My dad is a Mechanic and I saw him many times in the throws of fixing a head gasket on someone's engine. I kinda wish he was well though, because he was a very dedicated and reputable Mechanic in his day. These Mechanics these days....? PHEW! Be thankful you have your "baby" in the hands of someone you know and can trust!...And thanks for the complement on my flowers!! Too bad I can't teach you how to connect your crocheted chain so you can make something! :-) But yeah, you'll be alright just sticking to jewelry! :-)PoetessWughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05269054577952128702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593446012269283473.post-67984571750754696762011-03-27T12:43:30.955-07:002011-03-27T12:43:30.955-07:00Ah, the joys of car ownership!

Just recently went through a similar situation with mine-head gasket needed replacing and because of the way the car is put together, the car maker recommends replacing the water pump at the same time, so $1400 later... Fortunately for us, the garage we deal with is very reputable and we have never had an issue with them. Besides, these were original parts and the vehicle is pushing 10 years old.<br />Love the flowers! I can sort of crochet a long chain and that's it. Not my strong suit I guess-I'll stick to jewelry! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033554741565921836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593446012269283473.post-18972187528021634882011-03-27T04:18:44.534-07:002011-03-27T04:18:44.534-07:00Mimi, Thank you very much!

I have to take breaks. They're worth it when I'm done though!...I'm glad you're feeling better and able to enjoy the weather too.
