Exactly! I had a grandfather who was much the same. He didn't suffer fools gladly!I know for a fact that Kenny can be EXTREMELY helpful and giving as long as you aren't doing something stupid, such as ignoring good advice.
Some may wonder why they call me Grumpy??

Kenny is top notch in my book. I can understand why he is called grumpy. From what I can tell he has no tolerance for BS and he is old school. Nothing wrong with that.
Old sleds are hours of entertainment.... then you get to ride them for a little bit.

No doubt Grumpy is big softy under it all. He will be all gruff one moment and then a big teddy bear when Cari Deerest talks to him.
I don't know if I was first, but I started calling him "Grumpy" some years ago due to his 4 word voice mails:
"Joe!...Kenny!...Call me..."
Later Liquidator,

Re: Some may wonder why they call me Grumpy??
anyone who brings their grandson to the vintage challenge without a sled deserves to be called GRUMPY !!!!!!!
I was honored to have given Tucker a sled to ride,I also gained a friend who I have the upmost respect for and who also gave me
a lot of knowledge about those liquidators. thank you again Kenny.
