Glad to hear you're up & running Dan.  My car was in FL for a couple of
years I think and my heat works just enough for comfort.  I'm not ready to
spend $1000+ but it's god to know what to do when it goes.  Are you still
interested in a brake job get together when it gets warmer?  I'm gonna try
and stretch mine if you're serious.

Went skiing in Utah for a couple of days.  It was great.  Just had to tell
someone.  Glad your warm & toasty.
