Block grinder for my son, that is. A little background. At 33 he's very accomplished in his field. We're very proud of course, but when he asked me for a grinder (for sharpening his mower blade) and a vise I had to asked who he was and what he'd done with my son! You see, his field is vision...

I remember that 'regular' antifreeze has a sweet smell. My wife said like maple syrup. That was 10 miles before the windshield fogged over at 50 mph 15 years ago. LOL But what about Dex-Cool antifreeze? Does it have a distinctive smell? My 2013 GMC Sierra has an order once the engine is up to...

I'm off to visit my son and his wife in the Twin Cities in about a week. It will be a good time, they enjoy showing me all the great places they love to dine at. They are still in that post-college graduation phase (although he is 30) where they are big on quality for the money. It's rather...
