Great seeing you too Fred.... And walking on two legs! You look as young as

Bob, your post has I'm sure made most of the list members laugh out loud,
not sure if it was because it's funnie or if all of us remember doing
similar stunts just that your posting for the world to see, good seeing you
and the wife again after so many years, glad both are safely home.  "FT"

> bay.........and there sitting on the battery is the oil filler cap 
> smiling at me. What a mess. What a dummy.
> Luckily it was all splatter and no quantity lost as I didn't even have

> let it sit overnight. Today I hit the spot with "Greased Lighting", 
> wiped it up, rinsed with water and there's absolutely no evidence of 
> oil. So I did the same with the liner on the car and it came out 
> looking like new. I couldn't believe it. Bob states on his site that 
> they WILL NOT absorb oil and they won't.
> Even the logo looks great.
