Bruce...they call it an "oil ditch" because oil runs in it. In this
case...about 10 miles long and then winds up in an "oil sump"...about
the size of Delaware ...G. Along with every other liquid that is
used in oil production, fuels, solvents and so forth. And likely Jimmy
Hoffa....


I painted the body this evening, after the sun went down with Jaso
paint stripper. Whatever it was...started coming off like fingerpaint
in the shower. Ill check it in the morning..fire up the pressure
washer and clean all the gunk off, and see what it looks like.

Do so before the sun's too high in the sky. If the methylene chloride all
evaporates, the paint will re-set to some extent, but it will be even less
pretty than before. DAMHIKT :-(

Oh..it was NASTY..but came off pretty well with a simple putty knife.
Ill work on it some more after it cools again this evening.

I had "4 days off" of which I wasnt home for the first one, had to
repair two friends vehicle on the second...today is busy.(and ****ing
HOT) and tommorow..will have to get my CCW renewed and try to finish
up what I didnt get done today.

Next 12 or so days..back to the grind on Phase 2 of the Project...sigh
