Came to a sliding stop on the berm of I-85 yesterday with Paddy.
Tossed my cookies over the guardrail, been sick ever since.
Stomach flu, Black Plague, it's anybody's guess.
I don't even want to think about food right now, my loving wife informed me that I was greener than the lettuce on the salad she had for lunch.
Gotta love her, she puts up with me.

Taking a break from installing the hitch from my old HHR to my new (to me) HHR. That hidden muffler hanger is a real devil to remove. I think getting that thing off is going to take as long as the rest of the job. I don't remember it being that hard when I did it before. Oh well back to the job.

Our Did was actually a Re-did....
Those tire paint pens we used last year didn't hold up...not that it really surprised me but I was hoping...
So today Eve and I took the Panel to a manual car wash, scrubbed the daylights out of the tires and hit them with the high pressure hose and got the rest of the white paint pen paint off...then went home, cleaned the letters with alcohol and re-painted them with that Ranger Tire Paint I bought last winter...
Believe it or not, a bit over 3 hours to do the job (Just The Lettering, That Does NOT Count Clean Up)...Eve did the painting and I came behind and cleaned up the over paint areas. It worked pretty good doing it that way but now I can't stand up straight...Oh well, small price to pay for the way the Panel looks with white lettered tires....
I just HOPE this paint stands the test of time...
