It was appropriately titled. I spent most of the day removing repairing and reinstalling the radiator on L's 93 Chevy Corsica. I really don't like working on modern cars all that much, they just have too much crap crowded into too small a space.
The radiator had a major leak, and we had tried various stopleak kinds of stuff, none of which did any good, so I had to remove the radiator to get to the area too repair it. JB weld, while not man's best friend (that would be duct tape), is probably second for guys that work on beaters.
Choice: $200 for a new radiator, or $4 for some JB weld Now if you are talking a newer car, go for the radiator. But with a beater that will maybe last another year, Go with the JB weld.
We went to see Keiko Matsui at Jazz Alley on Saturday Night. She is so passionate about her music, and a very dynamic performer. The members of her band are also inspired, but the percussionist is a show all by himself. We bought her latest CD "Moyo" which means hear or soul in Swahili. She played a lot of the songs during her performance, but I haven't had time to sit down and listen to the whole thing yet.
I had to come back to work to rest up from the Holliday.

Sucks when you have to actually labor on Labor Day doesn't it?
PQ: I took off long enough to break out the BBQ and burn some steaks and chicken. That and L. gave me about a half a bottle of Patron Silver tequila. I took a taste, and that is some prime sippin' stuff
Ooo....Patron is the good stuff! :)
