Well an absolute soaking of raid managed to kill who was there. I knocked it out of the engine bay and I didn't die... Which was nice! Currently hooving out all of the powdered underseal which has compacted itself EVERYWHERE! It's currently 30oC and 60% humidity here in Virginia today so it's rather moist shall we say. 60% is moist? |

Well I am! Lol.
I meant to write "I'm moist".
Its actually not high for here, we get it in the 90's. I'm guessing you have it just as bad or worse in Louisiana?

Yyyyooooooo! I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but we've released another new video on the Tube! We'd love it if you'd subscribe to help our channel grow! Also, for those who love photos and regular updates, yesterday I bravely fought off the newly built wasp nest and spent hours cleaning out the inside...   And then found another load of rust... GREAT! Fortunately it isn't anything structural. It's part of the dashboard and it's actually a crappy design. The padded top section is actually formed from a steel sheet and then screwed to the dash, when water has leaked in it's run under the padding and rusted out the corner of the steel sheet.  Andy |

Ey up! We've not another new video out concluding the underseal removal work! Not time to get on with cutting our the remaining rust! The bloody wirewheel got me again on Saturday (Graphic photo below)! This time it was 100% my fault and I was trying to save time, ended up wirewheeling off a considerable amount of flesh off the inside of my hand which earn't me an 1 hour long stay in PatientFirst (like A&E) a good bandage up and a Tetanus shot for good measure! Fortunately no stitches but honestly - I probably think it should have though I was happy to not receive another injection!  Andy |

There's been a reason why there's been a consistent lack of updates... Well, two really. 1. It's bloody hot here in Virginia at the moment! 2. We got married!  |

Well done on the wedding - rust free honeymoon or does the lockdown dictate otherwise Thanks @grumpynorthener! We had a few days in a cabin in West Virginia but a proper honeymoon will take place a some point in the future. Though with how things are carrying on our honeymoon could be in the Cortez... Not that, that would be a bad thing! Brilliant news, Well done. You both scrub up very well. Ha ha! Thank you! Fortunately Virginia played nice and the weather was in the low 80oF's and the humidity was low, otherwise I'd have been a big sweaty shiny mess! L always scrubs up well! Congratulations! Thanks for posting pictures, hope the hand heals OK! Not a problem! The hand is almost completely healed now, I think another week and I'll just have a small scar. Congrats! Very exciting but she still has to take her ring off when she works on the camper! 😂 Ha ha! I told her what you said, she smiled and said she would - I don't believe her, I'm not sure if you should either to be honest! I'll keep an eye on it... Do I have to take mine off too? 😂 |
