[AT] Trans. fluid

Ralph that is kind of what I meant.  I figured you lived far enough out of 
town and moved around little enough in the winter that you didn't get in a 
lot of it.  I'm sure there is plenty of the main roads and in town up there. 
It is used here when necessary but that's maybe 3 or 4 days a year and most 
of what we get is a liquid compound sprayed on the roads the night before 
they think there will be some snow or ice.
