darn looks like my stocking aint gonna have one.

just checked. takes too long (idling) to get above 192 in 43 degree weather. (pulled the cap, idled her for 1 minute, ran her at 2k for 2mins., checked the coolant level, no change, reinstalled the cap, let her continue to idle, got bored waiting. i shut her down at 192 after 10mins.).

Well, again this is just an impersonal forum and not real life. Your job and your boss are real. Just FYI.

Way to go man. I heard many years ago that we are judged more on what we do AFTER we make a mistake than when we mess up. Peace & best wishes!

11secondGP,
What you did took guts, plain and simple. And what I am sure as well is that others will do the same.
Spin,you said something that put it all together well for ALL of us. FORGIVENESS! Also, like many others I followed everthing and honestly felt for all sides at one time or another. One thing though is I hoped it would stop. This is great. And I hope it's not too sappy but really it's a great time of year to have this happen. Reminds us all that we are human and yes we can act nasty at times. Let's be honest we've ALL done it some time or another. Let's keep this goin' all year! NUFF SAID!
Everbody have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Fran

I do the same thing I even take their name out of the "to" line so it can't be accidentally sent.
