Greetings Zoot Allures, I see you’ve made it to the camp out here also. Wonderful. The more, the merrier.
Laughing Man, I am glad, welcome again! 
Where have you been since Christmas 2014?
This is for you:

Slaughtering cows, travelling, being down and out, living below the grid, and the usual decadent social debauchery lifestyle one can expect from a humble cynical hedonist.
Is it a nice place near the Canadian border, isn’t it?
It’s not that terrible really other than my sinus allergy afflictions I am currently enjoying getting acclimated to a new environment.
Lots of forests, lakes, and wilderness areas.
So far my experiences have been quite enjoyable where socio-economically I’ve been rather fortunate.
That makes me happy.
I like forests, lakes, and wilderness areas.
Because if I don’t believe that the world will be destroyed, I must believe that it will become a sort of paradise. Nothing inbetween, eh?
The world in between? How mysterious and vague.
Can you be more specific?
Well sport fans, my internet is only going to work another two days and then it gets shut off.
Consequence of getting my Jeep fixed here in an auto mechanic shop I am afraid.
Don’t worry, we’ll make the best of these next two days and I’ll have my internet working again next week to everybody’s delight I am sure.
Delay that. Looks like my internet will stay on after all.
The money fairy paid me a visit and it is awesome in good fortune. Now, where was I? Ah yes, tearing a part people’s delusions which is a favorite hobby of mine.
Everybody has their hobbies. I admit mine are a bit on the unconventional side of things.
Ah, well…
It doesn’t dry your skin?
Someone told me about maintenance on a jeep, that jeep stands for, “just empty every pocket”.
Hold on. What’s wrong with the jeep? Tell me the problem and I can tell you what to expect from the mechanic. If he thinks for even a minute you don’t know what’s going on, he’s likely to cheat you. He’ll either tell you something is wrong that isn’t, or do a lousy job on repairing what is wrong.
They’re all flakes. None of them give a shit… they’re only there to get a pay check. The managers don’t supervise the mechanics and the mechanics are all alcoholics and pot heads. And why is this? Capitalism. Too much freedom in the market.
A lil dry skin is better than joker’s cooties.
Thought you were dead.
I hope it’s a proper car, with a carburetor. These fuel injection cars make no sense.
It is neither of those problems giving me issues but instead just the transmission.
$500.00 in the last month alone separate from payments.
The world we live in now, with its ups and downs, the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’?
Yeah, all mechanics are there to f*ck you for money.
The problem arises concerning time and convenience especially when you’re working full-time like myself.
Consider finding a used transmission from a jeep in a junk yard without many miles on it, first. It might be cheaper than getting the trans rebuilt by a mechanic. If you have it rebuilt, take it to a transmission shop, not a general garage. A transmission is the most difficult part to build in a vehicle and you want mechanics who are trained to work on transmissions…not some mechanic who’s done brake jobs and tire rotations all his life.
