Sunny Saturday

 

I woke up this morning and the sun was shining.  The rumor from the National Weather Service was that it was going to go up to 55F.   By the time I finally rolled about and got ready to exit the house it was 10:15, there were already long lines at the car wash.    I am talking about twenty cars in line.

   Now Emily, bless her heart, said that I am the most impatient person she knows.   I have to admit that this morning I was, I could not spend one hour in that line.   There is another car was and this was one you wash yourself and it also have a no touch washer, how does that work?  

I suspect it had some type of high pressure water washer.  There were about ten people in that line…I wonder if you could use that to wash your mini blinds?   Just a thought there……

I came home and decided to wash it myself.   Chuck was home so he decided to have an auto wash-a-thon.   The first problem was the hose was frozen,   I suggested to him to get the one from the back of the house that the sun had been shining on it for a few hours, EUREKA  it was thawed……

Each time we wash cars he gives me a critique and tutorial on what I am doing wrong.   This must be some innate knowledge on the Y Chromosome.  No matter what I do, it is not right.    

How many ways are there to was the car?  Step one, wet it down.   Step two, wash it top to bottom with a soap and water solution.   Step three, rinse off soap water with clean water.   Step four, dry the freaking car with a clean cloth.      I did those steps but I WAS DOING IT WRONG.  I did not was it horizontally, washing it in a circular motion, ala Mr. Miyagi, was not right….I was tempted to squirt the antagonist with the hose but decided not to at that point in time.    I would have if the weather had been 30 degrees warmer.   I do have some scruples.

We did wash three cars and saved about $30 dollars, next time I hope the line is not long, or I will wash it a day when he is at work.

It was a great feeling to get two months grit and grime off the car.
