Ok, when did a plain old dust storm get a stupid middle eastern name? It is just a dust storm. No funny name is needed. We have them in Oklahoma. Back in the 30's they were called the dust bowl. I have been outside and seen rain during a dusty day and watched mud fall from the sky.

I got the garage cleaned back up. The vacation stuff is put up. I did step one of the leather cleanup.


I actually read the instructions after I had started. The seats got the first treatment. They are supposed to sit in a "steam room" like environment. That is easy. I turned of the AC and opened the garage door. It is only 99 so 10 degrees cooler than two days ago.

I don't expect you to understand this Sid simply because of your age, but I am tired. Not the I need more sleep kind either.
oh, i get that, these days. after three or four 12 hour shifts in a row, with five hours or less sleep between, running my arse off because they keep throwing more patients at the same number of therapists, i am fkn BEAT. dead on my feet, beat. so beat, i couldn't explain to the guy at the parts store what part i wanted and had to show him on my car, last monday. yeah, i was that exhausted. it was a simple vacuum tee at the intake manifold.

The pics are cool. Call dust storms what ever you want. I was just wondering why a plain old storm that has dust in it gets a silly name. Dust storm works just fine as a name.

I'm really glad I rent right now. AC systems that can handle this climate are not freaking cheap.
