Don't I remember you saying you served with the Marines?
And your grandson has followed you?

Yes and yes. My grandson is an jet engine mechanic stationed at Cherry Point North Carolina. He's home on leave at present and were trying to get the 66 Mustang road worthy so he can drive it to N. C.

That is awesome and please tell him thank you from us for his service!

I think one of the best things I did for my brother was get his 92 Ford put back together so he could take it back to Cali when he was home on leave once. I think that thing kept him going.

Just got back St Jude e.r. got in knife fight with a butterball and the turkey won the first round. Got 5 stitches in my finger. B got home and put him in the oven at 350 f. who say's revenge isn't nice and juicie

"Revenge is a dish best served cold"

As in turkey sandwiches tomorrow!

Happy thanksgiving

i dont think i walked the floor as much when my son was being born .. the iron bowl will be on in a bit ..BAMA and that other team ... Ohio and Michigan i will watch off and on though i dont care who wins .. i wish they both could lose ..

i have`nt worked on anything newer than my 1978 truck in the last 20 years .. my 2009 toyota has the same coolant it came with .. i figured it was time to change it .. it checked to be good at 10 above .. it wont get much colder than that in bama but one needs to be safe .. so i drain out and capture one gallon of coolant so as to know for sure my mixture ratio and get a zero or below freeze protection .. i get the gallon out and proceed to fill it back up and only about a Quart and a half goes in ..i`m waiting for the system to burp or open or whatever it needs to do to get the rest of the coolant in .. i notice my heater is blowing cold air and my temp gauge is bouncing off the hot side .. it took me a half hour of pouring in about 3 ounces at a time to finally get the system full .. am i missing something ? is one supposed to fill newer cars with pressurized coolant ?

Check the vehicles maintenance manual

Have you checked any of the coolant tubes, thermostat housing, or water pump area for a bleeding valve?

HA !!! if all else fails read the instructions ... you know a manly man will not do that ...

as i am unemployed at the moment i am bored out of my mind and spend 6 or more hours a day running thru the few web sites i belong to .. i`m on a couple of car sites besides here .. i`m on MSN news as they seem to lie the least .. and that`s about it .. i greatly enjoyed citydata.com briefly but the moderators there are bullies and the whole site itself is too liberal ( liberal ..is that how you say hillary supporters ? ) .. what other sites do some of you go to while your not here ? and dont include HAMB ....

Drudge report, Brietbart, zero hedge, RT, goldseek.

If you want real news, go to the alternate news sites.

Five major corporations own and control ALL current news media. The media have lost the ability to research stories, and report without bias.

after being out of work for 6 months now i`m getting really bored .. in my job search i have found an assembly job at a local hardware store that i will inquire about .. putting together wheelbarrows and barbecue grills and another job at a Hot Rod shop near me .. i had never known the Hot Rod shop was around ..they are asking for a person who can attach body panels / fabricate piece parts / prep and do body work for final finish / do all mechanicals associated with restoration ... must have two years experience ... two years ... i have been building cars for 40 years and i dont think i could get a job there ..

You'll never know if you don't try.....

Hang in there and realize you've got friends, we are here to help!
