Default Someone help that's good with radiator fluid change...(working on it now)

Ok, 35,000 miles on the car, however when I checked the fluid it was running a rich mixture (not sure if this would be the correct term), but basically too much rad fluid, not enough water. So i go to change it (with trusty helms in hand ).

Here is the question. Where is the drain plug for the engine...I can't seem to find it!

Also, this was quite a messy job...is there tips that you have to keep from spilling chit everywhere!

Thanks for the help.

Brandon - who is sitting patiently for the answer to appear before he contiues...

The drain is on the bottom of the radiator.
