheets before you took his teary face in your hands, pressing kisses to his open mouth, sweaty forehead, blushed nose, anywhere your lips could touch.
"Good boy Toru, good fucking boy." You giggled, wiping his tear-soaked hair away from his face as his glossy eyes made eye contact with yours, his hands wrapping around your waist. "How did that feel? Was it everything you thought it would be?" You giggled. His body twitched under you, your boyfriend's chest still heaving up and down rapidly. "Better, I love you, l-love you." He stuttered, closing his eyes as you pressed kisses to his tearstain cheeks and eyelids.
"C-couldn't have done that without you." He whispered, wrapping his arms around your body and pressing your weight onto him, his sticky cock sticking to your clothes in the process, but you would worry about that later, Satoru needed your utmost attention to calm down right now. "I love you too, my amazing boy~" You praised, letting him pull you tighter, your head digging into his neck as you pressed little kisses into the skin there.

Basics of Shaving
Someone on reddit was asking about how to start shaving as a trans man just growing in hair, and I thought- since it's summer- more people might need that info now, so I'll cross post it here!
Basic shaving tips below the cut:
So first things first, you have to decide- are you shaving because you want to get rid of the hair in that area permanently, or are you just shaving to shorten/tidy it but want to keep the hair?
If you're trying to permanently remove the hair from an area, shaving actually isnt your best move. When you shave you cut the hair mid-shaft but don't remove the root, and if you want to permanently remove hair, you gotta kill the root. Plucking removes the root, as does waxing, by ripping the root out. Lazer hair removal kills the roots by burning them away. Lazer hurts less than plucking or waxing but is more expensive.
If you want to keep the hair and are just tidying things up, here are some tips:
-Wet your razor and your face before you start, then apple a soap, shampoo, shaving cream, or shaving foam. Youre dragging a blade over your skin, so you need some lubrication to help not cut yourself. You shave while the soap is there, removing the soap as you go. Foam is easiest for this because you can see the areas you've gone over really well.
-Shaving removes the top layer of your skin also, and that layer helps keep moisture in. Every time you shave, you are losing moisture. Make sure to lotion or moisturize somehow BEFORE and AFTER you shave each time. This is what aftershave is for. Ideally you would do this daily, even when you arent going to shave that day. The more hydrated your skin is, the less likely you are to razor burn or to cut yourself. Bouncy hydrated skin is stronger than dry cracked skin.
-Go AGAINST the grain of the hair. Your hair usually grows in a downward direction, pointing at the floor. That means you start each stroke with your razor at the BOTTOM and then go UPWARDS. If you go the other way, with the grain, youre not really shaving so much as...petting your hair with a blade. You know how you only pet a cat in one direction? Its like that.
-Single blades disposable razors are cheapest, but the more blades you have, the better shave youll get. I prefer 3 or 4 blade disposable razors. Buy from the mens section- theyre cheaper than womens razors, even though theyre basically the same thing. Some razors have soap built into the razor itself. Thats good, but its NOT ENOUGH lubricant. You still need to add more soap/foam/cream when you shave.
-If your disposable razor tugs you, has rusty spots, or runs out of its little soap bar, throw it away. Using a dull or rusted razor makes you more likely to cut yourself or give yourself an infection. It is NOT WORTH IT to keep using an unsafe razor.
-If you dont like disposables, I would invest in a good rechargable electric mens razor. I cant recommend one unfortunately because I dont use this kind.
-If scented products irritate your skin, dont use a scented soap or aftershave. Use a "fragrance free" (not "unscented," they dont mean the same thing) soap, lotion, and deodorant. I like arm and hammer products for this.
-Always wash your razor after use to get the little hairs out of it. Dry it and then spray with isopropyl alcohol or even hand sanitizer to sanitize it. Keep it somewhere dry if possible, like in your bathroom cabinet, not in the shower, to prevent rusting.
-Be considerate to whoever you share a bathroom with. Try to put a piece of paper towel or a drain catch down so hair doesnt go down the drain, then throw the hair into the trash. Don't flush it, dont rinse it down if you can help it. Hair is bad for drains and pipes. Wipe up the sink or shower afterwards to not leave hair bits behind.
-If you cut yourself shaving, dont panic. Water makes blood expand, so being wet and getting cut often makes it look worse than it is. Take a clean damp cloth and pat the wound clear of soap. Take a paper towel or piece of gauze and apply pressure to the wound for a couple minutes until bleeding slows. Then apply an antibacterial ointment to a bandaid and put it on. If your razor still seems safe (not chipped or rusted) you can continue shaving the rest of the body part. Getting cut in one place doesnt necessarily mean youll cut yourself again.
-Gentle pressure, always. Gentle pressure and multiple passes over an area is better than one pass where youre pressing down really hard and gouge yourself.
-If you have areas where you want shorter hair but not to remove the hair (pubic mound for example), instead of shaving, trim with scissors. In the case of trimming you dont need the soap, but still take time to wash and sanitize your tools before and after. You aren't shaving away a layer of skin in this case so lotion is optional.
I hope I answered most basic shaving questions! Of you want to know anything specific, please feel free to ask, even if it sounds "obvious" or maybe TMI. I didnt have a male figure to teach me to shave, and I know a lot of trans dudes may also not have that older male teacher figure in their lives. We dudes gotta stick together and help where we can.

Lost & Found - Chapter Twenty Two.
Well, guys, here it is. Sorry it's a few days late, but as you all know I have so much going in my life at the moment, but I made an effort to get this to you timely, the final chapter of our story. Thank you all for your continued readership, you honestly mean the world to me :)

Previous chapters - One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten Eleven Twelve Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen Sixteen Seventeen Eighteen Nineteen Twenty Twenty One
Words - 3,533
Warnings - 18+ content throughout, Minors DNI. Recounts of kidnap, child trafficking, physical/verbal/sexual abuse.
“My stomach is hungry, but I’m not.” Turning to look at him, she pulled a half-scrunched face. “Is that weird?”
“Can’t relate. Whenever my belly is demanding I feed it, I gotta do it. You know how hangry I get.”
He made quite the valid point. Guero was like a bear emerging from hibernation when in need of food; very much motivated towards eating, and somewhat aggressive if couldn’t get his hands on what he required. “Mother fucking Mary, I do!”
Her giggle brought a little light to her face that had been all but extinguished in the time they’d lain on the bed, Emma battling with her emotions surrounding the fact that Rocco was no more. Just then, her phone beeped, Guero passing it to her as she sat up, pressing the message icon, her heart skipping a beat.
‘Will call you soon, darling. So relieved you’re alright. It’s all over now. Love you all the world. Mom xxx’
Her bottom lip wobbled, her throat pinching tight. “Oh my god.” She got that Marie was perhaps a little too distracted at present, having to play the part of the frantic wife whose husband was missing, explaining it to the kids and her family, so calling might have been difficult. A text was enough, though. It also showed Vincent’s intentions clearly. He was living up to his promises.
