Gan,
you would have maintained your executive powers if you solved the riddle. 1/4 million, your trucks are worth much more than that, at least now you know how to find a 1/4 million $ repair man.
Actually it is an old but expensive piece of lab equipment manufactured in France, and I really depend on it for lots of work (so I can buy KXL shares). The manufacturer is bust so no service anywhere. Being French means that it is good but not very userfriendly or repair friendly. Three internal pipes plugged simultaneously because of some deposits, so yes I had to do a tripple by-pass, but as I said only after 2 stong ones
Yeh, I was pretty proud of myself, almost as proud as the time when I had to brake into my own safe after I busted the combination. It took about 25 drill bits, a bucket of cold water, gloves, dustmask and safety glasses. After 6 hrs of blood and sweat I was through.
