Bob, one lesson I've learned with Rx drugs is: no Wal-Mart pharmacy! Just not very good employees. I hardly ever see the same clerks twice at Walgreens, but they're pretty good. (I've since stumbled across another chain whose pharmacy crew have top notch attitudes, while searching for vaccine shot this summer, and might have to do more business with them.) Of course, insurance poo bahs stroking their chin about whether this is a truly justifiable refill -- for pills I've taken for more than a decade and am scheduled to take forever... are ludicrous.
I'm generally an Amazon fiend, but know this: their filter is poo. When in doubt, look for parts numbers at Rock Auto, then go back to Amazon and start comparing prices.
Sorry if my "Wot? No OIL in my shop?" incident cursed you. Now the prophesy has been fulfilled. Next, somebody we know is going to be unable to get their filler cap off after draining.
I have been a mailorder fiend since long before there was an internet, and I don't buy many auto parts at the brick and mortar stores, but lately I feel like I've got to buy
something when I take my used oil there! Just to do my part to keep them in business!
At least you staggered each course of blocks! My neighbor has built a few planters for her backyard garden with smaller landscaping bricks and it's three layers, just one, two, three, stacked, then another column, one, two, three... oh dear... this violates ancient stonework and masonry principles! (I'd tell her more, but she doesn't know the secret handshake.) She (or her man, who is actually a tradesman who should know better) also built one of these things on a slope and the blocks are parallel to the slope, not perpendicular to the earth's gravity.
Are these the newfangled, brighter brights, whiter light type bulbs? Because lifespan is not their bag, baby. Also, this time of year when cold temperatures first come back is also, for some reason, when such things die but... yeah, you don't have that kind of cold.
