Exactly, I use it to prep my interior/exterior paint as well. Vinegar is superior "WD40, duct tape and bailing wire"...Old saying, in these parts anyway.

Re: Covid Proof

My wife and I took my '68 up to visit my 82 year old mother-in-law this afternoon at her assisted living facility. (Also got a big thumbs-up from a woman on a loud Harley on the way there.)

My poor mother-in-law is bored to tears not being able to venture out. We had to sit outside away from each other. She's been a good trouper through all this though.

I'm surprised you got even that, no doubt depends on the home area. I haven't seen my stepdad since I think Feb. He's a tough old Marine Colonel with dementia. One thing that's difficult is he's in much better condition than most at the home.

If only I could convince him it's his home, it's permanent, it's paid for, he doesn't pay per meal and there's a quarantine Those who know dementia probably know what I mean.
