It was only about 75 degrees but real muggy.  I did have the AC on the whole
time.  It sort of makes sense that the temps would creep with the AC on and
no movement of air across the radiator.  Speaking of which, a few years back
when I needed a new radiator, I got a copper one.  Worked fine for a while
and through 7 or 8 track events.  Maybe it's clogged and/or just not so good
anymore.

I replaced the coolant entirely a week or two ago (and that's when I put the
temp sender in) and have bled the air twice since then.  I want to do it
again and, yes, I would like to add water wetter... 1.2 cap is easy enough.
Thanks for the kick in the rear to remind me to do that too :)
