Sounds like you are a mom..

I'm the same way...when I was missing half a thyroid and on no meds for it..I was exhausted on the couch all day. it sucked. I;m too active for that. it seems to be in check but, my dr. changed it up because he doesnt want me to get there again. it can take 1-2 years to get a thyroid doseage right.

a question for rick (and anyone else that cares to post a solution):

i bought a used expansion tank for the 951. it clearly had oil mixed with the coolant and has a bit of residue inside it. i knew this before i bought, i was sent pictures. i have put dishwasher detergent in it and rinsed it out. this helped a little. i put isopropyl alcohol in there and let it sit. this helped a little.

what can i use to get it clean? do i need to worry about it?

update: i just sprayed some brake cleaner in there, which usually strips that kind of thing right off. no such luck. the residue is loose, i can rub it off with my finger. obviously the reach of my finger is very limited. i am just going to go with and plan on a full radiator flush later this summer. it is due, anyway.

Super Clean will eat any grease or oil. If the tank has any aluminum be careful with Super Clean. If it is all plastic Super Clean will clean it really super

This stuff:

The rain had stopped, and it's only a little dirty from the drive to meet the transporter. Can't wait to see her arrive in SoCal next week. I took a video on my iPhone, and if I can figure out how to grab screen shots tonight, I'll post a pic or two of her getting loaded on the truck.

She was in good company, with a 906 above and a 356 Speedster in front of her.

Evening Y'all. Had an interesting day today, an older fellow I work with came in this morning and decided to have a stroke in the shop. A seriously chicken chit way to get out of a bad job he had scheduled. (which I ended up with) When he gets out of the hospital I am gonna put him back in with a broken _________ (insert body part)
Pete, you are cold hearted, I love it
D gum cutter will clean that crap out then follow with break clean to remove the gum cutter
