What's that red stuff?


Ew...it's transmission fluid. Yuk. Luckily, there was Bob at Clutch Unlimited in Fresno who connected me with a rebuilt tranny in record time. Kind of put a damper on my 'quick trip to town' in between ski programs. After the tranny incident, I wasn't much for hunting down wvo. A couple of unsuccessful attempts that left me wishing I had a good on-board filter system with a pump; I saw a Smart and Final where I picked up 10 gals of virgin oil. It certainly isn't my first choice (it may not burn as cleanly and completely as wvo, it defeats the whole recycling thing and it's a bit pricey). Well, it was considerably cheaper per gal than diesel or even gasoline. With another week in the mountains, I hope to connect with someone in town who has wvo.
