"The wife and I both have health problems, nothing major, but we have a really nice teen come over to do yard work. Last time he was here, he mentioned he had to walk into town as his mom’s car was overheating. This morning my wife picked him up to do some mowing and weeding. When he was done she asked if his mom’s car was running, to which he replied they hadn’t even tried to start it.

My wife asked if i would take him home and take a look at the car. I did so, and it was just a matter of low radiator fluid, but that mom had been afraid to mess something up. I filled the radiator and overflow tank, had them start the car, and hung out till the car warmed to operating temp. No biggie, but they were both so thrilled to have it running again, and be able to drive for groceries, it still has me happy hours later."

I am so happy about this."

"I love steak, but hated making it on the grill, because I could never get it right, at least not very often. Too much guess work involved.

I learned how to do a reverse sear, and it’s amazing how easy it is to get the perfect steak every time. Just had steak for lunch! It’s awesome!"
