It always sounds a bit dangerous down there (Shining Path), etc. We also have a local connection to "El Enigma de la Mariposa," or "The Mystery of the Butterfly." > > > > Don R100, A6F > > > > --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, Mark Harfenist wrote: > > > > > > Actually water is at its most dense at that temperature. Water is at its "largest" as steam, which is what made a lot of things possible back in the day. This aside, water is far "larger" as ice than as liquid: about 10%. That's why icebergs float with 10% (more or less) out of the water: they're 10% less dense. > > > > > > I've oversimplified horribly, of course, as is my wont. > > > > > > All of this doesn't alter the fact that, in the absence of really and truly compelling reasons to do otherwise, 50/50 antifreeze/water mix is a good idea for a wide variety of reasons. > > > > > > Mark > > > > > > (From Peru, where my road-weary KLR has survived multiple trips over 13 and now 14,000 feet without notable incident.