“As far as mafia bosses go, he seems pretty fair,” Guero remarked, after she’d shared those thoughts with him. “I know he’s only been at the helm for like, a couple hours, but yeah. At least we don’t have to be doing nothing for him we don’t wanna be.” He paused to let her speak, but her words were halted when his stomach let out a very audible growl.
“Somebody needs feeding,” she commented, arching an eyebrow as they both shared soft laughter.
“Yeah, I guess I do.”
Shifting herself up, she kissed his chest, reaching to stroke his face. “I’ll go put that pizza in the oven. Just because I don’t feel like eating, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. I can always nibble at a slice, if you don’t inhale the entire thing in three minutes.”
Getting up, he followed her through to the kitchen. “How well my woman knows me.”
While Emma went about jazzing up the frozen pizza with a little extra in the way of meat, cheese and olives, Guero stood and observed, handing her a tequila shot she sank in one.
“Keep ‘em coming, baby.”
He grinned. “As I will with you as soon as I’ve filled my stomach. If you want me to, that is?” He was mindful that perhaps sexual gymnastics might not be too high on her list of priorities.
Leaning to kiss him, she gave his cheek a playful nibble. “it’ll be the perfect thing to take my mind off of it all.”
It proved to be perfect for just that, Emma falling asleep soon after she’d been thoroughly ploughed into the mattress. In the coming days, though, it all whirled around her head like a small tornado, trying to find her balance and return to normal, yet one thing hung over her like a fog. She hadn’t heard back from Marie.
Two days passed, Emma feeling confused and hurt, throwing herself into her work to deal with what she assumed to be some kind of rejection, venting all to Lee.
“I wouldn’t worry, sunshine,” her friend began, handing her a can of lubricant to assist in loosening a rusted exhaust clamp. “She’s probably got a lot on, liaising with the police, reporting Rocco as a missing person, all the while dealing with the fact that he actually fuckin’ ain’t missing at all. I bet she’s had a lotta emotions to process, just like you have.”
Lee’s words made a lot of sense, Emma realising that perhaps it was a little selfish given the circumstances, for her to expect Marie’s immediate attention when she too had so much to process in the aftermath. “I think you’re right, yeah. I’ll give her time on it.”
Time. It was only natural that Marie needed some, she assumed, kicking herself a little for thinking selfishly. Of course, she had much to deal with and just because she wasn’t at the epicentre of it didn’t mean she cared any less. “You’re thirty, a grown woman. You can deal with your mom not calling you right away.” she thought to herself while returning to her work.
Come the following afternoon, though, Emma discovered that time moved a lot quicker than she’d envisioned it would, seeing a large, white vehicle driving slowly through the yard, coming to a stop in the space between the clubhouse and the workshop. When the door opened, she could barely believe her eyes. There, looking way too glamorous for her surroundings, stood the one person her heart had ached for since her escape.
She should have known the woman who folded her loving wings around her for nineteen years would never abandon her, now she could safely find a way back to her again.
“Mom?” She could scarcely believe it, but there she was. There was the woman who had loved her and tried so valiantly to keep her safe all those years. Pulling off her gloves, she shot out from the workshop, running with tears pooling her eyes towards the loving, open arms that awaited her. “Mom!” Reaching out, she flung her arms around her, Marie clasping her tight, breathing in her scent, sobbing hard into her hair with relief.
Even the most hardened of men who had exited the clubhouse to witness the scene felt their throats pinch, watching the women reconnect, the bond they had incredible. It was borne of love and loyalty, victims of similar circumstance and because of such, perhaps even stronger than that of DNA and blood.
“Emsy, oh my god. Oh, I missed you so, so much!” Marie cried, stroking her hair, holding her in a tight embrace.
“What are you doing here? I thought you were gonna call! Are the kids with you?” she gasped, Marie rocking her in her arms, pulling back a little to look at her.
“No, I couldn’t take them out of school, so they’re with friends. And I was gonna call, but it didn’t seem enough. Besides, had to show my face in the interests of looking concerned about my husband going missing out here. Nobody needs to know it was my daughter who I really came to see.”
Emma’s bottom lip quivered, Marie smoothing her hair and clutching her close again, soothing her as she began to sob. “Love you all the world, my darling. It’s over now, baby girl. All over. Shhh, it’s alright.”
“I feel... I... so much guilt, and I don’t feel like I should be relieved... and I,” she gasped, her chest heaving with the force of her sobs, Marie soothing her. “Mom, I can’t... I don’t... I...”
“Shhhh, my darling. You’re losing it a little, deep breaths, come on.” She began to breathe in deeply, holding Emma’s eye contact, watching as she mirrored her and began to calm. It was an exercise she’d done with her since she was ten, to calm her panic attacks as a result of what Rocco routinely inflicted on her. “You wanna go someplace to talk, just you and me?”
“Um, yeah. I gotta check with Lee first. And, well, there’s somebody I want you to meet.” Turning to the clubhouse, she smiled, beckoning with her hand. Guero walked over, returning the wide smile Marie greeted him with. God, Rocco had really been punching. She was in her early fifties, but still an absolute knockout. “Mom, this is my boyfriend, Guero.”
“Oh, what a nice name,” Marie began, opening her arms. “I’m a hugger, you gotta bring it in, mister!”
He laughed softly, obliging. “Good to meet you at last, Marie. She’s missed the hell outta you, you know.”
“Very mutual! But mother Mary, I was so relieved she was safe. So, you been looking after her, huh?”
“Yeah,” he nodded, wrapping an arm around Emma. “Always will, too.”
Her smile was fond, reaching an elegantly manicured hand to stroke his cheek. “Mind if I steal her a while? I think we need to reconnect.”
He shrugged, shaking his head. “No problem.” Emma kissed him, going over to Lee to both clear it with her, and introduce her mother and best friend, Lee a little stiff at being hugged, but polite all the same.
They headed off in the rented white SUV, Marie turning the air con back up to full, bemoaning the heat.
“Mom, this is nothing. You should try a summer here, holy Christ, it’s like hellfire!”
Marie smiled, turning the car around to drive back out. “Remember that summer when you were thirteen, and Rocco had gone away to Atlantic City for a long weekend? You turned into a prune from the amount you were in the pool.”
The memory warmed her, much like the sun had upon that beautiful July day, Emma remembering the taste of freedom as she gave Marie directions. “Left here. And yeah, yeah I remember it. You always tried so hard to give me little pieces of normalcy, in a situation that was anything but.”
“Wish I could have done more, darling.” The sad smile widened when Emma reached to squeeze her arm, Marie’s hand covering it in a soft clasp, continuing through the streets until they reached the coffee shop. Parking the rental car up, they walked down to the location, Marie going in while Emma took a table outside.
When she returned, she sat in silence for a few moments, tears filling her eyes as she reached to stroke her face in her hands. “Jesus and all the saints, look at you, my girl,” she gasped softly, marvelling at how well her daughter looked. “All tanned and happy, and these tattoos! My god! Are you going to have your entire arms covered, or just to the elbows?”
She shrugged softly, turning her arm so Marie could examine the underside. “I’m not sure yet. I was considering getting something across my upper back, because I’ve been bitten by the tattoo bug well and truly. I know you always hated them, so I expect to get an earful of protesting.”
