    Its the slime stuff for auto detailing - gets all the gunk out of the nooks and crannies you can't reach with a rag.
    not sure if i should be happy or disgusted. it obviously worked but....damn....Baby Toy was filthy! And this was only what came out of the vents and speakers and stuff. I just detailed it a couple weeks ago and its spent most of the time since in the garage!

    i went for the 2 pack but for a buck more i could have gotten 4! it came in a little 2x2x2 plastic storage cube. supposed to be reusable but I don't know how much more life this thing has in it.

    seems to have done the job. i was a little cautious at first, didn't want to cram it in and not get it all back out. worked pretty well i'd say!

    well...Baby Toy is 21 years old. And I've kept him clean. Dad did so so (not up to my standards :laugh: ). I was surprised how dusty he was!

    the wind in the storm i'm talking about was freight train like. i heard it coming up the valley and over the ridge. thats why i was bracing myself in the tent. i knew it wasn't going to be good. no trees where i was, and that was part of the problem. nothing to slow the wind and the ladder of the tent was facing into the wind. newbie mistake. i was scared and packed up the tent in a hurry. traveled back down the mountain a bit into the trees and off the ridge where i could get some shelter.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Good morning!

    Lots of talk about heat. Last summer we had 95 days of +90 degree temps. This year hasn’t been as bad...yet.

    Proper clothing/hat and hydration are essential.

    The older I get, the more I want moderate temps, 45-50 lows and 65-70 highs.

    This Spring we had a stretch of very nice, mild temps and we joked that if it was like this year round, we couldn’t afford to live here.

    Anyways, enjoy your Sunday no matter the temps!

    Good morning all! Daughter told me she was going to paint her room last week. She emptied and prepped the walls, put down the first coat, etc... My Saturday consisted of being a supervisor and trainer for the kid and wife on how to paint. Not sure why, but today, my back is barking loudly.

    I don’t know... Must be ok, I didn’t get a call about it. I going to ‘visit’ it today. Either way, it’s insured. :rolleyes:
    It stayed out on the mooring. Actually we didn’t get too much rain or extreme wind down here. It was mostly west of me.

    worked pretty well i think. still a little dust in the really deep recesses of the vents but this got most of what i missed with a rag last time.

    pretty much. i just cleaned the truck a couple of weeks ago and went all through the interior with a rag and some polish so the dash and door panels were good. i went over everything again just out of curiosity but it was still clean from last time. vents, speakers, around the radio and climate controls, and the shifters.
