Subj : Minced Garlic To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Fri Sep 20 2019 09:02:00 Hi Nancy! NB>> Back up at the Pond... replying Sat 7 September at about 8:30pm.... BM> Downloaded on this end five days later. NB> After all, I only uploaded the packet containing it on the 11th. :) So that seems about right. BM> ..Summer is back: 71ø when I woke up this morning; high supposed to BM> be low 90's, heat indices close to 100ø with potential severe storms BM> starting late this afternoon. NB> You can keep that sort of weather...!! (or give it away, but not NB> to me... [g]) Thankfully worst we've had is highs in the mid NB> 80s... :) Well the good news is the feels-like part is cooler: only upper 80's/ lower 90's. 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. NB> Yup, as I said, this time of year summer is likely to come NB> roaring back even if it gets cool for a while.... After all, the NB> Equinox isn't until the 23rd this year... ;) The things will even out. 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. NB> Or turn the coats into part of the costume... ;) It's also often NB> wet here... puts a bit of a damper on things... ;) (Pun fest!) ...Autumn hasn't mentioned anything about Halloween - that's a l-o-n-g time away! BM>> Usually no issues with banging doors but have had some pretty good BM>> breezes go through. Then there are times when the windows are open BM>> but there's nothing going through the screens. (They're just normal BM>> window screens.) NB>> The window we open is on the north side of the house, so rarely any NB>> stiff breezes coming through that one... ;) BM> It's the idea that counts! "I've got the window open, so fresh air BM> comin' in!" The room where we usually watch television has east and BM> south windows; usually get a bit of a breeze -- curtain flutters -- BM> but sometimes zero breeze and occasionally a really-blowing-those- BM> curtains "gale". (Do have other windows in the house open.) NB> And we often help it along with the window fan in that window NB> blowing the air into the house... :) But mostly, yes, it's the NB> idea that counts... ;) And fresh air does make a difference... NB> :) Downstairs (the first floor) we've never done window fan; couple of the rooms have a ceiling fan but that doesn't pull air in from outside. Do have a window fan up here. 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. Probably a good idea to advise of the BM>> second potential issue to prepare the customer, but not go for the BM>> major repair right away. NB>> I wasn't even in the shop for the radiator repair... we were getting NB>> that done at a radiator shop in the neighborhood... As I recall, the NB>> radiator was on order.... this might have been an inspection or some NB>> such... But, we agreed that the radiator repair should be done first NB>> before even worrying about the supposed (and probably bogus) major NB>> repair... :) BM> Yes, generally taking care of the obvious problem first is best! BM> Knock on wood no problems with the cars here lately. NB> Likewise here... although my clutch is trying to go now... so far NB> I've been able to baby it along, but just in case, I'm renting a NB> car for my trip to NC next week... Otherwise, any problems were NB> caused externally (the deer, the flat tire)... Probably a wise move to rent a car to avoid the possibility of being stranded and inconvenienced. I know nothing about manual transmissions other than push in and move the lever around. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