Her eyes were kind, shaking her head softly. “Nope, Emsy. It’s your body, you do to it as you please. Just because it isn’t my thing, it doesn’t mean it can’t be yours, baby. Besides, they really suit you. Tell me about them, what’s this tree lady looking one here all about?”
“She’s a dryad.” Emma began, before explaining to her all about the mythology behind it, Marie listening with interest. All the way through, she marvelled to herself at just how alight Emma looked, how she was seeing so much of her character sparked into life, the person she only ever revealed when it was the two of them alone.
As for Emma, she was revealing the details of her job when suddenly, her voice quivered and she paused. “I’m sorry, I just... I can’t believe we’re back together. I thought I’d never see you again, and you’re right here. I love you, mom.”
Marie fanned her face, taking a deep breath as her eyes swam with tears. “Love you too, Emsy. I can’t believe it either, darling girl. Look at us. We’re free.”
“What’s your plan, going forward?” she asked, composing herself, taking a big sip of her coffee.
Marie widened her eyes a little, pushing the crumbs from the brownie she’d eaten into a small pile upon the plate before her. “Play the part of the heartbroken widow after they find his remains, head back to New York, and put that damned prison he kept us in straight on the market. Too many memories, none of which I want to keep. It’s time to start afresh for us all, isn’t it?”
Indeed, it was. In the months that followed, the plan devised by Vincent and the club ran its course with perfection, nobody any the wiser that Rocco Lombardi hadn’t been mauled by a bear after the scant pieces of his remains were recovered within the forest. With him gone, Emma was able to exist as a person, Marie was able to move on with her life, a life that included leaving New York behind for a fresh start.
There was also one little part, or rather now not so little, that Emma could finally reconnect with, too.
Driving up the tree lined street, Emma’s memory of the place bloomed into full colour, the memories from her childhood all coming back to her. She recognised the houses, some different, some exactly the same, her face breaking into full joy at seeing the huge guy who looked like a quarterback standing outside of the one that definitely hadn’t changed much.
He looked just like their dad had at twenty-seven.
Guero had literally only just braked when she flung the door open, jumping from the car and running up the bank of grass outside her grandparents' home, Dylan covering the ground just as quickly, his arms wide. It was an embrace twenty years in the coming, the siblings overjoyed to see one another again after so long, the emotions flooding out as they held one another, laughing and crying.
“Oh my god, oh my god, look at you!” she cried, holding his face in her hands, stroking his tears with her thumbs. “You look just like dad.”
He nodded, pulling her close again. “And you look just like mom.” Their hug was near unbreakable, Guero standing back and letting them reunite, leaning against the rental car with a smile. “Gran’s just getting her shoes on.” he then added, turning to see his tiny grandmother ambling as fast as she could, Emma sobbing as Bea held her arms wide.
“Oh, sweetie pie!” she gasped, Emma falling into her soft hug with a sob. “I never thought I’d live to see the day! Welcome home, welcome home. Heavens, we missed you so much!”
Dylan moved to assist their grandpa, Wilf waving his hand as he struck his walking cane into the ground. “Ahh, with your fussing, boy! I’m fine!” Reaching Emma, he suddenly stood straighter than his sore back had allowed him to in years, holding his arm out. “Give me some cuddles, babe. God, I missed ya!”
Snuggling against her grandpa’s shoulder, she wept all over again, his lips pressing a kiss on her forehead. “We got her back, at last we got our gal home. I just wish your mom and pop could be here to see it, too.”
All four of them stood in a loving huddle for what felt like a very long time, Emma finally calling Guero over to introduce him, where he was embraced just as warmly. They went inside, her grandpa immediately picking up his phone.
“Family photo time! Now, where in the heck did I put my selfie stick?” He began to rummage, her grandmother rolling her eyes. “Bea! Where’d ya put it?”
“He’s found Instagram and decided it’s his thing,” she explained, moving to reach behind the couch cushions and retrieve the errant selfie stick. “And he even does those tic-tac videos!”
“That’s Tik Tok, gran,” Dylan softly corrected, giving Emma a nudge with his elbow.
“Bah! I don’t know all this new aged, newfangled internet stuff! Disney Plus is about as up to date as I like to get. Now, everybody get in, come on, Guero, you too!”
Five smiling faces were captured, a moment in time none of them would forget, a family reunited and joined by the person who had found the little lost bird, eventually returning her to the flock from where she’d came so many years before.
The flock that now surrounded Emma was made up of three different groups, all of them her family, one born into, one taken into, and one found. Merging them was something she looked forward to, but with a little apprehension when introducing her family to the woman she called mom.
Marie’s move from east to west coast had not been an easy decision to make, but with her only sister already out there and her parents sadly both passed, she had very little to remain on Staten Island for. She was also long done with the stigma of being a now deceased mafia bosses’ wife following her around. It was time for a change.
It meant her children leaving the only place they’d called home and their friends behind, but her eldest was quick to remind her just how fast children adjust. Getting to run into the arms of the girl they’d thought to be their nanny, who Marie now said they should think of as their big sister definitely helped their relocation, though, when Emma met them at the airport upon their arrival.
It would be a further three months before Emma’s flock all came together, Marie wanting to throw a housewarming dinner, inviting everyone she was close to from the club, as well as her grandparents and Dylan, plus his new girlfriend. Having explained everything that had happened to her, her family were not in the dark over the bond she and Marie had formed, yet nerves still riddled her as she paced the lounge area of the spacious Orange County abode, Guero right behind her, rubbing tension from her shoulders.
“Why you bugging?”
She halted, turning to rub her hands over his smooth arms. “I don’t know, I really don’t! I mean, gran and grandpa were fine about it all, Dylan too when I explained it all to them. I guess I’m just nervous about calling her mom in front of them, don’t wanna upset them or make them think I’ve forgotten Cassie mom when I never will.”
It had been an emotional moment, back when Dylan had driven them out to the cemetery in Spokane so Emma could visit their parent’s final resting place, the siblings cuddling one another tightly as the elder had cried for all she’d lost.
Guero was just about to reassure her that he didn’t think that would be the case at all when a call came from the front door, Emma seeing Marie moving to greet her guests in the form of her grandparents themselves. Walking over to do the same, she was presented with a truly heartwarming sight.
“Beatrice, Wilfred, welcome to my home. I’m so delighted to have you both here,” Marie spoke cordially, offering her hand. Immediately, Bea shook her head. A nervous lump rose in Emma’s throat, for all of two seconds.
“No, sweetie pie. We’re family, and family hug.” She watched Marie sink happily into the offered embrace looking like she was breathing a sigh of relief, her gran continuing. “Thank you for looking after our precious gal, doing what you could for her, being a mother to her. I’m so sorry for everything you went through because of that man, but I am so grateful to you for trying to make it better for Emma while she was there.”
“Of course, of course,” Marie tremored, a million memories flashing through her mind’s eye. Secret cuddles, secret gifts, secret cake, secret love. She no longer had to hide any of it.
