Glad to hear your back on the road. I'm in the middle ( actually closer to the beginning) of changing head gasket too.

I live in Fort Wayne now. Still have family that lives in Elkhart and east of Edwardsburg on US 12 at 5 points. Theres something to be said for small towns. When I left there, Edwardsburg had 400 students in the high school. I moved to a school that had over 2000 students, what a change.
