Today's thought.

 

A pastor asked an older farmer, decked out in bib overalls, to say grace for the morning breakfast.

 

 "Lord, I hate buttermilk", the farmer began. 

 

The visiting pastor opened one eye to glance at the farmer and wonder where this was going.

 

The farmer loudly proclaimed, "Lord, I hate lard." 

 

Now the pastor was growing concerned.

Without missing a beat, the farmer continued, 

 

"And Lord, you know I don't care much for raw white flour". 

 

The pastor once again opened an eye to glance around the room and saw that he wasn't the only one to feel uncomfortable.

 

Then the farmer added, "But Lord, when you mix them all together and bake them, I do love warm fresh biscuits. 

 

So Lord, when things come up that we don't like, when life gets hard, when we don't understand what you're saying to us, help us to just relax and wait until you are done mixing. It will probably be even better than biscuits. Amen.”

Yesterday I arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution on a man I believe was innocent.

 

My last minute plea for clemency to the Governor had failed and I was feeling worn out and depressed.

 

As soon as I walked through the door at home, my wife started in on me about, "What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you been? Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it." And on and on and on.

 

Too emotionally worn to play my usual role in this familiar ritual, I poured myself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the tub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks as I dragged myself up the stairs.

 

While I was in the bath, the phone rang. My wife answered and was told that her husband's client, James Wright, had been granted a stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight.

 

Finally realizing what a terrible day I must have had, she decided to come upstairs and give me the good news.

 

As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of me, bent over naked, drying my legs and feet.

 

"They're not hanging Wright tonight," she said.

 

I whirled around and screamed, "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WOMAN, DON'T YOU EVER STOP?!”

Ladies, If your boyfriend has to ask AutoZone to change his wiper blades, it's time both of you start seeing different men.

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
