The original came through fine - titled "RE: st-digest V2001 #93 or
BikerDawg barks.", it appeared in digest #94

If they do 2 hours on the bike @$72 => $144 + full boat on the oil at $50
and + full boat on the filter at $15 you are at $209 - add another half an
hour for the smoke break and you are right at $250....
Basically if they charge you as much as they can for everything, they can
get to $250..... I would not be happy with that price.
