The time has come for me to say goodbye to an old, trusted friend: the Blazer. It needs a new head gasket, and it's worth the money nor the effort to get it fixed. The last time I drove it was back in the spring, and I couldn't go a mile without it overheating. And being the procrastinator that I am, I just didn't do anything about it. But a few weeks ago, The Old Man "strongly urged" me to get rid of it. I checked around, but couldn't find anyone interested. Flash forward to Monday. A neighbor's great-grandson called and said he's interested in it. Believe me when I tell you, if The Old Man could have physically done a cartwheel, he would have.
I explained about the overheating issue, and the fact that it has a new transmission with less than 300 miles on it, and that it hadn't been started since the spring, and he was still interested. As I type this, I have the battery charger on it, praying that it will start. I will try to start it in about an hour, and start or nor start, I'll the guy and tell him and see if he still wants it.
Stay tuned.
