Car Wash Alert

Forecast high for Friday in southeast Michigan is 49. I have 3 dirty vehicles. I'm going to try to leave work early.

I couldn't believe it myself when I was checking the weather this morning. I thought I was the only one crazy enough to ponder washing the cars.

Maybe even throw on the summer tires if only for a week haha!

Well, I put the summer wheels and tires on today. Only took me 30 minutes start to finish so I figured why not?

Wanted to wash my wife's car but the hose is frozen! It's de-thawing right now.

I have a laundry tub with a threaded fitting just inside the house from the garage. I also use a dedicated, very flexible hose for winter washes that's just long enough to reach through the garage and down the driveway to the far bumper of a car being washed. After washing, I remove the nozzle and drain the hose before coiling and hanging it.

Well, I didn't get to the cars yesterday. After picking up my plate for the LX today, I noticed it was sunny and 43-45 today. All three vehicles got a bath this afternoon.
