You can’t get a bottle in there…but what about a hose hooked to a funnel?

Bought the extended warranty when I bought my truck. Apparently the extended warranty doesn't cover anything related to corrosion, which in New England is any part on the underside of your car. I call the service department and tell them which fluid line is leaking, and where exactly it's leaking. They tell me I have to pay them $210 for them to put it on a lift and look at where the leak is ( already told them) and see what parts need to be replaced (I already told them). This is just to tell me the transmission line is bad and has to be replaced.

Plus I've gotta tow it there (because it's bucking and shifting weird) and then leave it for God only knows how long until they can get to it. Or pay to tow it there, pay the $210 for a "diagnosis" then tow it home to yet again tow it back to them to have the work done.

I seem to remember from working in a garage that we had a labor calculator book which would tell you how many hours labor a given job takes. That plus price of part is your estimate. The kicker is that I can't even add atf because you have to pump it directly into the tranny from below. It can't be driven again until it's fixed. Dealerships are such **** rapists.

End of rant.

Re: What is in your pipe?

I've smoked some of these now. The Eastfarthing is nearly identical to a mixture I toss together from blending tobaccos from time to time, the Taste of Summer reminds me somewhat of Ashton's Guilty Pleasure. I doubt I'll buy it again, the Guilty Pleasure will fill that space better, but I don't regret trying it and will surely finish it, in time.

The Crumble Cake English #1 is awesome. Alexander's bridge is not what I expected, I guess I expected something more Balkan, but it's a nice Cavendish, and sometimes I go for that.

I haven't had the VaPer yet, but will shortly. If it's as good as it seems to be, that's awesome. Also have not yet tried the Cringle Cake, but have high expectations.

I haven't had much Sutlliff for quite some time. I used to buy one of their Balkan mixtures regularly, but they discontinued it. Back when I smoked it there was still such a thing as Syrian Latakia. Maybe that's why they dropped it? I dunno.

It's likely, but this is not the answer the judges are looking for.

Re: Political Discussions

Which is more dangerous to the mission for a leader

Incompetent subordinates?
Competent but disloyal subordinates?

The first, maybe you can teach them, carefully delineate what you want from them, replace them if necessary.

The second, maybe they'll carry out the mission? Maybe they'll undermine you at every turn, stab you in the back, destroy your hope of success?

What did Abe Lincoln do when it turned out that the golden boy McClellan was known to be competent, but apparently either disloyal or cowardly? Replaces him with a saddle-maker no one has ever heard of with known character flaws, and wins the war.

I remain hopeful, if skeptical, for the coming days.

Pray for your enemies.
