We were headed out of our subdivision when we stopped to talk to a neighbor for a few minutes. As we sit there the BMW went pffff. A large bellow of smoke and steam came from under the hood. We jumped out and unbelievable the radiator blew a hole in the side. Tom (the neighbor) said he could help change it out. I have to say I was a little skeptical. The next morning with new radiator in hand the two started taking the car apart. Only 4 bolts, Tom said. They were unable to get one loose so Tom started taking the front of the car off. Even Jim was beginning to wonder. But, alas, he was good at what he was doing and they soon had the new radiator in place. I stayed close by for the test run, in case I had to rescue him. But, all was good. I guess Jim can always get a part time job at Goodyear when he retires if we need extra cash. Way to go guys!!!

I don't know why she is so surprised. For our first 8 years together she mostly talked to my feet sticking out from under my '57 and '54 chevy's or to my butt sticking out from under the hood (it was a lot cuter back then).
GoodYear does tires - maybe Sears will take him on - heehee
I am impressed with your blogging abilities here lately
Usually when Rick's done fixing a car or other do it yourself project we have parts left over that he swears weren't needed to begin with. Seriously, though I love it when he repairs things.
So... an aloe plant would be great. The only problem is that I don't think it would survive Utah weather.
