Thanks, but not now. I have too many other unfinished projects. My sister and brother in law own two auto parts stores, and I am invested in them. I normally get my parts thru the stores. One on Martha's Vineyard and one on Nantucket. Being invested in the stores allows me to take off quite a few of my expenses when I go to the islands on vacation.

Thankfully its been misting all day. Its only 60 ºF right now. Last night I got home from a nice ride down the coast, and it was only about 62 ºF. Had to wear my jacket, but I roughed it without any gloves.

Ron - have you tried letting the car idle for a long time over a spread of newspapers under the motor? I found a leak that way. Without the wind, you can pinpoint the general area quickly. Mine was the seal at the back of engine between intake and block on an older Chebby I owned. I took off the intake and the oil pan. There was so much gunk inside, I towed it to the local self-car wash and cleaned the engine without the intake or oil pan. What a mess. But it ran without leak after I put in back together. What a $hitbox it was - 70 Impala convert.

Four O'clock - seeing as its too wet for a ride, I guess I'll do some food shopping. They predict up to 4 inches of rain tonight. But about a week of nice sunny days after that.

Maybe I'll paint my new front porch screen windows tomorrow and get them installed before it snows. As long as I beat Tru with his deck, I'm OK
