ROLL-IN AT THE PLEASANT HILL DINER

 This was our first time to the diner for a roll-in.  It was the first of the season for them and we were 11 cars/trucks strong!  Jesse was singing and we had a nice spot in the shade.

FIRST ROLL-IN OF THE SEASON! ~ VFW

 An 80 degree day with minimal wind and a chance to go to one of the larger roll-ins...sign us up!

MARY LOU OUT OF THE BARN

Later on Sunday Cindy and I used Mary Lou as a "grocery getter" 😀

THERMOSTAT ISSUE ~ BILL FIGURED IT OUT (FINGERS CROSSED)

 Bill spent quite a bit of time testing the cooling system to see why we were getting such a burst when the thermostat released.  We even bought a new thermostat but Bill tested the one that came with the car and it worked.  His solution was to drill three holes in the thermostat to allow constant flow.  He thinks we have it figured out but I will monitor the coolant level and keep an eye on things as the season unfolds.
