Blade’s all wet! Looks like he worked hard.

They were ALL all wet. Those trails were STEEP! Poor ol' Bob had so much salt crusted on him by the time we got home that he looked like he'd been plastered. But he was more or less dry by that point so I gave him a good scrubbing with the brush and knocked most of it off. I'll get the rest of it this evening. I don't like to hose them off in the wintertime. That hose water is too darned cold!

Yeah - all we’ve got is cold hose water too... I look forward to the first bath of the season!

No kidding! When I washed my PT Cruiser last weekend, I had to bundle up in a slicker and fleece lined rubber boots and wear some of those yellow rubber kitchen gloves. I made my soapy water bucket with hot water from the tap, but the rinse water was straight from the ice cold hose.

It was 43 degrees outside then, so when I washed the car yesterday it felt downright balmy. I think it was 59 degrees.

The hose water was still cold, though!
