There's 'Atlanta' for ya... Griffin is 90 miles from us.  Breed is Kuvasz - or Kuvaszok if there are many (the Hungarians don't really know hhow to pluralize).    A couple of breeders in NC, so we see a few of the dogs there.  I'm trying to hit the GMCES rally the last two days in Bowling Green on the way to a show, so if anybody wants to see my youngster in show trim (i.e. after a bath) drop by Sunday nioght or Monday

Johnny,

1.  I will cut the filter open.  What I expect to find, if anything,
is non-magnetic -- almost all the residual debris will be babbitt
material.  If there is ferrous material, it should be caught by the
FilterMag I use on both the engine and transmission external filters.

2.  He's OLD -- about a week older'n me!

3.  Wish we could get together, but this will be a short up & back;
actually, only to Griffin, but what would that statement mean to
anyone in CA or NZ?  :-)

Oh yeah, I've forgotten the species of your big white dogs, but I
discovered that another of our long-time GMCers, in NC, has one.
Unfortunately, he hasn't used his GMC, nor visited here, in 3 years.
