Back in the USSC (orvallis)
Just got back about an hour ago. Trip went without a hitch - the car made it ok. It is a good car so I'll be putting some work into it to make it better. Case is here with Belinda and all is right with the world - at least for a moment or two.

By the way, something happened to another item I posted just before the last one from Case. I prob messed it up.
Welcome back. Did you get a lot done in CA? How is the grass growing? Is that plum tree flowering?
thanks for working on my car, dad! did the radiator replacement go okay? hey, don't forget to click through that link to complete your flickr reg.
The radiator is working fine. No oil use on the trip - excellent for a 200K mile car. Once the radiator and engine system finally settled down, the car consumed no additional antifreeze either. Also, the power steering didn't leek too much - the trick is to not make sharp wheel-lock turns. That appears to be when the hydro-pressure is greatest and causes a leak somewhere. I also got at least 30 mpg during the trip, which is great for a 2.4 liter engine (2X the Justy's 1.2). I was only doing about 60 mph during the trip, but that just goes to show that slower speed really increase economy. Anyway, enough car talk.
Just noticed a typo - leek should be leak. Don't want my kids to think I can't spell.