Wilf beamed, opening his arms to her next. “You’re a good gal, Marie. I echo everything the wife just said, and this place you got here, holy moly! Is than one of those infinity pools you got out back there?”
“It is,” she confirmed, kissing his cheek and moving to welcome Dylan and Evie, his girlfriend.
“Well dang it, I should have brought my trunks, shown off this body of mine to all you ladies!” His joke had everyone in soft fits, Wilf flexing his non-existent biceps with a grin. “What are you laughing at, boy? I look better than you!” he then directed at Guero, who was as usual totally taken by the hilarity of his girlfriend’s grandfather.
“That’s why I’m glad you didn’t bring the trunks, man. I can deal with that kind of competition.” His statement only provoked further laughter, Marie ushering them into the house to offer further introductions. Emma stood back with Guero to watch it all, this band of people all so different, from so many walks all life, all brought together because of her. Family. Her family. There they were.
“What you thinking about?” Guero asked, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, resting his cheek against hers as she leaned back into him.
“Just how I’ve gotten everything I ever wanted at last. It doesn’t look like I thought it would, but that’s one hell of an amazing family I have right there in all those people.”
He kissed her cheek with a smile. “You got a really amazing immediate one right here, too. You, me, and this little one.” As he stroked the small, rounded swell of her pregnant belly, she couldn’t agree more. Six months later, their first child joined them, a daughter.
They named her Cassie Marie.
The End.

Tips for Maintaining Your UTV Accessories
Owning a UTV is an exciting adventure, and having the right accessories can enhance your off-road experience. However, to ensure your accessories last and perform at their best, regular maintenance is important. In this blog post, we'll share some tips to help you maintain your UTV accessories and keep them in top condition.
Clean and Inspect Regularly
One of the most important things you can do to maintain your UTV accessories is to clean and inspect them regularly. After each ride, take some time to wipe down your accessories with a mild soap and water solution. This will help remove any dirt, mud, or debris that may have accumulated during your adventure. Be sure to dry the accessories thoroughly to prevent rust or corrosion.
While cleaning, take a moment to inspect your accessories for any signs of wear or damage. Look for cracks, loose screws, or other issues that may need attention. Addressing problems early can help prevent more serious issues down the line.
Lubricate Moving Parts
Many UTV accessories, such as winches, hinges, and latches, have moving parts that require regular lubrication. Check your owner's manual for specific recommendations on what type of lubricant to use and how often to apply it. In general, it's a good idea to lubricate these parts after each ride or at least once a month.
Using the right lubricant is important. Avoid using household oils or greases, as they may not be suitable for outdoor use and can attract dirt and debris. Instead, opt for a high-quality lubricant designed for outdoor equipment.
Store Accessories Properly
When not in use, it's essential to store your UTV accessories properly. If possible, store them in a dry, cool place, such as a garage or shed. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or damp areas, as this can lead to fading, cracking, or rusting.
If you need to store your accessories outside, be sure to cover them with a breathable cover to protect them from the elements. Avoid using plastic or vinyl covers, as they can trap moisture and cause mold or mildew.
Replace Worn or Damaged Parts
Despite your best efforts, some of your UTV accessories may eventually wear out or become damaged. It's important to replace these parts as soon as possible to ensure your safety and the continued performance of your accessories.
When replacing parts, always use genuine manufacturer-approved replacements. Aftermarket parts may not fit properly or may not meet the same safety standards as original equipment. If you're unsure which parts to use, consult with a UTV accessories specialist or your local dealer.
Seek Professional Help When Needed
While many UTV accessory maintenance tasks can be done at home, some may require the expertise of a professional. If you encounter a problem that you're not comfortable addressing yourself, don't hesitate to seek help from a qualified UTV technician or accessories specialist. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your UTV must-have accessories in top shape and ensuring a safe and enjoyable off-road experience. By following these tips and staying on top of your accessory maintenance, you can extend the life of your gear and keep your UTV ready for any adventure.

persona 4 and 5
Kanji x succubus Ann and rise
Sleeping sex( i don know the actual Nane of this) Double blowjob and paizuri, some Bites marks and a little bit of yuri.
Kanji always have good nights of sleep. But he doest know he is being visited by demon girls at night
Hello author i Hope you are okay kudos
This was a bit of a headache to get through, but! I’m pretty happy with this set up. I took my time and tried my best. I don’t think I’m entirely up for threesome asks yet, but this was a pretty fun test for that. I hope it’s a fun read, if a bit rusted and meh at parts.
CW: Double paizuri, double blowjob, a bit of lovebites, a touch of Yuri, not super there, but it’s at least hinted at.
With a cat scratch of a moon in the dark, cloudless night sky, a beautiful blonde stood across the street from a humble, small home. Beside her, stood her girlfriend. A darker haired woman who matched Ann with a pair of her own small, straight horns at the top of her head between two pigtails, and a short, purplish-black tail that swayed behind her. “So, this is your choice for tonight’s meal?” Rise asked, and Ann nodded, her own honey gold hair pulled back into a bun. Similarly, she also shared in her partners horns and tail. However, unlike the tiny horns Rise had, Ann had a larger, pinker hued, curved pair at the sides of her head. “He has a partner, but they shouldn’t be home for a while. So, we should have plenty of time to have some fun.” She said, a smile spread across her face to match the one her girlfriend gave.
And, with that, the duo crossed the darkened street and slipped into the home with the use of their powers. The homey, comfortable interior left to be looked over later in favor of finding the master bedroom. Where, they found their prey. A dark-haired man, who’d dozed off on his bed with the tv left to play until Ann flicked it off.
Meanwhile, Rise undid Kanji’s pants to get his cock out from his boxers. Which, caused the succubi to both pause to admire his healthy length and girth before they climbed onto the bed. Rise on one side of the unconscious man’s legs, and Ann on the other. And, once they had their spots, the succubi set to work.
Carefully, Ann wrapped her fingers around Kanji’s member and began to slowly stroke along his length. The touch of her skin against his enough to send a ripple of sleep magic across his skin and ensure their prey didn’t wake up as the duo worked him slowly up to erection.
Once he was finally semi-erect, Rise and Ann lowered their heads to run their tongues over the length of the dark-haired man’s dick. The brunette demon at the tip, her skilled tongue used to swirl around the head of his semi erect cock while the blonde succubus kissed and nibbled at the base. Kisses left along the length of him as well as slow swipes of her own long tongue until the duo switched places. Then, Ann kissed the precum off of Kanji’s tip while Rise kissed and toyed with Kanji more from the base.
Though, unlike Ann, Rise was a bit gentler and more playful in her time at the bottom. The shaft of the twitching cock neglected by the brunette in favor of kisses and nibbles to Kanji’s thighs and feather light kisses to his sack. However, their seperate administrations didn’t last too long before Ann dipped her head and took the man’s length into her mouth.
In response, Kanji gave a quiet, low moan, which encouraged the blonde succubus to bob her head along his nibbled and marked length. Yet, she didn’t give him an entire blowjob before she stopped prematurely to let Rise have a turn instead. Once they’d both bobbed their head to tease Kanji, though, they moved on to the next step.
