Josh, Summer, Jerry and I drove up to the highest point in Rincon last week to have a traditional dinner with one of Jerry’s friends, Matty. She cooked us Pastellas, rice and beans and some pork. The dish is a traditional dinner and we really appreciated Jerry and Matty inviting us into their lives to check out the local cuisine.
On the way up there…the truck started running really hot. By the time we got to the top, I could hear the radiator boiling away and spewing out water. After we let it cool down and checked it out, we found a huge crack that allowed 3 streams of water to shoot out of it like a water gun. We filled it back up with water, coasted as much as possible to the bottom of the mountain and missed the the Radiator Guy (another one of Jerry’s friends) by 5 minutes. So, with a radiator spewing water and a drive to the airport one day away, we went to the gas station and bought some “radiator stuff.” It looked like little metal shavings in a plastic sheath. I had my doubts, but we poured two packages into the radiator and like magic, it stopped leaking.
Getting a new radiator or the old one repaired is on the “to do” list, but for now, she is running good again (knock on wood).
