Thanks, Kev,

Yesterday, by the time we finished bleeding the brakes after John installed the new master cylinder, reinstalling the sidemounts, checking all the lights and instruments, and warming up the engine to check for leaks of any kind (absolutely none), made a couple of rivet repairs sediment rubbers, it was dark.

I didn't want to drive 60 miles at night, especially with no glass in the driver's door. All I need is a dry day to bring her home.

Suddenly, of course, we have a cold snap. It's actually snowing, light but cold. Tuesday is forecast to be another snow day.

We are sending the Sylphon thermostat from the old radiator off for rebuilding and the clock, too.
