[C320-list] Lube throttle cable

[David Nolte]

I just dropped my son off for his first overnight Boy Scout campout.

He just graduated from Cub Scouts, & hung his Pinewood Derby cars on  
his bedroom wall last week. Three top 5 finishes in the past 4 years,  
including a #1, thanks to the dry graphite and he sanded his cars  
into foil shapes - a pickup from sailing!