Which, included the use of their combined spit as lubrication to sandwich Kanji’s cock between their plump breasts and entrap his member in a cage of warmth and skin-to-skin friction. Yet, while that friction felt nice for the unconscious man, as shown by his low moans and an occasional twitch, the two succubi were left to handle their own hormones when they began to similarly simmer. Which, they accomplished with a slow kiss. One that allowed Rise to taste the blonde’s cherry-flavored lipbalm as well as the taste of pre-cum that still lingered in her girlfriend’s mouth.
Yet, the two still didn’t linger upon that stimulation for the unconscious man they fed upon. “Should we just, let him get off and feed already?” Ann asked as the girls sat up on either side of Kanji’s legs, but Rise only hummed as she wiped away a bit of spit from her lips and thought, “No~” she finally settled, a smile on her face as she looked at Ann in the darkness of Kanji’s bedroom. “If he cums too quickly, we can just keep going. After all, you did say his partner would be gone for a while, right?” She hummed, and Ann nodded, which was enough to earn a smile from her girlfriend. “Then there’s no real reason to-” Her assurance fell dead on arrival at the sound of the front door opening.
“Kanji! I’m home early!” Naoto called simply. The sound of his voice enough to wake the dark-haired man despite the succubi’s magic. “Shit…I fell asleep...” He groaned as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes and sat up to go and greet his partner. However, when he looked around his dark room, there was no longer any sign of anyone there. Only the quiet shadows and the erection the succubi had stashed back in his pants. The succubi swift to leave before they were caught.

Rust Lubricant Market: Exploring Anti-Rust Solutions
Introduction
Rust is a chemical reaction that happens when iron or steel comes into contact with oxygen and moisture in the air. This reaction causes the metal to break down and corrode over time if left unprotected. Rust occurs due to electrochemical oxidation and forms when oxygen interacts with the iron present in steel and alloys. The rusting process actually converts metallic iron into its oxide form, which is commonly known as rust.
Need of Rust Lubricants
As rust is a natural phenomenon, it can severely damage machinery, industrial equipment, automotive parts and more if not prevented. Rust not only causes cosmetic damage but eventually leads to structural failure if left unchecked. This is where lubricants play a vital role in protection. They form a defensive barrier between the metal surface and external factors like oxygen, moisture and pollutants that cause corrosion. By preventing direct contact, lubricants safeguard machinery from breaking down prematurely. This helps extend their operational lifespan and reduces maintenance and replacement costs over the long run. Workings
Rust lubricants come equipped with various anti-corrosion properties that work together to tackle rust formation from different angles: Coating Formation: When applied, most lubricants quickly form a thin, protective barrier over the metal surface. This barrier shield prevents environmental oxidizing agents from coming into contact with the base metal. Bond Strength: The coatings created by high-quality lubricants bond strongly to metals. This ensures the barrier layer remains intact for long-term resistance against rusting cycles like wet-dry. Water Displacement: Certain lubricants are designed to displace water from the metal surface. Water is a key contributor to corrosion, so this property helps inhibit the rusting reaction. Oxidation Inhibition: Many lubricants contain oxidation inhibitors that chemically interfere with the rusting process once it begins. This stops corrosion in its tracks and preserves the metal below. Lubricating Properties: Beyond corrosion resistance, some lubricants are formulated with additional lubrication abilities for machinery components. This dual action protects against both rust and wear & tear. Things to Look For in Quality Rust Lubricants
With the vast options available, it's important to weigh certain characteristics when choosing a high-performing lubricant: - Film Strength: A strong, durable film protects metal surfaces for years of use through weathering cycles. Weak films quickly degrade. - Adhesion: The lubricant's ability to form strong molecular bonds with the substrate prevents flaking or peeling over time. - Water Displacement: As mentioned, effective water displacement is critical to prevent corrosion. - Oxidation/Corrosion Inhibitors: Product content and proportion of powerful inhibitors like zinc, phosphates etc. - Temperature Resistance: The film should remain intact in varying climates and maintain flexibility. - Equipment Compatibility: Ensure the lubricant is suited for the metal/machinery without causing damage. - Ease of Application: Spray, brush or wipe-on application methods provide convenient, uniform coverage. - Value: Cost-effectiveness over the protected lifespan versus inferior alternatives requiring reapplication. - Warranty/Manufacturer Reputation: Sign of a trustworthy brand standing behind product performance. Common Types of Rust Lubricants
While there is a broad selection, some frequently used varieties include: - Mineral Oil-Based Lubes: Inexpensive mineral and paraffinic oils form robust barriers but require reapplication. - Wax-Based Lubes: Hard waxes like beeswax coat metal surfaces with excellent water-displacing action. - Grease-Based Lubes: Thickened greases adhere strongly and tolerate moisture well, suitable for moving components. - Lacquer/Paint-Based Lubes: Durable paints, lacquers and varnishes protect via robust bonded films suitable for immobile assets. - Synthetic/Ester-Based Lubes: Newer synthetics tolerate heat/cold better with film-strengthening polymers for resistance. Choosing the right lubricant type depends on the application, environmental conditions and required performance lifespan. Professional advice can help select the most suitable variety. Maintaining Rust Protection
Even with high-quality lubricants, some maintenance is needed to sustaining long-term rust prevention: - Reapplication: Recoat as per manufacturer guidance or when old films degrade to maintain complete coverage. - Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean and dry surfaces prior to reapplication to maximize film adhesion. - Inspection: Regular visual inspections allow early detection of rust for prompt retreatment before damage occurs. - Repairs: Address existing rust or damaged coating areas immediately to stop corrosion from spreading. - Storage: For inactive machinery, apply a coat of lube prior to indoor/outdoor storage for extended protection. Proper lubricant selection and consistent maintenance ensures machinery, vehicles and equipment receive full defense against rust and corrosion. This guarantees long service life and operational dependability even in challenging outdoor situations and climate extremes. With lubricants playing such an important protective role, it pays to trust a reputable brand.

Why Singapore Apartment Regular Fire Hosereel Servicing is Needed
For protecting homes in high-rise residential condominiums, fire security systems are the most important. Among these, the fire hosereel is a line of defense in the event of a fire incident. It simply does not work to have the equipment, however. What matters is periodic servicing of the fire hosereel in Singapore, especially residential apartments where safety is a shared responsibility.

The following are the top six reasons why routine maintenance of fire hosereels is not optional—but essential.
1. Fire Hosereels Must Work at the Very Moment of Fire Emergencies
During a fire, every moment counts. The hosereel with efficient operation can subdue and contain the fire even before it has time to spread and inflict further harm. Without regular fire hosereel maintenance in Singapore, the hoses may get clogged, get damaged or otherwise suffer from insufficient water pressure.
For residential apartment blocks, where fires spread quickly and affect multiple homes, an operational hosereel can be the difference between a near miss and widespread property loss. This is the reason why residents and property managers must ensure that such systems exist in place to spring into action immediately.
2. It's Mandatory Under SCDF Guidelines
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) requires yearly fire protection system servicing of all residential buildings. This includes compulsory fire hosereel servicing in Singapore. These checks must be carried out by properly trained personnel and documented accordingly.
