I must apologize.... in my previous post I misrepresented the link that I provided when I used the term "incoherent sentences". I should not have pluralized the word sentence. It should have read "incoherent sentence", as there was no punctuation or any other indications of the end of a sentence at any point in that rant.

Glad he came in and fixed their wagon though. It's always great when Jasper employed AES certified mechanic learns us all about "tquor converters".


SIDE NOTE: I think I know why Jasper's quality has declined as of late.

Better this than the pan, I guess. Off for an hour-long round-trip to Vatozone.

Fortunately, no. I was changing the oil. It is always threaded in just a little harder than I thought it should, but it also always looked OK and tightened up fine. This must have been the last straw. Might chase the threads just to be safe.

It was the truck. Traffic was lighter, so just a 45-minute round trip and $4.33 later, it has a new drain plug, a pan-full of fresh Mobil1 and a new FL820S. I was in town earlier today, but I guess my prognosticator wasn't prognosticating at the right wavelength. At least I didn't have to go all the way into the Springs.

Are you talking about a dual range auxiliary transmission.

Gotta love this Rocky Mountain weather. 84 for a high tomorrow, 34 for a high Tuesday with a Winter Storm Watch.



Teller County/Rampart Range above 7500fT/Pike's Peak Between 7500 And 11000 Ft

Winter Storm Watch in effect from Tuesday, 3:00 AM MDT until Wednesday, 12:00 PM MDT.


WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 6 to 12 inches possible across the mountains with locally higher amounts across the northeast facing slopes.
