    Default Dirty Rain

    Well yesterday there was a 20 % chance of rain, so off to Hot Springs i go to visit with Spyderpops, yeah, well i got 100 % of that 20 % chance of rain and it was a dirty rain. Took me 45 Minutes to wash my Spyder and then another 45 minutes to detail it with Lamonster's Black Diamond Detailer, used about a 1/4 of this can so now i will have to order some more.

    I told you, Retired people can stay in bed or get out of bed whenever they want to.

    I "un-tucked" it for you

    But you DO resemble the Friar a little bit...

    I've been retired for six weeks. I have to agree with you on staying in bed or getting out of bed.
