    When I left Gene I was only a mile from Lila's place. That's when I noticed the coolant spewing all over my carpet. I started by soaking it all up after releasing the pressure in the radiator. I then bypassed the heater core by pulling the hose off the heat choke valve (my Weber choke uses hot water like the base-plate originally did from Ford) and looped it back to the water pump fitting. Then I pushed plain water through the heater core so any more dripping, if any, would be water. I drove the final 30 miles home without issue. Another day-in-the-life...

    Aww... I just didn't have enough to do. I was running out of things for my to-do list.

    Columbia chapter has those records. I'd say, at best, maybe 25 individual cars came and went. Some came and stayed only a short time. At one point I counted only 20 cars at about 11:30. There were few cars from the north or east. The southernest car was from near Grants Pass, Oregon and won the long-distance prize we submitted.
