Nobody to [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_bicker.gif[/img] at you when you clean parts in the kitchen sink. Hey I figure if dishwashing detergent is good enough to cut 1 month old grease off pots and pans its good enough to clean some grease off some brackets and other odds and ends.

The bathtub also works good.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

Sometimes it's the wife that's doing the parts cleaning.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] Love that Dawn dish soap, nothing better![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img] Haven't had anything to clean in the dishwasher...yet. But it's on my list of ways to clean things.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

I've had auto parts all over the living room for the past several months. "Powder" room is now the "shop-sink" room. Ford books & magazines stacked up here & there everywhere. A louvered rear window shade for '67 Mustang fastback next to the couch for so long I forgot it was there; until a visitor asked 'what the hell is that'.

Slob grease-monkey and proud of it,... I guess.

Actually, I haven't got much work done on the car since the wife left.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]


I'm too busy enjoying myself again. I don't need to hide in the garage anymore![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

Hey, so you're the one that left all these little parts all over my house![img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img] I had to laugh at myself earlier when cooking dinner and had to move a can of carb cleaner away from the toaster oven.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] I was cleaning the balancer earlier before some sanding to paint it and hadn't got around to putting the stuff back out in the garage.

Did you bake the paint finish in the oven. Works real good! Stu
