Wife says time for new engine

[tdangle]

Today went out to the nursery with the wife. Mind you she avoids riding in my truck at all costs, but lately is starting to not complain as much. Figures, 1/2 mile from home truck blows out a freeze plug in the front of the block. Come to find out, my dad had put one of those rubber expanding jobs in and it let loose.

Got it back together with a brass one and all is OK.

Now she says, I think you need a new engine. Now I need to look into if I can really afford the one I want.
