Hoping a hose as I just dropped a bunch on it two weeks ago for the whole timing belt/kit and new a/c compressor.

Most likely something they took loose during that repair that wasn't secured properly.

That's what I'm hoping... It's still been less expensive than a new car.

How long did you stay awake after you finished the beer?  LOL.

About an hour or two. I shared with my better half.

MIL is much better. Thank you for all your prayers. They transfused 2 units of blood to get her blood count up. She has pneumonia in one lung, they are treating her with antibiotics. I think this is the best outcome we can expect at 98 years young.

I think they vary the recipe from year to year.  i don't remember past years tasting so much like molasses.  Some years it has a cinnamon taste.

Turned out to be the radiator... my wife is suspicious, but this shop has a good reputation. Only another $317... ☹️

98....that's wonderful. Most life insurance policies pay out when you hit 100.

Playing to a tough crowd this Holiday weekend - jumpin’ all over a poor old retired guy. Where is the shame —

If I had Carl’s taste in fine drinking and exotic cars I’d still be workin’ the hard 40 —. Alas, I’m a simple man of simple means —

fixed it for ya.

My sis had a suburu. Loved it. Then it started overheating. After multiple trips to her [shadetree or ???. I dunno] mechanic, she ended up buying another car. Think they finally decided it was a cracked block. My SIL [in Tucson] is going thru the same bs. Same result. New car.

Hope yours works out differently.

 

Need to get out/off the property. House call. Friend's wife has cancer. Not a good prognosis.. Trying to help her and keep his feet under him. They just married in Sept.

Poor old retired guy had to sell off his luxury sports car! Don't worry, word on the street is that he is getting an electric truck thats just as fast (may be ugly, but fast)
