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.
Exactly! I had a grandfather who was much the same. He didn't suffer fools gladly! :laugh:

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..."

anyone who brings their grandson to the vintage challenge without a sled deserves to be called GRUMPY !!!!!!!

a lot of knowledge about those liquidators. thank you again Kenny.
