Hi Folks,


It seems that some lovely lady in my life decided that putting together gasket and seal kits was not challenging enough for me. So she suggested we visit the local dog pound to get me a 24/7 project. It took 3 different dog pounds, but the "perfect" dog came home with us a few months ago.

He was everything we thought we wanted. Big, powerful, energetic....and we named him Payton. The vet agreed that we had chosen well. Payton is in good overall health. And he is smart. Sometimes too smart. Like the way that he faked me out when I unchained him and thought he was going to go meekly into the house like he usually does. That lead to a 3-hour chase around the neighborhood.

Then there was the time in the middle of winter that he broke his chain and lit out after a deer. That resulted in him crossing an icy pond only to fall through the ice. I learned that I can run REALLY fast when necessary. And I learned that a hair dryer and warm towels can work wonders with a cold and soggy dog.

So if you should order a gasket and seal kit for your transmission, and see a few stray black dog hairs in the box, you will know that Payton was keeping watch. I consider it quality control. The cats were just not enthusiastic enough to stay around through the process of "kitting" but the dog thinks that it is part of his job to keep an eye on things.

Remember, Payton is a large dog. He needs a lot of dog food. So keep those gasket kit orders coming. He will appreciate your business.
