    Put hose clamps around each end of the tube going from the reservoir to the radiator . The coolant is coming out from the ends of the hoses , you can see the line of coolant coming down the tank in your pictures if you look close . I have the same problem , it’s coming out from around the hoses

    So it's not serious enough to cause overheating, at least not yet...?

    It wouldn't hurt to replace your radiator cap every couple of years too. When the seal and spring in there gets week, you can lose a little coolant from it.

    I didn't even bother to go in the backyard until our last day here...

    The house came with literally everything...

    This EZ GO electric golf cart has been sitting here for about a decade and needs new batteries...

    Apparently it costs more to replace the batteries than it does to get a new golf cart!

    Really? My friend's younger sister was saying that it would be cheaper to buy a new golf cart...

    Shows how much she knows...

    But still, it's been exposed to the harsh mountain weather for about a decade, and there might be other damage due to sitting so long in extreme conditions...

    So add some extra hose clamps to the rubber tubes coming out of the reservoir? Should I just get those from Home Cheapo?

    We were supposed to go to Aquatopia at the Camelback Resort on January 6th, but we overlooked one little detail...

    Actually it was quite a significant detail!

    We took the Altima and the Forester, and drove thirty minutes to Tannersville. These pictures were all taken before we found out at the ticket counter that all tickets had been sold out! In order to give priority access to actual hotel guests, tickets for people who aren't staying at the hotel are limited to a certain number per day. When it's in the single digits outside, wouldn't you love to be at an indoor water park?

    These are some pictures I took of Aquatopia, specifically the FLOWRIDER surfing simulator, from the hotel lobby after we found out we'd have to come back on Sunday...

    There's a restaurant and brewery called Barley Creek like a mile or so from the Camelback resort, so we stopped there for lunch before driving 30 minutes back to the house...

    I ordered a flight of beer as I always do at breweries, and decided on a Meatlover's pizza for lunch...

    IMG_3992.jpg IMG_3998.jpg


    I got a free souvenir shot glass for ordering a flight...

    Truer words have never been spoken!

    My friend and my other friend's sister both needed gas, so we stopped at a Gulf station a couple miles from the house...

    I found this long-decommissioned relic on the property!

    One of my friends whose birthday we were celebrating is an aspiring baker. Of course he made the cake...
