It was so mild here today that, after the lowly Redskins beat the Saints, I went down to the barn and put a new water pump on my '53 Commander. I was done, cleaned up and put away and out of the shower in an hour and 45 minutes. This included the four or five times I had to come back up my shop for something I forgot earlier. Piece of cake on that car. I had started it a couple weeks ago to move out so I could get my snowblower out (I get caught about every other year with the blower still inaccessible in the barn when we have 10 inches on the ground). The water pump was making so much noise that I was afraid to move the car for fear that the shaft would break and run the fan into my NOS (10 years ago) radiator. When I got the old pump off (about eight years old w/ only a couple hundred miles on it), I found that I had done something wrong when I put it on. Any guesses? Paul Johnson
