Well I guess fixed is too strong of a word, the correct word would be "bypassed". The car had a failed heater core and it was going to cost around $300 to replace the core. Since we will only have this car for a few more months, I did not think it was cost effective to spend that much money on a car we will be getting rid of shortly. So we went the "bypass the heater core route" which was much cheaper. The total came to $75.45: $60 for labour, $1.99 for the part, $4.20 for shop supplies, and $9.26 tax. So yes, it cost $75 to install a $2 part.
Good day!
This will be a collection of my musings - when I have some. Although ramblings might be a better description. Whatever happened during my day will most likely be logged here.

About me: I am a baby-boomer who is now in his second career after spending 10 years in the military. I now work in the computer field, which also happens to be one of my hobbies. I also like to sing, play the guitar to accompany my singing, and play the piano when I practice (which is pretty much never these days)
