But I saw on the news that I80 west bound was closed due to spin outs etc. Time to go make my contribution to the gambling gods. Then back at 0001 to make sure all is well with the upgrades.
My webcam shows it's dumping in Oakhurst right now. Fortunately, it's too warm to snow or there would be a blizzard. The power hasn't gone out yet which is a miracle. The roads in Marin Co. were flowing today and there were some very deep puddles on the freeway that caused water to spray over the car. Plus the usual crashes. I hope you get back down the hill unscathed.

I have a claim filed with DHL. I don't want to say this, but I have a sinking suspision that WorldOne sent me the bar knowing it was damaged and knowing I would file a claim to get another one.

I have only pulled mine out once and found it so flimsy that I never did it again. I change my oil often enough that I'm not worried about running low as long as there isn't a puddle under the car. Just stick the new one in and consider it a plug.

Before they sent it to you, they were going to send it to me. Instead M7 sent a new one. The one you have now. They were keeping the display, as a display.

I sure wish there was a thumbs-down emoticon.

Well, you saw the box. Did it look like there was shipping damage to you?

There were no holes in the box that could have caused the gouges in the bar. The thumbs-down is for not owning up to shipping a damaged product. Just my opinion, though.

I should have known that with a 30 second time limit that Blake would mess up O & K.
He must post every 30 .5 seconds

Yeah, he laid all the work on you. I won't buy anything from them unless they take responsibility for this. I consider it fraud to blame DHL for the damage.

Gee, I wonder where that came from? Seems to me there was a trail coming off the track and a big puddle in the parking area.