Non-compliance may attract fines, prosecution, or failing fire safety inspections. MCSTs and management corporations appreciate regular servicing with peace of mind and compliance with legal safety requirements.
Professional service providers like drakofire assist many properties with these regulations on an annual basis.
3. Regular Servicing Extends Equipment Life
Fire hosereels, like all equipment, can become worn out. Internal parts may rust, hoses can crack, or nozzles can become blocked if not serviced regularly.
By scheduling routine fire hosereel servicing in Singapore, these issues are caught early. Technicians can clean, lubricate, replace worn parts, and ensure everything is functioning smoothly. This not only prevents future emergencies but also saves money by avoiding costly replacements.
Think of it as maintaining your car—servicing now prevents major repairs later.
4. Improves Resident Safety and Fire Preparedness
Apartment buildings have many tenants—children, families, seniors—all of whom depend upon operating fire equipment. A serviced hosereel ensures that if there is a fire, the equipment will work correctly.
The majority of household fires start in the kitchen or electrical appliances. With quick availability of a functioning hosereel, residents or building staff can respond instantly subject to SCDF arrival. This additional security is achievable only with routine servicing of fire hosereels in Singapore.
5. Increases Property Value and Confidence
Fire safety is increasingly important to tenants and purchasers. A building that still has functional fire protection equipment reflects responsibility and care. For landlords or property managers, a commitment to regular fire hosereel maintenance in Singapore can put the building's marketability on the upswing.
It makes the buyer feel secure enough to invest in apartments in well-maintained buildings. The tenants will most likely renew the leases when they feel safe. It's an investment that gains their trust and strengthens your property's reputation.
Fire safety partners like drakofire will typically work with residential apartments that target maintaining high property standards.
6. Identifies Problems Before They Become Risks
Routine fire hosereel upkeep in Singapore avoids hidden problems. Slow leak, clogged valve, or pressure imbalance may not be detected until too late. Maintenance avoids such issues being repaired early.
Technicians trained professionally test water pressure, examine the hoses for any condition, and identify physical or functional damage. They also ensure the hosereel is accessible, labeled, and not obstructed.
Prevention generates safer outcomes—and fewer emergencies.
Common Fire Hosereel Servicing Misconceptions
Some apartment owners or managers think that if the hosereel seems fine, it doesn't need servicing. That is a hazardous misconception.
The following are the reasons why visual checks won't do:
Interior rust may remain invisible
You cannot assure water pressure without a test
Hoses or valves can be undermined in the long run
That is why fire hosereel servicing in Singapore should never be skipped. Only experts can guarantee full functionality.
How Often Should Fire Hosereels Be Serviced?
The Singapore Fire Code states that hosereels are to be inspected annually by qualified technicians. More frequent inspections may be recommended for high-rise or older buildings.
Documentation is also vital. Maintenance reports are to be kept on site for audit and inspection purposes.
Engaging a professional fire protection company like drakofire ensures your servicing is done promptly and in compliance with all specifications.
Choosing a Reliable Servicing Partner
When selecting a fire protection company, look for the following:
SCDF certification
Expertise in residential properties
Clear servicing reports
Emergency support and follow-up services
Your provider should also conduct system usage training for building personnel or MCSTs and perform simple self-checks between visits.
Conclusion: Don't Wait—Service Your Fire Hosereel Today
Apartment safety is not something to procrastinate. One accident can cause major damage, hurt, or even worse. Proper fire hosereel maintenance in Singapore prevents harm to your family, neighbors, and assets.
Investing in maintenance ensures that:
You are meeting fire safety regulations
Avoids expensive repairs

Expert Fire Hydrant Pressure Testing Singapore | Annual & Emergency Checks
Cutting corners is not to be done in fire fighting. Sprinkler systems and alarm systems get all the praise, but Singapore fire hosereel servicing should have its share as well. Low-profile as it is, a functioning fire hosereel might just be the difference between the fire being instantly put out and a catastrophe.
Whether you have an HDB block, office building, warehouse, or shop, keeping your fire hosereel systems at their best working condition isn't only wise—enforced. Here we discuss why Singapore fire hosereel servicing is necessary, what it involves, and how good service providers such as drakofire can safeguard your building.
Why Fire Hosereel Servicing Matters
Fire hoses are frontline firefighting equipment in almost all Singapore buildings. They permit steady flows of water, made available to the occupants or trained staff to extinguish small blazes before they become major fires. But just like any firefighting equipment, hosereels will wear out over time.
Regular Singapore fire hosereel maintenance prevents hose cracking, reel clogging, low water pressure, and valve failure. Without proper servicing, your equipment could fail when it's needed most—putting lives, assets, and compliance at serious risk.
Much like the critical fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore, hosereel servicing ensures that your building’s water-based fire safety infrastructure remains fully operational and compliant.
What is Singapore Fire Hosereel Servicing?
Only qualified experts can perform fire hosereel maintenance in Singapore, as per rigorous SCDF checklists. A standard service entails:
Visual inspection of nozzle, reel, and hose
Hose length, bending, or wear checks
Water pressure and flow tests
Lubrication and adjustment of parts
Valve replacements and checks
Tagging and update of service records
Such routine, similar to the fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore, means water delivery systems are always ready on a moment's notice.
SCDF Compliance: It's More Than a Checkbox
Disregarding SCDF regulations may bring more than just penalties. It might cause denied insurance claims or even legal issues. Correct Singapore fire hosereel servicing and proper fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore are both critical elements of keeping legal and safe facilities.
Service providers like those with drakofire keep you one step ahead of inspections by having electronic and hard copies of compliance reports, and providing audit preparation services.
Advantages of Secure Fire Hosereel Maintenance in Singapore
Having a reliable team provides concrete, tangible advantages:
Peace of Mind: Your fire systems are guaranteed to be ready.
Cost Savings: Avoid breakdowns and lower future costs.
SCDF Confidence: Be completely ready for annual checks.
Occupant Safety: Working hosereels enhance evacuation safety.
Insurance Compliance: Certain policies mandate yearly reports for both fire hydrant pressure test and hosereel servicing in Singapore.
How Often Should You Serviece?
SCDF requires fire hosereel servicing in Singapore every year. Bi-monthly or quarterly service, however, would be needed for buildings with greater risk of fires—such as factories or laboratories. It is the same with the fire hydrant pressure tests in Singapore, which are regularly conducted by many commercial properties for safety guarantee.
If you are a owner of a mixed-use or retail building, a comprehensive fire safety package (hosereels, sprinklers, hydrants, alarms) ensures that no deadlines or elements are left behind.
Warning Signals That Your Hosereel Requires Immediate Servicing
Inspect your building for:
Low or irregular water pressure
Brittle or cracked hoses
Leaking or clogged nozzles
Rust on reels
Expired or absent inspection tags
Just as the need for a fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore, these problems need to be addressed immediately by certified experts.
