Just got back from Memphis (50 miles one-way); carried the wife's car (Cadillac CTS) in for oil change/service; it's still under warranty and they're persnickity. She had a blown turn signal bulb and I asked the service manager to replace it (woulda done it myself, but I knew I was getting it serviced today) In about 20 minutes, he comes into the waiting area and said that the socket was corroded and also needing replacing........$75.00. Told him to fix it. About 2 minutes later, I thought how can the socket be corroded; it's all sealed up. Went out to the shop and asked to see old socket; he handed it to me and followed me out into the sunlight; it looked BRAND NEW. I showed it to him and just looked at him........told him I'd been a farmer/mechanic for better than 50 years. He said that based on their experience, a new bulb would fail within a week if the socket wasn't replaced; told him just to put the old one back; (it just snaps in) he said, well, that'll be $60.00. I said how much is the bulb; $30.00. $30.00 FOR A PARKING LIGHT BULB???? Well, it's actually only $10.00. Said he would discount the labor. Told him I wasn't happy; just put the thing back together and let me leave. He said, well, actually it's ready to go (hood was down and technician had walked off. The oil/filter/service price was the same as always; he charged me $26.00 for the bulb/socket and labor. Never heard so many different stories out of anyone's mouth.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
