The lower weep hole exists to allow fluid to collect or drain out of the water pump to protect the bearing integrity. In a horizontal centrifugal pump there is little space between the bearing and the seal so fluid build-up could potentially threaten the bearing.

Chimichurri is an herb-based condiment that is a culinary specialty of Argentina and Uruguay. Typically served alongside grilled steaks, roasted beef and pork sausages, it is made from parsley, dried oregano, garlic, salt and pepper in a base of olive oil and vinegar. Some versions add a pinch of hot pepper; others add chopped cilantro or a bit of chopped onion. The amount of garlic varies from a few cloves to a whole head. One of the best chimichurri sauces I have tasted is made by James Schenk at his pan-Latin San Francisco restaurant, Destino (1815 Market St.). Destino opened in 2000 and later expanded next door with Pisco bar and lounge.
