Have been swamped with both work and car troubles...you know that thermostat? Was taking off the thermostat housing on Saturday and the bolt broke off. Fortunately it left about a 1/4 inch above the surface. Best bet is to heat it up and release it-anyone got an oxy-acetylene torch? Checked one out at NAPA on the way home from Mass this morning: $800 to get me started.
There is a machine shop/welder right outside of town who should have a torch...but I can't get it touch with him. So I talked to the one-man shop down town. I've only been to him for advice before-he stopped by the house a couple times too (Jehovah Witness). He doesn't have a torch but thinks he can get the bolt out.
We have pictures (some older) as the kids got some film developed too. Later tonight (Number 2 son's birthday today) I may have time to put some up.
Oremus pro invicem!
