MIDGET strippers.

I LOL'd at that one!

Winter ORDN antics. What else would you have expected? Don't expect it to stop here.

Are you saying that ORDN is getting too big for it's britches?

The burrito cart's not doing so well?

I had no idea such things would be so bad for all of us.

We have still never been there. May have to go soon.

Same pile of shit, only lowered? LOL Seriously though, it sucks that you went through all of this only to find that they don't REALLY fit the way they need to. How does it drive though? Does anyone else make springs for it?

That ruined my lunch break...Thanks, Casper!

ROFL!!! I think he's looking at it backward?

My wife and I both REALLY suck at budgeting, and we're in the process of changing how we do things, but it's still all from the same joint account. We also have 2 savings accounts, one to not be touched other than emergencies, the other is linked to the checking account for a cushion, and bigger purchases. My wife is really good at planning, and with that will get things paid on time. I'm better than her with math and spreadsheets, so I that's what I do, and together we are figuring out how much needs to be in the account at certain times to pay bills. More accurately, we are using a spreadsheet for a checking account register, and we'll be taking out 1/4 of the larger monthly bills out of that each week, so that we will know what we CAN spend, instead of just thinking that we have enough, and ending up NOT having enough. Once we get back on top of things, we will be doing more auto pays, etc...

Sounds very similar to what we do in my house. I think the important thing is that you have found what works for the 2 of you to take care of things. It sounds like it works well, too! Is the savings account setup that way, or is it just something that you keep track of? I like that idea, and I think we may be doing some more of that in the future.

Yeah, that shit won't fly at any dealership that I've worked for!

I may have to take a look into this, since I don't think I'll be using mine for OSMC any more, at least for a little while. I'f I get anywhere with it, I'll let you know.

Agreed. Although, it's probably less labor intensive (cheaper) for them to just toss a new one in a box and ship it out. Plus, this level of customer service WILL build customer loyalty. I know I will not hesitate to buy another Streamlight product now! The only thing that holds me back from buying a more expensive light is the fear of losing it! For some reason, this slightly bigger light has stuck with me. The smaller Stylus Pro's don't seem to like to hang around. I have a Stylus Pro that needs a new end cap assy. I know it won't be covered under warranty, because the batteries leaked, and they WILL be able to tell. I know the end cap will fix it, I tried one from another light (which I ended up losing!!!) They have them for under $5 on their website, which is GREAT! until you add it to the cart and shipping is added. Almost $20 for a part for a $27 flashlight? I don't think so. I found an online dealer that has them for about dollar more, and only about $5 shipping. I think it was just over $9 shipped.

Exactly. I've seen it before, and I've even been in the position to have to do this, due to a lack of repair information, told top by management, etc... I don't like to fix them that way.

Bazinga!

THIS is badassery to the fullest!

EXACTLY!

I NEED this bike. Someone buy it and donate it to me, NOW!

So, with the Christmas holiday, it took them a little longer to get it to me, their system showed that it shipped Saturday, 12-26, I got it Wednesday 12-30. What I got is the latest production version of the same light, which is 10-tap programmable, where the old one wasn't. I'm just relieved to have it back! I never realized how much I use it every day!

Fortunately, I've never had it happen to anyone very close to me, however I do know that you sometimes never know what's really going on with someone, even those that are closest to you.

THOSE former LEO's worry me a little bit. Kind of like Rosewood in Beverly Hills Cop 3! LOL

Yeah, sounds like the trans is probably done, and for what it is, it wouldn't be worth it to pull it out and try to fix that one. It also sounds like the cost of replacing that one is borderline insane for the situation. I'd be tempted to make you an offer on it, but I'm not a Mazda kind of guy.

www.car-part.com lists up to $450 for a used one in Ohio. Try it out! Make sure you enter it as a Protege, not just a 5!
