I'm out on Valentines day and the surround time around it.

Allow me to explain.
Last year I was loading a 77 inch OLED Sony TV onto our van off our loading dock. My Partner pulled it a bit to fast before I could get my hand in the hand slot to carry it. It fell off the dock and I tried to catch it with the other hand and ripped my bicep clean off the bone, I had to have surgery and I was out of work for 6 months last year.

So this year , as a wire nut as most of you know but this time it was professional wiring. A guy on Facebook market place was selling an unused Dadario Mini Pedalboard wire kit. This allows you to build your own cables for your guitar pedal board . It's a solder less design which I already use them now. I have a full Dadario pedalboard wired with Dadario cables I built all myself . I don't need this kit but at the price he was selling a brand new un used kit was excellent and I was just going to go get it. Well I jumped in my SRT Durango which I don't drive daily just when I want to , I was on my way to meeting him and I saw smoke out the back of the truck mores than just cold weather exhaust. Then on the hood, it has a SRT hood with vents and there was smoke coming out the vents. So l was just about to pass Advanced Auto Parts store and I pulled into their parking lot to see what the hell, I didn't drive through a puddle or anything why is it smoking??

Well I Poppe the hood and there was antifreeze coming from the drivers side low to back of the engine area. I couldn't see the actual leak but it was enough to drain the coolant overflow tank. So I went into he Parts store, picked up ready to use coolant for Mopars and filled the overflow tank back up. I noticed the radiator cap was semi cool, which means no pressure. So I opened it and it was low there 2. So I filled it with the remaining coolant I had in the gallon and closed it up. Started the truck and still couldn't find the leak but it was leaking. So I turned it off. Called for a tow truck and had it flat bedded to my dealership.

In the meantime I called the guy who I was trying to buy the cable kit from and explained why I wasn't coming.

I have a 7year 100k mile warranty from Dodge and another overlapping warranty to cover Anything the Dodge warranty doesn't . So I don't have to pay for the repairs but I did have to pay fro the towing , cost me $200 bucks $180 plus I tipped the driver $20 for taking such care of my Truck. He said he transports a lot of high end cars and using cloth straps and even onto hooks , they have these covers so they don't scratch anything even on the suspension or underside of the vehicle. They do a lot of classics as well and he knows how car guys are with their cars and they take extra care when towing or transporting anyones ride. I really appreciated that so I gave him a nice tip. It was only a 15 minute ride to the dealership and even there, he took really good care of my ride putting it into a spot where I wasn't going to get a door ding . That's pretty damn good.

But this is the second time I had something bad go on around or on Valentines day so I told my wife next year I'm staying home, don't bother to decorate the house, we are not celebrating the day and I'm staying out of harms way the best I can.

Feeling lonely? Need someone to talk too? Long COVID anxiety kicking in again? Off the meds?

I have left you alone for quite some time, but really? Is this becoming the Days of Our Lives or what?

Post after post.....eh, never mind. My guess is that you prefer quantity over quality posts. My apologies for being so direct Dan, but dang.

Touting belongings and generosity, while at the same time, offering tales of woe....apparently trying to garner sympathy...for what? What is it that you are seeking here? There has been an uptick of posts by you and...

Eh, never mind. I shouldn't have posted this. But then again? Awe heck. I'm gonna have a date with the pillow, next to my wife and sleep perfectly fine. Carry on with whatever it is you are trying to accomplish. Who knows, maybe I am violating some sort of ADA rule.

I doubt the engine has two water pumps (like one on the backside of the engine) so my guess is its the heater core/hose?

Or maybe if it has a coolant pipe that runs in the valley (in-between both banks) under the intake manifold, it could have cracked or had an o-ring fail.

Let us know the skinny.
