And if I had a brother, I wish he were like Samuel.
Walt is right. The car is testing you. There's no doubt in my mind 
that you have the perseverance to beat it. Especially with Walt so 
close by to help out. I had to import labor from out of state. ;-)

Walt/Sameul, I only have one concern. 235F is far beyond the blown 
head gasket range. Any idea how long it ran that way? Before doing 
anything else, I'd drain the oil and inspect for coolant and check 
the coolant bottle for oil.

Hopefully it was only for a few minutes. I applaud Samuel for at 
least checking the gauge and catching it. If the headgaskets are 
still good then I'm betting I'll still be driving to Ft. Myers with 
Samuel.
