alas, I have no ability to ffd through it. and I never know when it's going to shift from cartoony to gross. It is a sneaky show.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fan works but the air is cool. If I drive it long enough, longer than twenty minutes or so, the air gets a tad warmer.
Classic signs of a stuck thermostat. Does your car have a heat gauge? If so, does it stay "cool" even after you've driven it for a while?
If the thermostat is stuck, it means that the radiator fluid is being run through the radiator, even when it's cold enough that little or no fluid should be going through the radiator. As a result, the car runs too cool when it's cold out. And even when it's warm out, the car will take longer to reach normal operating temperature. (A thermostat can get stuck the other way, causing the car to overheat even when it's cold out.)
So I'm a little worried that the although the egg sealed the leak, it's screwing with my heater... somehow. Possible?
Probably not. Although I've never heard of the egg thing. There is stuff you can buy that seals radiator leaks - they probably do the same thing as the egg.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It went to emotional pathos, but was still pretty gross for most of it. And then it went all nip/tuck.
Any localistas want to do trivia in Santa Monica next week?

N/T question, was anything new revealed about the Carver?

Nope. Basic synopsis: No Matt, no Carver, no Kimber. Just Sean, Christian, Julia, her mother, Quentin and the anaesthetist. Kinda old school. Julia fires and dumps Quentin, and possibly gets her spine back. Or not--that could change based on the final scene.

I'm getting the pig!
If so, does it stay "cool" even after you've driven it for a while?
The gauge seems to reach mid-point in it's usual time but the air is still cool. I watch it quite a bit ever since the overheating incidents during the summer that led me to the radiator leak.
I'll still hope for a simple (i.e. cheap) fix this weekend when I take it in. Thanks for the help, tom!

Our wings are not tired.
Not what I want when the Caribbean cruise is 3 weeks away.
Ah, but what nice stories you will have to tell us if you and Hubs get abducted on your vacation. Just don't disappear altogether, ok?
I watched one GA early on and didn't like it. Perhaps this summer I will watch the whole season and see if it grows on me. I don't think it is my thing though. But I'm getting tempted.

Heee! Mr. H was watching the N/T episode. I heard his "OH MY GOD!" at the end.

Oh, Perkins--I'm glad to see the preview is attractive. I'm pretty biased, but it looks from the brief clip that Colin gets to exercise his goof. Which is good. Hopefully not too much goof, though.

Not unrelatedly, I love my car's seat heaters.
I always thought that was kind of out there, but I will never buy a car without them again. I use them all year round - espcially on long drives, they are freaking amazing for keeping you from ending up all stiff and tense. And when my back is bothering me they totally rock.
