  I live in Vancouver, WA and have relatives in Cloverdale and Healdsburg. When I come I stay at the WorldMark in Windsor. I was driving down I-5 Sunday afternoon south of Redding when I heard a "whack" sound. I figured that it was a rock that hit something besides the windshield, since I didn't see a chip.
  
  I pulled into Corning which happened to be the next town and host of The Olive Pit where I wanted to stop. As I pulled up to the off-ramp stop I noticed some white smoke coming from the hood. However, I had just spilled some oil topping up in Anderson so I didn't think anything of it.
  
  I turned under the freeway and when I came to the light at the other end of the underpass, the engine would not slow to an idle. It kept revving up on its own. I looked at the gauges and noticed (thankfully) that the temperature was just below the red line.
  
  I turned into a parking lot and let the car cool off and then looked in the radiator.
  
  Dry. And it took an entire bottle from the parts store across the street -- lucky me -- to fill it.
  
  I looked under the hood and sat that it was dripping profusely but not a flood. So I drove 30 miles and refilled it. Drove 30 miles and refilled it. And so on to Windsor, about six fills later.
  
  I was in a world of hurt because I've gotta get back to Vancouver; I brought a bunch of technical stuff to do recording of my family.
  
  My nephew called Andrew at Capricorn and told him the story. He said, "bring it in", and a day later after several twists and turns, Andrew had identified the culprit hose and replaced it. He actually had to fabricate the hose because the car is a 1990 Acura, not something you see all the time nowadays.
  
  Thank you Andrew, very much.
