    I think with age and all the expansion and contraction, things like that just happen. :notsure:

    And all the staff at my dental clinic... One cavity, filling removed and replaced last year with a 3D scan, CNC milled crown that was a snap fit, with a little cement (2-ton epoxy?) to make sure. Thermal expansion and contraction difference between metal and tooth started cracks 50-some years later. We agreed it must have been the shelling and impact of eating peanuts on that tooth while watching baseball games with Dad after I retired to work on ranch projects that needed my assistance. ("When I had time...") Where did I put that pocket calendar to keep track of all my "as long as you're retired, why don't you..." projects?
    Asking about a "70+" thread on TW was a big mistake! :sorry:

    Morning
    Finishing up minor stuff at mom’s place today for closing Friday.
    Been a horrible summer for me.
    If it wasn’t for bowling I’m sure I would have lost what little sanity I might have.
    No fishing
    No boating
    No Harley rides
    Everything is just sitting there.
    I hope I can get my mojo back after this weekend and at least get a little bit of use out of them.
    Grrrrrrrrr

    absolutely! Major concerns. But I was a couple hundred miles from home in the middle of a 3 day business trip in mid 90's temps. Aborting the trip and towing the vehicle would have cost major dollars - and fixed nothing. Local shops all gave me 'early next week' estimates...and I trust nearly no one.

    hence the triple flush after install.

    Watching the temp gauge like a hawk. So far so good.
