[AT] Getting water out of a gearbox

[Dean VP]

Cecil,

I can really identify with your statement of having less patience with stupidity. I have to restrain
myself at times because I fear that I may be the one having a stupid attack.  I usually don't succeed.
I busted out laughing in response to your last two sentences.   I had one of those kind of events at a
local, newly opened Wal Mart store a few days ago . I made the mistake of asking a Wal Mart employee
in the Hardware section why three items I was wanting to buy had empty boxes on the shelf and had been
that way for the last two weeks.  In fact the person I asked headed up the hardware department, I
found out later. The employee response was so unbelievably stupid I had to retrieve my dentures from
off the floor.  I guess the rejection letter hadn't arrived yet.

That conversation is the very reason I try to not have any contact with 
dealers etc. I get the manuals I need for my equipment and try to do all 
my own service work.  It keeps my blood pressure down.   As I get older, 
I have less & less patience with stupidity.
Our trouble here in OK is the oil patch has hired all the help that 
could actually tie their shoelaces and show up for work.  The rest were 
hired and then rejected by Wal Mart.
