ooh, shiny

Amusing self-observations while spiffing the golfcart up for Tour
de Sol today. It finally cleared up, although I managed to busy up
the rainy days with printing packets of doc to hand out, crossloading
rally routes into the GPS, etc etc.
.
This is the first car I've actually used *soap* on in like 20 years.
.
Rain-x on the windshield, back window, and mirrors.
.
Isopropyl on some of the stubborn spots on the microfiber.
.
It's amazing how much winter dirt the drivers' floor mat can hold.
.
The "mushroom farms" formed by organic muck collecting around the
base of the rear-hatch lift rods are even gone for now.
.
Saratoga or bust,

Unfortunately my camera isn't in my hands this week, or I would have.
You really want excruciating but well-lit closeups of my floor
mats?? How ... exciting! Really, it looks like any other freshly-
cleaned Prius, like in many peoples' avatars and uploads..
.

Actually, there's a pic from when I did this *last* year, as
a component image near the top of the big chaotic montage under
http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/car...log/intro.html which
includes several pix from last year's TdS since it figured largely
in my picture-taking activities at that point.
