Default Dusty, how's your thumb?

Hi Dusty, how's the thumb coming along? I bet it's pretty painful what with the cut plus the inevitable bruising. Done similar in the past and lost a lot of sleep with throbbing cuts and bruises. Hope it's getting better.

Only popped 2 stitches at work yesterday. I fashioned a splint for today.

Hope you're feeling better Dusty..
I sooo need to do that.

The old D2 has been cleaned inside out out EVERY year since we owned it but it's one aspect that's a bit neglected ........... my wife never keeps on top of this car cleaning thingy
Oh the things I learn when I clean.. Still in the middle of this spa make-over. Washed and waxed but found FOUR spots of paint issues on poor Bertha - she's becoming thin skinned in her old age Two big stone chips? (about the size of a pinkie fingernail) where her Oslo blue paint is gone and the white underbody (fiberglass?) is showing thru. The other two areas are very minute but are definite corrosion - going to buff out with wax and then see if I can find some blue paint to touch up these spots - any ideas? Do the Rover gods sell it?

Just put the first coat of plasti-dip on the trim around the wheel well (terminology?) (the can states to apply four coats?!) - vacuumed her out too but still have to dust everything down and clean the windows on the inside. Working on the brake dust on the wheels now - talk about grueling!


.. I wonder if my husband will take a gander and drive the vehicle now that she's looking all purdy? I don't know what he has against her but he will not drive her. Oh how I'd love to sit in the passenger seat again....


Ok Offroad, my ticket has been purchased, I'm arriving on Ryan air...

Both. Truck could use a good cleansing. I need a shave, definitely a mani, and I haven't had a professional hair cut since about the time my truck was being manufactured.

Just when I think I've got you all figured out Bubbles, you go and shock me all over again. I took you as a clean cut, dark haired tall guy who is borderline metrosexual
