The winds here were not as bad as they were projecting. BUT it came roaring through here just as Aiden and I left he hospital. Lasted about an hours, then settled down. A bit of thunderstorming, but nothing as bad as some other parts got. THANK GOD!
Had the jeep over to the guy who fixed it. He was looking it over, and he's come to the conclusion that I needed a new rad cap. He doesn't think the gasket is shot again, checked that the thermostat was working right, and wouldn't you know it, the freaking hour that it sat in his drive way running, with both our heads under the hood, it never overheated, lost water, started boiling over nothing... SO, I am parked over cardboard right now, he wants me to watch for leaks. He's really thinking it was the rad cap though. I hope he's right. I have put quite a bit of mulah into this jeep, really do not have the funds for a new car at the moment. I asked about an engine blockage, and he said that there was none that he could see when he had the tear down done. He did aske me what happened to the secondary fan though... Never had one since I have owned it. Apparently there is supposed to be one, there is even the mounting brackets still there. SO, he's going to try and pull one on monday, will direct wire it so it's on all the time and won't blow toggles. I'll be able to disconnect in the winter, if I am still driving it in the winter.
AND here comes the funny about the converstation we were having. Some how we got to talking about chickens. I really don't know how it came up, but it had to do with where I lived and what I did... Anyway, the guy is from Puerto Rico originally, and he said when he was growing up there, they had chickens, and he had yellow roosters that came as high as his knee, were big things, and had little chickens that looked like they were covered with cotton balls, but they had white skin, not black... And his favorite were the five toed birds. He asked if he could come by and see my birds, and I told him sure, I was easy to find, told him where I am, and he said, "I go by your house all the time! That's you?!" LOL. Anyway, I am just glad he got back to me and is willing to figure out the problem.
AS for AIDEN!!! OMG! If there wasn't a fiberglass cast on his arm, you'd never know he had a broken arm. LOL. He's only asked for motrin once today. Hand isn't swollen, and he's really quick at figuring out how to do stuff. lol
