HELP!!!! Water in my spark plug holes, how do i dry out?

Yes, it still is damp, it will dry out itself given time, or else pull the spark plug boots off the plugs, shoot boots with WD40 inside, and also down into holes and over spark plugs, may take awhile to dry being they are way down in there

for about a buck a can, you can buy auto paint rubbing compound, and polishing compound, depending on how much fog, use one or both, with a power drill and buff wheel, it will even remove very shallow streaks from glass, works well on headlights too, and faded paint, which is what it is intended...

Proper way to deal with neighbors dog that comes on my property.

Plenty of laws regarding loose dogs, tell neighbor you want it stopped in a nice tone of voice, if that doesnt work, animal control complaint.. IF possibly making a enemy of your neighbor over it is worth it, do it.
