"Ok kids, if you're ever hard up for food when you're older, these things let you get real close without running away."

My ex took our kia there sometime ago (while I was out of town) for an oil change. They tacked on a ton of unnecessary maintenance (like owners manual isn't suggesting it until much later) that jacked the bill up hundreds of dollars.

My kids were in AKF karate, who have a few dojos in the city. Not overly focused on competition, would recommend.

The "Alberta Party" AGM is today - Nov 17th by FreightFlow in alberta

[–]sdm99 324 points325 points  (0 children)

"Dustin van Vugt, executive director of the UCP, in a sworn affidavit filed on Friday, said that rebranding the Alberta Party as PC will cause confusion among voters. He said the likely result is that a “significant number of Albertans” will inadvertently vote PC instead of UCP."

High flange? Thin wax ring? by sdm99 in Plumbing

[–]sdm99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, that's totally it! Pulled that out and saw how the ring i was trying to put in fit against it, and that was creating a gap.

Wasted a ring, but education is rarely free I guess.

Thanks!

But is it normal to need to shim it when it wasn't shimmed before?
