[AT] antifreeze

[rlgoss at twc.com]

I can relate to that childhood experience, Len, two buckets of water for the chickens--for balance.  We had a feisty rooster that took advantage of the fact that I was loaded down, and he would peck my heels as I walked across the chicken yard with those buckets.  One Sunday morning, I had had enough of his harassment, so I dropped both buckets, whirled around and kicked.  I happened to catch the rooster in his neck and broke it clean off.  We had chicken for lunch!

> Draining water.... that brings back the childhood memory of being too poor (or maybe had a bad radiator) to use antifreeze.  It was  my job to carry a bucket of water to the IH H, Dad would start it, then fill the radiator.  He would use it for the day, then drain it that evening.  
I remember how hard it was to carry one bucket of water, then I learned to carry 2 buckets at the same time, one for the chickens.  Balance is good.  I don't think I remember really how hard I probably worked as a kid, I just didn't know any different.

 If I have one that I don't know what is in it, and am just keeping it 
for parts, I will fill it with windshield washer fluid.  It is good to 
-20 and keeps the block from rusting.
