We were nice and warm last night at 20ºF and a slight breeze.
Say the words Snow and Flakes in Seattle and you can start a panic.
You would get less of a crowd if you dumped gold coins in the middle of the street.

Because I have to have residence in Argentina for the year to 18 months and I traveled on the first it'll be all tax free for the year, as long as the one refinery I've worked the last 8 years doesn't make me come there for 2 months.
Darn the bad luck, stuck in Bunos Aires till the weekend.
Got another appointment at immigration Friday. Hope it's early.

Another deep freeze tonight. My left rear door is still sticking. I think I've got some moisture in the locking mechanism and it's freezing up. Stuck on me this afternoon when I parked in the shade. Guess I need to get some grease into it soon...another weekend project.

The good news is that my rear heater core appears to be heating up hot-to-touch now, so if I get off my lazy *** and put the rear assembly back together enough for the blower to work I may at least have rear heat. The front is another story that I've still yet to dig behind the dash to look at. This cold is just not pleasant to be in long enough to get anything done.

Still no front heat? Hmmm, do you have a IR temp gun? I have one similar to below. I may go to the meet on the twentieth if you don't figure it out and we can see what it shows comparing my truck and your wagon. 
Do you have any coolant leaking? Boiling off? Wet carpet under the dash? Coolant pressure tester/tested?

My blower motor has a set of brushes that are on the way out.
I now have a mallet on the floor to whack it every now and then
when it won't start blowing. So Yes I know how it feels.

Neat technique, I will definitely try this out tomorrow before the Hawks game. Thanks!
I actually sort of makes sense that I might have an air pocket because I put the hammer down the other day and that created a ton of 'coolant flowing' noise behind the dash that was much louder than I'm used to. Fingers crossed, it would be nice it this worked haha
