Rad. I remember looking at your rad plug. It looked like it was broken inside. Hell of a job to get that one out. Might not be worth it. Pull the hoes to drain. To flush, just stick a water hose in the small rubber hose that attaches to the tube that goes along the head, That way you flush the heater core with the block.

I boarded an airplane one time in Houston and it was 76F (24C) here and landed in Billings Montana and it was -50F (-45C) and there is no way I could ever get used to that! Did it once, that will be the last. Even -30C (-22F) is so cold it's not something I could live in. Zero, you went in that without a coat..what were you thinking? Even with my insulation AND a coat, I wouldn't go out in that! It's about 65 F (18C) here today...just about as cold as I want!

LOL 18C = "Cold"

I'd be out washing my car in a pair of shorts and flip flops, sans shirt! :P

took it to my mechanic last year after you saw it and he said he had to run it for a good half hour to get it up to a temp that would pop out the plug to drain the coolant.. but it worked eventually..

does that sound like the right plug you're talking about?

I remember you having to remove the lower rad hose to drain it out at the time...

Ya, didn't want to screw with it at the time without replacement parts. Bottom,drivers side corner. Did he replace it with the correct one?

18c . Nice temp. Wait till spring here. The kids, college, in spring, at that temp are out in full force, shorts and tee shirts.

Haha it wasn't _that_ cold ;)
It is just something you get used to. Unless I am sick and have a high fever I don't mind the cold that much. If I am sick then even -5*C is painful, like right now I am really sick and even though the temps are right around freezing I always feel cold.

Maybe this is related to that time outside without a jacket? :P
Just kidding, we all know that is an urban legend, the cold does not make you sick, just sicker, you have to be sick in the first place.
