Photo of unknown origin. Interested? It can be yours.

I'm cleaning up "stuff" in my shop and ran across this photo. I have no idea of the source, don't recall anything about why I have it. If it's meaningful to someone, just offer to pay the postage via PayPal and it's yours!

Re: Drain antifreeze and replace with distilled water for summer?

.......and NEVER use just distilled water. Distilled water is very corrosive, the natural chemicals are stripped away when the water is distilled and it becomes very corrosive, trying to pull in nearly any metal it can, hence it's very corrosive.

I don't have time to double check this (heading out to Chickasha in a few hours), but in my mind, the parking lot Bell Terrace entrance is on the NORTH side of the fairgrounds, not the south side, Ming Ave is on the south side. Can anyone confirm this?
