Agreed. Sorry @Bizwacky. Greatly appreciate all you do. Let me know if there’s anything with which I might help.

If you missed the first one, don’t miss the sequel, May 5th, DMS’s Good Vibes Cleanup Club.
Good Vibes Cleanup Club is not a club, it’s not a meet, and it’s not a group drive, it’s a way of life! And that way of life involves dirty, menial labor as we maintain the automotive area. Our goal is to have our community workshop be clean, functional, and organized. Come on out and help, there’s guaranteed to be good vibes, good conversation, and questionable fluids.
Auto bays will be closed during this time. Lift Training will be available for anyone who volunteers. Wear clothes you don’t mind ruining.

Don’t forget like I almost did, automotive cleanup day is today, May 5th. Come on down and work up a sweat before you hit the margaritas.

Friendly remind that our cleanup day is next Thursday, July 7th. We’ve got a big wish list of things to get done so if you can make it, we’d appreciate it.
I’m also planning on hosting a few rounds of auto auction price-is-right. There will be prizes!
Calling all gearheads of talk, please PM me your favorite sold cars from Bring A Trailer, Cars and Bids, etc. I’d like to get a fun list.

Cleanup day is today!
Lift training for everybody who shows up. I’ll try to kick things off when I get there after work but if you can’t be there until later that’s all good.

We also inventoried and checked the condition of all of the specialty tools in the right-hand green cabinet:

We did buy some in recent memory but I’ll have to look and make sure we still have it.
I think we are out of the juice. We looked around but couldn’t find it around automotive. No idea where it went since it was concentrated & should have been enough for more change overs.
and a sock…for the parts washer
So the sock was changed recently….but more recently someone cleaned some pretty dirty parts….not unreasonably dirty, but dirty. This gunked-up the new sock. I washed it with the walnut shell had cleaner and got it to pass fluid well enough….but it isn’t perfect.
