Made it home with only one stop to refill the reservoir (and John you know what the 101 is like at 5PM).
Thanks to EEuroparts (site sponsor BTW) I was able to get the hose for $9.00 plus $35.00 for overnight shipping (wish I had something else to add to that order).
Put the hose on today and off to look at houses to move into... Almost to the house we are looking at renting and Check Coolant light comes on... WTF... Engine heat is very rapidly going up! OH NO.... Find a place to pull over (less than 1 block from the first house to look at) and it never got to RED. Dumb me did not get the hose clamp all the way over the end that attaches to the radiator (or at least that is what it looks like what happened). Off to Wally World to buy a pair of pliers (vice grips) and 3 gallons of premixed coolant (in the wife's car). Added almost 2 of the 3 gallons and drove back home no issue.
Tomorrow morning will be the real test... Surprise to Scottsdale via the 101 we shall see. I will be carrying the appropriate tools to ensure if it slips off again that I am prepared.
BTW found a very nice 5 bedroom 3000+ sq ft house in the arrowhead lakes area that we will be putting our application in for tomorrow.
