Jeez Louize, had a ongoing tranny leak problem that the dealer wanted $600 to fix. My old mechanic could do it for $350, but why bother, here's some tranny fluid, just keep her topped up, you'll be ok. So the leak gets worse and I find MacArthur's Garage in downtown Fairhope at 10:30 am this morning.

"Yeah, bring her on in" says they, and I do. So, two hours later, everything's done. John MacArthur let me help and taught me how hard to torque the tranny pan bolts. Drop the tranny pan, clean it so's you could eat out of it, clean and polish the magnetic filter plate, flush the tranny, replace the filters, replace the pan gaskets with oem rubber, adjust the drive-1 band, check the drive-2 and 3 band adjustments, chat a lot, have a beer, drop the Jeep, refill the fluids, and back her out good to go. I sh!t you not $118.20 !!!!

Oooh Golly, I'm loving Alabama !!!! I mean, seriously honest people; a place where integrity is more than just a word, and where occasional relationships seem to be governed by the simple proposition of "courtesy".

Kelley, I can't begin to thank you, and Ian, and Bon Bowen, for encouraging this move.

Ciao. John

John - glad to hear you've hooked up with some good "home" folks!!! Just remember, if you need a dentist or dental surgeon, I got a best friend for ya and not a "witch doctor" as 'he' likes to refer to them.

Did his prelim ed at USA pre-med at Spring Hill, lab in P'cola and then med in Philidelphia. Did his intern for several years at a major hospital in Miami (aka War Zone - can't remember the name) but where the military sends its folks for OTJT. He's shown me some horrific pics and said it was non-stop action!!!! He is military oriented as his brother was/is in the Navy. Knows his stuff no doubt!!!

My sis from Memphis has even made the trip to Mobile for his services. Close friend of the family, so he won't disappoint.

Just be sure to mention I said to tell him (as a reminder) "gotta get some tig ole bitties!!!" !!![:D]

Looking forward for a BIG seafood dinner!!!! Glad I got to finally meet my bro a few weeks ago! Sheri is still traveling, but we'll get down there soon!

Was going to apologize beforehand but then what the hey, this is DAERHT ITNA EHT. Gotta tee off on Brother TomLabel with another Alabama story.

So here I am downtown, going to pay the City of Fairhope utility bill. Now you can put it in an envelope with a stamp, or mosey on downtown. Had to go to the bank just next door, so decided to mosey. Now they got a teller window you can drive up to, so yepper, up I go. Pay my bill and as the question.

Me "Is there any way to pay this electronically or by phone?"
Them "Well of course there is."
Me "But I looked on the bill and there's no phone number."
Them "Oh, well we announced it just last year."
Me "But I just moved here a few weeks ago."
Them "Oh, well maybe I can give you the number."
Me "Yes, I think that would be nice."

And then, seeing as how I was at the City of Fairhope, Alabama, Municipal Offices, I thought I would ask about registering the Jeep and the BMW, so ..
Me "By the way, where's ya'lls DMV?" (in my best accent)
Them "What's a DMV?"
Me " Where ya go to register cars and get licenses and such."
Them "Oh, you want the Annex."
Me "Ok, what's an Annex?"
Them "Oh you know, the Courthouse Annex."
Me "Well, not really, but I'll take your word for it. And where is this Courthouse Annex?"
Them "Well it's just past Bruno's Market, on the right."

A chill came over me, as I remembered other directions I received .. 'second light past the Target .. ', 'first left after Bob's Ford .. ', 'down by Minny's Gas and Market ..', 'up to Montrose, by Moseley's Meats.'

Now I really do love this small towm stuff, but God invented street addresses and Google for a reason. When I Google Moseley's Meat, I get ... well, you don't wanna know what I get.

John, you owe me a half of a cup of coffee that I just lost reading your last line.  [:D]

[TOMLABEL]
