340 Overheat / Radiator Geyser

I'm thinking old car, old motor sitting awhile, spring in lower hose rotted and jamb in pump. Happen to me once. I knew the pump was the issue, so when I took the pump out, there was the spring, stuck in the prop. Crazier things have happened. This is my thought.
That is a total Mitch situation, BUT it is moving water. I'm taking a break for a while. Next steps are combustion gas test, then compression test. Literally crawling around in my storage unit yesterday resulted in not finding the compression tester though. I'm too angry to be wasting any more time on that car with all this other stuff going-on anyhow. Thanks.
#1 I don't drink, nor smoke, nor chase skirt.
#2 I'm married, and um; not now honey, can't you see I'm busy?
#3 notta chance do I want a scantily-clad young lady hanging around when I'm working, and there are no girly pictures on my walls.
#4 I'm 71, and those days are long behind me anyway, and even in my teens I could see that a barfly was a crapshoot. Just like all the Roman Catholic girls in high school.
#5 at our ages, the wife and me, we don't look good naked anymore, nor even scantily clad. I'm waiting for the Resurrection to get my new forever body.
#6 when I'm out in the shop, it's cuz I still/we still , like our alone time. That's how we stayed married these 47 plus years.
#7 I need all the exercise I can get, so the fridge is in the house, and I take breaks.
#8 We're both retired now, and I like to work an hour, maybe two, then break for an hour, or two; rinse and repeat, until around 9/10 Pm. The next Am, I start over. So I do get the hours in most days, but it's somewhat unorthodox, lol. Whatever I'm working at, it gets done when it gets done. Paying jobs get priority, cuz that's my spending money.
Your stuff is fun to read. I had a co-worker who slept with a woman, then some time later he encountered her at a wedding and it turned-out they were cousins.
