It is a holdover from when I had a lower radiator hose leak that was deceivingly hard to find. I did finally get the time and traced it down, replaced the hose and the leak went away. I wanted something to soak up the antifreeze in case my dog was out there and tried to have a drink.
What did you do today?

I wish ethylene glycol wasn’t so dang tasty!
They do now use a bittering agent I think, but I am just old school!
I mix mine with Mountain Dew to kill that bitter taste. Try it !
You're a tough old bird!
You should mix up a large one today! lol
Call it a "Twowaxarita". The drink to die for.

Diverting away from this radiator / antifreeze talk.....
My lovely wife requested another piece of granite for an end table in our living room. So.... I've got this bigger piece that I'm cutting down to size, while my lovely wife helper is supervising. I'm right in the middle of a cut, and there is this insistent tapping on my shoulder. Now, you shouldn't just stop a cut in the middle as it can leave nasty marks which cause much more work later, so I finish the cut, and then ask. "What " ? She says.. there is a black widow right by your hand... I find it and smoosh it. But, I could have gotten bit by that nasty little critter.
I guess I better pay attention to that tapping on my shoulder.
I'll give you a pic of the granite in its current shape, just cut, no profile, no polish on the edges. (I like this color granite)

Wait for what???Just wait!
The next thing to break.
Because as Jeep people we know there will be a next thing to break!
Our 2019 GC has a bought and paid for “bumper to bumper” warranty from Chrysler and they want $675 to replace a two foot piece of weather strip that the double-sided adhesive tape let loose on one end. The warranty only covers mechanicals so this piece of trim is on me. Boy am glad I didn’t throw away that roll of thin clear double-sided tape!

All vehicles need repairs... Jeeps are no different... I used to be a mechanic many years ago and I do all the repairs on all mine and my families vehicles. I love fixing things...
A true "bumper to bumper" warranty should include EVERYTHING between the bumpers. I would fight this like hell!
Jeeps are different because I don't take other vehicles into places where my Jeep is comfortable going, places that can break things more readily than a paved road.
