On Sunday, Jan 1, I had spent some time with a fellow forum member 80 Lebaron Coupe (Mike) to help remove and load pickup' worth of pickup parts that he carried home in his pickup (um, did I say that correctly?).
That pickup (thread '84 5th Ave - Parts ) is now just about striped down to a frame . . .
Monday was a day off of work (holiday), so I spent time (½ a day) with wife getting Christmas ornaments on sale. I then spent the other ¾th a day (yes it was 5/4ths of a day, that day) changing the leaking heater core in my '77 wagon.
If you have been following Justwondering rodent problem – well guess what. She shoo'ed 'em my way (not picking on you – for I doubt the rodents would cross the Red River).
Both Sunday and Monday were both very nice days for January here.
Wednesday, I took a day off of work to drive from Oklahoma City to Waco, to pickup my kids (who spent the week in Corpus Christi with friends).
In route I spent some time with Justwondering and her husband for breakfast.
I left Oklahoma City with temp at 19' F and about a 25 MPH wind from the South (more or less pushed me there) and happy to report the heater core on the wagon is working fine.
Guess what, I think the two of us (Justwondering and I) made a new first. The June Car of the Month and July Car of the Month (2016), both located in one location, for a quick photo! The wind chill was rather bone rattling to stay outside for very long, or we could have gotten a better backdrop.
I also got a picture of Justwondering, but don't have her permission to post it . . .
(not that it matters, she had her back turned and all you see is back of her coat).
While waiting for breakfast to arrive, she whipped out some crisp 1 dollar bills and made these:
Then gave a pair of them to my kids (didn't have the kids yet), but do have pictures of kids with them
Note: this was in a McDonalds parking lot - but doesn't look like it.
When in Waco, I got a tank load of ethanol. What a mistake for the wagon ran like a dog on the drive home. Can't wait to put in a tank of 100% gas and see if car will like me again.
First long drive in the wagon and trip went well (except for the fuel).