Selecting the Ideal Servicing Company
Not all suppliers are equal in terms of service. Choose:
SCDF-certified engineers
Clear pricing and comprehensive scope
Emergency assistance availability
Accurate documentation (digital + print)
Experience across property types
Firms related to drakofire tend to be relied upon for their thorough reporting and consistent performance.
Book Your Inspection Today
If you don't know when you last had your system inspected, then it's time to take action. Don't wait until you get a surprise fire drill or audit. Book your Singapore fire hosereel maintenance today and make sure you're also current on your fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore.
Final Thoughts
In Singapore's closely built-up landscape, fire readiness is not just a choice—it's a necessity. Starting with hosereel maintenance right through the fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore, each step counts.
Leave it to seasoned experts to ensure your fire protection systems stay compliant and operational. Your tenants, property, and peace of mind are worth it.

How to Keep Your Garage Door Running Smoothly Year-Round
Your garage door is one of the most frequently used entryways in your home. It protects your belongings, provides security, and adds curb appeal. However, many homeowners don’t give much thought to its upkeep until something goes wrong. Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your garage door and automatic gate systems continue to function safely and reliably throughout the year.
In this blog, we'll share practical and easy-to-follow tips to help you keep your garage door in top shape, minimize repair needs, and extend the life of your system. Whether you’re managing routine garage door repair or looking into a new garage door installation, these strategies will help you stay ahead of common issues.
1. Inspect Your Garage Door Regularly
One of the most effective ways to prevent major problems is to visually inspect your garage door system once a month. Look for signs of wear and tear such as frayed cables, rusted parts, bent rollers, or misaligned tracks. If you notice anything unusual like jerky movements or strange noises during operation, it’s best to address them early before they turn into more expensive repairs.
Don’t forget to check your automatic gate system too if you have one installed. It works under similar mechanisms and also requires routine attention.
2. Keep the Tracks Clean and Aligned
The tracks on either side of the garage door guide the rollers and allow smooth movement. Dirt, debris, or even slight misalignment can lead to problems over time. Use a damp cloth to clean the inside of the tracks every couple of months and make sure they’re properly aligned.
If the tracks are bent or damaged, don’t attempt to fix them yourself. Track alignment is a delicate process and could benefit from professional garage door repair services.
3. Lubricate Moving Parts
A garage door has many moving parts that need proper lubrication to function smoothly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a light spray oil to the rollers, hinges, springs, and tracks every three to four months. This reduces friction, prevents wear, and helps the door open and close more quietly.
Be careful not to over-lubricate, and never use heavy grease as it can attract dust and grime, leading to buildup.
4. Test the Auto-Reverse Safety Feature
Modern garage doors come equipped with an auto-reverse feature that prevents the door from closing on objects or people. To test it, place a small object (like a piece of wood) on the ground where the door would close. If the door doesn’t reverse immediately upon contact, the feature may be malfunctioning.
Similarly, automatic gate systems should also be tested for safety features periodically. If these safety mechanisms aren’t functioning properly, it’s time to call for professional garage door and gate repair in Sherman Oaks or your local area.
5. Tighten the Hardware
Garage doors go up and down hundreds of times a year, and all that movement can loosen bolts, brackets, and other hardware. Every few months, take a wrench or socket set and check all the bolts and fasteners securing the door’s components. Tightening them will help your door operate safely and quietly.
The same applies to gates, especially automatic gate systems, which experience frequent use and vibration.
6. Check the Door Balance
A garage door that is out of balance puts unnecessary strain on the opener and can cause premature failure. To check the balance, disconnect the opener by pulling the release handle, then manually lift the door halfway. If it doesn’t stay in place and starts to fall or rise, the springs might be out of balance.
Spring adjustments can be dangerous, so this is a job best left to a professional garage door repair technician.
7. Examine and Replace Weatherstripping
Weatherstripping at the bottom of your garage door helps keep out dust, water, and pests. It also improves energy efficiency by preventing drafts. Inspect it regularly for signs of wear, cracking, or missing pieces. If it’s worn out, replace it with a new weather seal strip.
Don’t overlook gates with seals or rubber guards either—they too need to be in good condition for optimal performance.
8. Clean and Paint the Door
Cleaning your garage door doesn’t just keep it looking good—it also protects the surface from rust and damage. Use a mild detergent and soft cloth to clean it, then rinse thoroughly with water. If your door is made of metal and showing signs of rust, sand the area lightly, then prime and paint it with exterior-grade paint.
Wooden doors should also be inspected for warping or peeling paint, especially before winter sets in.
9. Check the Cables (But Don’t Touch Them)
Cables are essential for your garage door’s operation, but they can be dangerous to handle. Look for signs of fraying or wear near the bottom roller bracket. If you see any damage, call a garage door repair service for help. Never try to adjust or replace high-tension cables on your own.
Professional technicians in Sherman Oaks are well-equipped to handle cable repairs safely and effectively.
10. Schedule Annual Professional Maintenance
While many maintenance tasks can be done at home, some jobs should always be handled by a professional. An annual inspection from a trained technician can identify small issues before they become major problems. During these visits, they’ll test your system, inspect all mechanical and electrical components, lubricate moving parts, and recommend necessary repairs.
If you're in Sherman Oaks, opting for routine garage door repair or even automatic gate installation check-ups can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns.

11. Be Mindful of Seasonal Changes
Weather affects the performance of your garage door. In cold weather, metal components can contract and lubricants may thicken, making the system sluggish. In summer, excessive heat can affect the motor and other electrical components.
Prepare your garage door and automatic gate systems for each season by doing a quick maintenance check. Before winter, inspect for drafts and ensure seals are tight. In summer, make sure ventilation is adequate and components aren’t overheating.
12. Upgrade When Necessary
If your garage door is over 15 years old and frequently breaking down, it might be more cost-effective to invest in a new garage door installation. Modern doors are more energy-efficient, safer, and come with advanced features like smart controls and improved insulation.
Similarly, if your existing gate is manual or outdated, consider an automatic gate installation to boost both convenience and security.
13. Educate Family Members on Proper Use
Improper use is one of the most common reasons for garage door damage. Teach everyone in the household how to operate the garage door and gate systems properly. That includes never hanging or leaning on the doors, not attempting to race under a closing door, and understanding the manual release feature in case of emergencies.
14. Don’t Ignore Unusual Noises
Garage doors and gates may start to make odd sounds when something isn’t right. A grinding, squeaking, or banging sound can indicate anything from a loose roller to a worn motor gear. Don’t ignore these sounds—have them inspected and repaired promptly to avoid bigger problems later.
Conclusion
Maintaining your garage door repair and gate system doesn’t require a lot of time or technical knowledge, but it does require consistency. Regular checks, simple maintenance, and knowing when to call in the pros can help your systems last for years without issues.
Whether you’re dealing with routine garage door repair, need a new garage door installation, or are exploring automatic gate installation options, staying proactive will save you time and money in the long run.

Summer: Prevent overheating and check insulation
Summer can bring its share of challenges, especially if your garage is exposed to the sun. A poorly insulated garage door can turn the space into a furnace.
· Check the door insulation, especially if you use your garage as a work or storage space. An insulated door helps maintain a stable interior temperature.
