The Day in the Car Barn
Permalink  
 


The temps here in Milw yesterday were in the 80's!  So, the wife wanted to take the Allante out for the first time this year.  I get in, turn the key and let the fuel pump do its thing, along with the brake booster.  Then I turn the key to full on and nothing!

Seems as though the Battery Tender clamp on the ground was not making a connection, who knows for how long, and the battery was dead.  So much for the Allante ride!

Last fall I purchased a 4' x 6' Oldsmobilie carpet formerly used at a dealerhip.   Yesterday, I finally opened the box.  This thing was so filthy that clouds of dust literally flew up from it when I unrolled the carpet!  I had to spend some time carefully removing some old caked up chewing gum from the carpet.  Then I vacuumed it before taking a pressure washer to it.  Rivers of brown dirt flowed from the carpet when it was subjected to the pressure washer.  I used 409 Carpet Cleaner on it, and more pressure washer washings.  After about 3 hours I do have the carpet to the point that it actually looks more than presentable.

So, the day was not a total loss.

It's always good to have a plan B.

"Plan B" was in fact invoked.  It is called a 1997 Nissan D21 Pickup Truck!  biggrin
