Congratulations Grandpa! What a beautiful baby. I'm going to be a grandmother in September. After three daughters, we'll finally have a little boy around the house. :D

well, a couple days after they started driving the car. a rad hose blew off while sitting in a drive tru, on a 100 degree day. easy fix. then we installed an electric fan on the front side ofd the radiator to help cool the engine. works great
then the clutch cable gave out.chris didnt want to fix it, so he had it towed to marks shop.turns out that while it was being towed incorrectlt the pan was smashed by the tow truck, now were waiting for the tow co to kick down some money 4 the repair.
