If you don't know what
transmission I'm talking about, click here
and
here.
Just a quick update. I heard from Bob, and it looks like
he will be able to repair the transmission. He called and asked me to come
over so he could show me the inside of the transmission and what had happened to
it. This guy is fascinating to me. See that toothpick in the corner of his
mouth? It's always there. (click to enlarge the picture if you need to)
I took a short video of him showing me the
inside of my transmission. I tried to act like I had SOME idea of what he was
talking about. I watched the video later and was embarrassed at how many times I
said, "Wow. He would show me some broken piece of the transmission and I would
say, "Wow," even though I really had no idea what he was talking about.
I'm going to upload the video of Bob to my
Google video account and let you watch it if you want. Probably tomorrow
sometime. This guy is a dying breed. He is from the era when you fixed your own
car. You even took starters and transmissions and things apart, fixed them, then
put them back in your car. And all the parts of cars were made so that you could
do that.
I love Bob.
ALSO, I'm working to compile a list of all the
movie suggestions that were left in the comments to my movie
post. I'm going to post the entire list, along with stars or
something beside those that I've seen and recommend. I dumped the text of the
comments into a Word document and it's 8 pages long, size 8 font and two
columns. It's taking me awhile.
