Looking forward to it. Been doing lots of stretches in between rest/fill stops.

There's a distinct lack of cardboard boxes for my body kit at the moment

When in college turned a guy and his wheelchair into a tank for a Halloween costume using cardboard, tape, and a little paint.

So, while I was out of commission with my foot thing a friend came by a couple of times and washed my cars for me. He used his power washer. Was surprised how little water he used compared to using a garden hose with a spray nozzle. Then he dried the car using his electric leaf blower. Did a fantastic job. He was able to go straight from the leaf blower blow dry to detail spray.

So, thinking I need to get me a power washer and a leaf blower. Looking at a Karcher K3 Follow Me washer that has 4 wheels and one of the EGO cordless electric blowers.

Good morning folks.

TGIF!

The local PCA region charity car show is tomorrow. Last year we had Sid & Tweeze as honored guests. I guess we will have to carry on without them.

Last year we had a 959 attend. Who knows what will show up this year.

I'd buy anything with an ego. How could you go wrong?

The eGO leaf blower is a battery powered 450 CFM blower.

They got a highly rated electric lawn mower and string trimmer, and chainsaw too.

There is one blower that is made specifically for drying cars that blows heated air, but I just can't bring myself to spend $400 on drying my car.

I have a makita 18v leaf blower and while it's good for pushing water out of crevices, it's pretty underpowered really.


And Glen, have fun at the car show! I'll be back in ok for a bit soon, but that won't be until October.

The 18V Makita moves a whole 91 CFM of air. The EGO does 450 CFM. That's a bit more air.
