Easter Weekend and Spring Break

This last weekend we stayed with Leslie's parents in PDX. We had a great time with our family and got to play with our niece and nephew. We had home made soups breads and desserts compliments of my mother-in-law.
I spent most of the weekend taking apart the instrument panel, then the radio, then the steering column and eventually the whole dash and a crossbeam of the frame to replace a heater core in our car. Only after 10 hours of this was I able to find the part the auto shop sold me was the wrong size. I tried to explain that they had sold me the wrong part but they insisted that their system said this one would work. It did not. So my brother-in-law helped by melting the plastic case the core fit in and I jammed it into place and screwed it down. When in doubt, use more power.

We hope you are doing well and if you are in Corvallis this weekend we are having a work party to get the house ready to sell.

Hope all is well and for those of you who have been trying to reach Leslie, she has a new phone so she should be able to get your calls.

TTFN.
