Recently adopted 2 USED beagles from the south. Neither one had any rust...

Time to clear out the club cab and see if they will all fit in there. Shouldn't be a problem, other than the methane smell my wife will have to endure having 4 dogs and me in there on a hot summer day...
Eh, she will survive...

Methane is odorless. Sulfur? Now THAT'S a problem!

You'll feel so much better doing so...
So unfair,
Now if I tried to do something like that I would get in all kinds of trouble,
I hear off our California coast we have old street cars,
Soviet and Japanese submarines,
And maybe hoffa's head.

The process of approving, preparation, and eventual sinking of a ship can take years, as the hulk has to be completely void of any hazards, or chemical releasable materials. Besides the lengthy approval and cleaning processes, the ship must be older than 1985, which makes a dodge non qualifying for artificial reefing, unless it's as gasser or conversion.

Cleaned the steering wheel.

My wife was complaining about every time she wanted to drive the truck the steering wheel made her hands dirty. SO finally after 12 years I got out the dishpan some scotch-bright pads and a tooth brush and I went at it. After an hour or so I had cleaned off 27 years of dirt, oil, grease, animal dung and probably some bug juice. It doesn't exactly sparkle but it's clean as I can get it. I also did the shift ****.

I just finished replacing the trans and fixing the shifter so it won't get stuck between gears. I could drive it but she couldn't seem to get the feel of it without locking it up. Now it's solid.

We have snow here sometimes. The nice thing is we can drive up to see the snow and when we're tired of it we go back home where it's dry and warm.

Sweating is something I dislike, unless its during sex once a year, or working out at the gym, 3 to 4. Times a week

Hate it most when I'm working, and my glasses get slobbered up...

Snow is fun to push about when its around
