GM Low Coolant Light Flashing Guide

If the “Low Coolant” light is illuminated or intermittently flashing on your General Motors vehicle, you may need to clean or replace the radiator’s coolant level sensor. My 2001 GM Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, equipped with the 3800 Series II 3.8L V6 S/C engine, has had the “Low Coolant” light flashing on and off for the last few weeks.

Yu-Mi Sushi Review – West Palm Beach, FL

I joined some friends for dinner last night at the Yu-Mi Sushi Japanese Restaurant & Cafe located at 2800 North Military Trail in West Palm Beach, FL 33409.

We ordered a sushi “boat” platter for two people with a variety of sushi rolls and sashimi (fresh raw fish pieces) to share amongst the three of us at a cost of about $40. I really enjoyed all of the selections on the platter, with the crunchy tempura roll being everyone’s favorite. The tuna, salmon, and other sashimi pieces tasted very fresh and were perfect bite sized pieces.

For dessert, we ordered the Tempura Ice Cream and Tempura Banana. Both are fried and served with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It goes without saying that they disappeared from the table quickly.

The total cost of the meal was $54 which was reduced by using a $30 South Florida Dines certificate that cost $15 to purchase.

Overall, we really enjoyed the experience and I would recommend the Yu-Mi Sushi Japanese Restaurant & Cafe to other sushi lovers in the West Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Greenacres, or Palm Beach Gardens area.

Big Flats Beer Review – $2.99 / 6 Pack @ Walgreens

Just like many of you, I saw the Colbert Report episode where Stephen discussed the new private label beer that the Walgreens company just released named “Big Flats 1901” which is priced at $2.99 for a 6 pack.

That’s an incredible value at just $0.50 per 12 ounce can of beer. I couldn’t resist picking up a six pack  of Big Flats to sample the budget brew while purchasing a few other types of beer for a Super Bowl party.

The beer options at the Super Bowl party included Samuel Adams Boston Lager, Coors Light, Michelob Ultra, Big Flats 1901 and Bud Light. Surprisingly, the six pack of Big Flats 1901 was consumed by the thirsty football fans in a matter of minutes.

I’m sure that sheer curiosity helped eliminate this beer from the fridge.  I heard no complaints, and some comments of disbelief at the low price.

Poured into a chilled glass, the Big Flats 1901 looks similar to any other light lager beer with a golden hue, a rich foamy head, and effervescent bubbles. I’m not a beer snob or connoisseur, so to my unrefined palette it tastes similar to other popular beers that you would commonly find being consumed out of kegs or at bars such as Bud Light, Coors Light, Michelob Light, Milwaukee’s Best, Busch Natural Light, and Pabst Blue Ribbon. The alcohol content of Big Flats 1901 is also very similar to other competing beers at 4.5%.

For just $2.99 per six pack or $11.49 for a 24 pack, I can see this beer becoming a best seller item for the Walgreens company especially for store locations near college or university campuses. It’s brewed by “Brewmaster’s Choice” in Rochester, NY which is responsible for several other store brand beers and liquors.

This may also be a great beer for those discerning beer drinkers to keep on hand for their friends that don’t appreciate the latest micro brew that cost you $10 for a six pack. Just pour the Big Flats 1901 into a chilled mug and they’ll hardly even notice. 🙂

I’d love to see other retailers get into the generic or store brand beer game. As a loyal Costco member, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a case of “Kirkland” brand beer from Costco if they offered it based on the quality of their other store brand products. Perhaps an Up & Up or Archer Farms Beer from Target, or Equate Beer from Wal-Mart would quickly follow Walgreen’s lead in the near future.
