The Good, the Bad, and the Really, Really Ugly.

The Good. 
Tyler and Sam came over this afternoon, and Tyler helped me get the bed off the truck.  I can now work at getting the dents out of the back of the cab.

The Bad.
Leroy has kennel cough, and can't have his surgery until it clears up.  Bummer.  I was looking forward to having him around the house this weekend.  As it stands, he's going to have to stay at the shelter until he's relatively health.  We just don't have the ability to isolate him from Wally.

The Ugly.
450,000 miles of leaks can leave a really nasty mess on the underside of a truck.  The sludge coating the undercarriage was so thick that it took a scraper to get it thin enough for the pressure washer to have an effect.  It's gonna take a few days of extremely grimy work to get this back where it belongs.

Stay well and safe this holiday weekend.

  1. Well, I was right. One day of grimy work down and at least one to go. Put the rotary head on the pressure washer and blew crud all over myself, the ground, and anything near the truck. The up side being the slime was off the truck. One more day, and it should be ready to hit with some rattle-can paint.