· Check the seals , especially at the bottom of the door. If they are cracked or stiff, replace them to prevent heat and moisture from entering.
· Clean the automatic door opener's safety sensors . Dust or cobwebs can affect their proper operation.
Autumn: Preparing for Winter
As winter approaches, it's time to make sure your garage door is ready to face the cold so it's ready to work all year round.
· Repeat a complete inspection as in the spring, focusing on the springs and the opening system.
· Test the automatic door opener : Make sure the controls work properly and the system closes completely.
· Check the backup battery if your door opener has one.
· Add weatherstripping if necessary to prevent drafts and water or snow infiltration.
Winter: Minimize exposure and respond to problems quickly
During the winter, your door is put under more stress, especially during storms or frost.
· Clear snow from the garage entrance regularly to prevent ice from obstructing the door opening.
· Avoid opening and closing the door too often during very cold weather, as this strains the mechanical components.
· Listen for unusual noises : Squeaking, clicking, or resisting sounds may indicate a cold-related problem.
Conclusion
A well-maintained garage door not only ensures the security and convenience of your home, but it also preserves your investment in the long run. By adopting a seasonal maintenance routine, you reduce the risk of breakdowns, avoid costly repairs, and extend the life of your system. Take a few hours each season to inspect, clean, and adjust your garage door. You'll reap the benefits year-round. If you encounter a problem, don't hesitate to contact Portes Magistrales.

Word WIP Game
Rules: you will be given a word. share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that start with each letter of that word.
I was tagged by @what-alchemy with the word SPARK:
All I'm writing is naughty robots, so we're posting naughty robots!
S
"Slow down," Tarn says, his voice straining. He reaches down and closes his hand over Pharma’s head, careful not to squeeze. His claws scrape down the back of Pharma’s neck and he pinches the thin metal of a stabilizer. He tries again. "Slow down." Stop, stop, stop. Pharma lifts his head, his lower face glossy with Tarn’s lubricant, and licks his lips. His fingers don’t stop working, pressing deeper and scissoring open. Tarn’s valve spasms around the intrusion, calipers clutching desperately. "Overload if you want. You have me at your disposal all night, don’t you?"
P
Perceptor beeps in alarm as Brainstorm abruptly pulls him right off the lab table and flips him around in a messy tangle of cables. He’s immediately pressed flat, head narrowly missing a set of graduated cylinders. Brainstorm shoves his spike into the narrow, lubricant-slick gap between his thighs, rubbing right against Perceptor’s valve, and says, "You’re so fragging hot."
A
All at once he's grounded again, cratered out, with an ache in his gut and a craving to be touched, kissed, wanted. It cuts through his fear and doubt, his exhaustion, a knife between his ribs. First Aid swallows hard, choking on the feeling.
R
"Read them to me in full," Pharma says slowly, as if First Aid is a bit dense. "Is that too much to expect from you? I hadn't necessarily considered your demotion warranted on grounds of technical competency, but perhaps I might rethink that opinion if you can't perform the basic tasks of your current function to satisfaction."
K
Knock Out bumps the console with his hand, flipping the order down to low priority. He'll do what he can, he supposes. He turns and presses a repair kit into the MTO's hands, earning a startled look. "There's nothing I can do for you at the moment except wait for parts. Apply one of the nanite sheets to the broken surface. Make sure you coat the entire area thoroughly — and no getting it wet until at least two solar cycles after it stops itching or you'll be up to your neck in rust in a week."
Tagging anyone who sees this if they'd like to do it. Word is GRAIN.

Deferiprone Market Regional Growth, Trends Report 2037
Research Nester’s recent market research analysis on “Pressure Ulcer Diagnostics Market: Global Demand Analysis & Opportunity Outlook 2037” delivers a detailed competitors analysis and a detailed overview of the global Deferiprone Market in terms of market segmentation by end-user, base oil, and by region.
Growing Oil & Gas Industry to Promote Global Market Share of Hydraulic Fluids
The global Deferiprone Market is estimated to grow majorly on account of the increasing oil & gas sector. Hydraulic systems are heavily used in the oil and gas industries since oil and gas drilling are labor-intensive processes that rely heavily on hydraulic systems for energy and help in managing vast amounts of power. This may lead to a corresponding increase in the demand for hydraulic fluids as they are essential for the smooth operation of hydraulic systems.
Request Report Sample@
According to estimates, global crude oil output rose by over 5% in 2022.
The global Deferiprone Market is estimated to grow majorly on account of the increasing demand in the aerospace & defense industry. Applications in the military and aerospace use a variety of hydraulic fluids since commercial and military aircraft both have hydraulic systems to operate the brakes, flaps, and landing gear which uses hydraulic fluids to aid mixed fleets in extending the life of these systems.
Some of the major growth factors and challenges that are associated with the growth of the global Gynecological Devices Market are:
Growth Drivers:
Test Type (Imaging Technique, MRI, CT scan, Fluorescence Imaging)
Rising Generation Ulcer Stage
Challenges:
The rising concern for the environment and supply chain disruptions are some of the major factors anticipated to hamper the global market size of hydraulic fluids. Environmental harm from hydraulic oil leaks lasts for a long time and it is known that soil, groundwater, river water, and ocean can all be contaminated by hydraulic fluid spills made of petroleum, which could be harmful to people, plants, animals, and even marine life.
By base oil, the global Pressure Ulcer Diagnostics Marketis segmented into mineral oil, bio-based oil, and synthetic oil. Out of which, the mineral oil segment is to garner the highest revenue over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to growing industrialization across the globe. Hydraulic oils with a high viscosity index that are made of mineral oil are of the highest quality and are frequently used in industrial equipment to transmit power and lubricate moving parts in the machines.
Global industrial production in 2023 increased by over 0.1%, excluding the United States.
In addition, the synthetic oil segment is expected to gain a notable share of revenue on the account of benefits offered by this oil. Synthetic base oils are formulated from chemical compounds rather than crude oil which offer the advantage of better viscosity-temperature (VT) behavior. In addition, these oils are thinner at low temperatures and thicker at higher temperatures and have a lower coefficient of friction. Furthermore, hydraulic systems filled with these are easier to start, demonstrate smaller energy losses, as well as provide protection against corrosion and rust.
By region, the Asia Pacific Pressure Ulcer Diagnostics Market is to generate the highest revenue by the end of 2037. This growth is anticipated by growing urbanization in countries such as India and China which has led to rapid economic development in the countries. This may increase the demand for hydraulic fluids in the region since urbanization drives infrastructure development which relies on hydraulic systems. In 2021, urban areas were home to more than 35% of the population in India and over 60% of the population in China.
In addition, the market in North America is estimated to hold the second-largest share on the account of growing demand for automation. This may increase the demand for hydraulic fluids since automated machinery use hydraulic systems that require hydraulic fluids to ensure the smooth functioning of these systems.
Further, the market in Europe may witness a huge demand for hydraulic fluids owing to the growing focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. This may increase the demand for sustainable hydraulic fluids for various industrial purposes.
