    Course that's what I suspect...

LCBOs, go to your local LCBO for your bourbon. Liquor Control Board of Ontario. Nobody knows it that way now of course. Weed stores outnumber liquor stores 2:1 so the market is like the tulip craze, bit of a bubble gonna go up in smoke.
    It'll be another 5 to 10 years down here in the Bible belt before we end prohibition.

    Oh God it's been years since I was "ridin' dirty" (Atlanta reference) no, my guy delivers. Funny thing was he was really grilling me about my mpg and was really considering a Mirage. He works for a cannibus farm in Colorado and commutes there once a month and works for 2 weeks and then spends 2 weeks back home in Atlanta, so his fuel costs are killing him, as he's driving a brand new Tacoma. I told him the Mirage is more than able but for the sake of his back and butt, he should probably spend the night at a hotel half way to Colorado.

    Update: Ajax worked great with hot water but I'll probably have to do another flush.

    Might take a few refills of washer fluid to completely flush out. In time I guess.

    I wonder if watered down washer fluid, and do the squirting to empty again, and repeat a few more times. Annoying situation. I use a plastic funnel when I refill my washer fluid tank since washer fluid pours out so sloppy every time. Winter driving you go through the stuff way more.

    Dawn dish washing soap, hydrogen peroxide, & baking soda - mix equal amounts of each together

    =

    homemade dog shampoo recipe for any dog sprayed by a skunk (from my local vet).

    I'm going to save that recipe as I trapped & relocated 9 skunks this summer. Thankfully Bark Bark didn't get sprayed... Yet... !!!


    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything
