You can keep that sort of weather...!! (or give it away, but not to me... [g]) Thankfully worst we've had is highs in the mid 80s... :) BM>>> It's 59ø this morning! (August 25th.)

NB>>> We're already seeing the early leaves turning.... but I'm still NB>>> expecting some regular summer to come round again... I don't NB>>> consider it Indian Summer until after the first full frost has NB>>> occurred... ;) So that shouldn't be all that soon yet... :) BM>> Has about twenty-five more degrees to go before hits freezing; here BM>> have had snow on Halloween and that's only two months away. This BM>> morning (Saturday August 31) it's 56ø and supposed to get close to BM>> 80ø with storms overnight. NB>> We've had snow for Halloween on occasion, also.. but not NB>> consistently... But there's no denying fall is on its way now... Not NB>> sure that summer has truly let go yet, though.... ;) BM> LIS at the start, we've got Summer back. Yup, as I said, this time of year summer is likely to come roaring back even if it gets cool for a while.... After all, the Equinox isn't until the 23rd this year... ;) BM> As for Halloween here, generally cool and sometimes cold enough one BM> has to figure out how to get the costumes over the coats. Or turn the coats into part of the costume... ;) It's also often wet here... puts a bit of a damper on things... ;) BM>> Usually no issues with banging doors but have had some pretty good BM>> breezes go through.

(Do have other windows in the house open.) And we often help it along with the window fan in that window blowing the air into the house... :) But mostly, yes, it's the idea that counts... ;) And fresh air does make a difference... :) BM>> It would seem if the obvious problem was with the radiator then BM>> correct that and see if the potential secondary problem (the head BM>> gasket issue) still is present.

BM> Knock on wood no problems with the cars here lately. Likewise here... although my clutch is trying to go now... so far I've been able to baby it along, but just in case, I'm renting a car for my trip to NC next week...
