workin at the car wash

We lived for so many years in the city that I sometimes forget we have a driveway and hose. Not yesterday though. The car was getting scuzzy and needed a bath, inside and out.

Shameless came by to do her’s too. (Bearing gifts of Armor-Allâ„¢ and RainXâ„¢).

We lost a hubcap on our trip to Cincinnati – and at some point chrisglass mentioned that in Europe, they don’t use them.

So… Choosing between buying groceries or coughing up the $80 it would take to buy a replacement cap… I took them all off.. It doesn’t look bad – actually the simplicity is nice. I guess the American Automotive Aesthetic would declare this hooptie or white-trash.. I’ll opt for Euro-trash.. ok? – Besides.. it’s just a car.

My scarce but adored old friend dating back to High School – Mike, (a.k.a. “Betty”) came by for a visit while we labored on the cars. I’ve been babysitting his keg-meister for the last two years.. Through gentle tele-nagging – he’s come to retrieve it…

We took regular breaks from the sun and ran under the carport and chatted the afternoon away.

devcubber came by later that evening to borrow some paint stripper and our heat gun.. (and to enjoy cookies and gab).

So I guess it was a textbook Saturday… Nothing to blog about.
