    When we still had to go through emissions testing you'd fail if you had any codes in the computer. I've got a Mini with a bad 4th gear in the trans, so it wouldn't pass emissions.:pout: I found that to be very annoying as the first three gears worked just fine.:anonymous:

    Someone a few posts back mentioned getting snipped, make sure they have instructions hanging up in the room. And make sure they put the grounding pad on good, cause if they don’t, you’ll get the crap shocked out of you.

    I got snipped years ago, it was no big deal. Drove myself there and drove myself home when it was done. People make it out way worse than it is

    When they went to cauterize the tube they shocked the hell out of me because the grounding pad wasn’t on good!

    For mine, the surgeon removed a section about 1/2" long, cauterized the ends and put small clips on the vas defrens. If anything makes it through that, it earned it. :laugh:

    I believe I had a section removed, then the ends were tied

    I just found my second tick of the day, and the third for the week on my person.:anonymous:
    I really hate the creepy crawling feeling of a tick crawling across my skin, especially under my clothing! :annoyed:

    I also found another one climbing on my tractor Tuesday, I dropped him into the web of the wolf spider that's been hanging around behind the fuel tank. :hattip:
