Find Green's coolant leak party!

Thinkin bout maybe March 12th-13th. I kin make chili or pizza. Not sure where. My driveway offers little protection from bad weather. Maybe my Brothers place out east of Andover or I'm open for offers.

Maybe thats just the overflow area???

On my '88 F250,the PO used fish tank air tubing and a gallon milk jug as the overflow tank... Anything is possible.

I miss that ol' truck....

MMm, dump in some bars leak in it. It fixed a leaky head gasket on my 89 Bronco II I had. Flushed radiator because it looked dirty then the next thing you know its smoking to beat the band. Dumped some bars leak in it and presto the water looked dirty again and the smoking stopped after a couple hundred miles.

I think there might could be a good chance that I could be there on Saturday, but will likely have two little girls in tow.

Unless I have trouble getting back from Nashville, I plan on fixin lunch for everyone. I kin do a big ole pot o road kill chili ur pizza. So what do folks want? Ifin ya want pizza I make it from a box. I add hot water to the dough mix and hand make them. Most likely on cookie sheets. Add sauce, the dry cheese that comes in the box, and then toppings. So I need ta know if ya want toppings and what kind. Anchovie? Jalapino's? Pineapple? Artic choke? Cali mari? Egg Planty? I cook um fer 10 minutes then take um out and cover with mozzarella cheese. Cook another 10 minutes. Then let it set fer 5 minutes so's it kin be cut. Ifin ya don't wait the cheeze runs back tee gather an ya have ta cut it again.

Chili will have flour tortias, chedar cheese, onion, corn chips, an beans on the side.

Ur ifin folks would rather I kin buy ya lunch at some eatin house.

Probably won't make it to help Jack, but cheese, anchovie and sour kraut makes the wife's favorite pizza.

Gambino's used to have a "german pie" pizza that was sour kraut and ham for toppings.

My sister loves Hawaiian (ham and pineapple). I like pepperoni but Godfathers clasic combo is really good. When I make it in the dotch ovens at camp I like to do pepperoni, canadian bacon amd sausage. Just made a couple and took pics for an article I'm writing for Larry's news letter.

If I kin git some help from Cali I was gonna make a ginger bread house fer dee sert.
