    '73- Thanks! Well AC started blowing warm again the other day, seems like there was.a blockage at the Expansion Block.

    Thanks! I was more bummed about missing the show than my car to be completely honest and transparent! Back was wrecked the next morning, but went to the doc the next day then again last week, everything looks fine, just a really good muscle pull. Feel fine now, back to flinging myself on and...
