AK sounds like you've got things covered!! I don't want Molly L@@KING Trashy with 3 Tabs on her, if I can't get them off, then I'll have no choice but to put the new one on top of the 2 that are already there. But I have learned that I may need something a little more powerful than WD40...But what??!!
Lighter fluid - like zippo refill fluid. Seriously. Helped get my old stripe sticky gunk off when I changed out my stripes.

Really??!! I was successful at getting it off...a Metal Paint Scaper and my Blow Dryer!! BUT...I took off some of the License Plate Coating as well, you can't tell the difference. I just might have to get a new License Plate when I re-new her Tabs next Year.

Great suggestion UhOh...Thanks!!

Lighter fluid doesn't cause any issues with the paint?

Surprisingly, no. If you think about it, the chemicals in lighter fluid form the basis of the "Goo Gone" and such like stuff that is supposed to get gunk off. I was hesitant about it (and just about elbow-greased my arm off without it) until a friend who was helping me put my "new" stripes on used it. MAGIC!!!

I made the mistake of "Spilling the Beans" when Hubby got home from work. I had a Taco Bell Cup in my hand...he didn't even notice. Well we went to Dinner and drove by some Landscapers who were down the road, we passed them and I (stupidly) said..."they were here earlier..." well that gave it away...Doh!!!

2phun- HEEEYYYYY!! Been a long time! Glad to see you stopped by to say hey.

TNMM- I haven't been watching the news for a long time but WOW!!! I hope that you're ok. I'm also not on FB either ( I know... such a loser, right?!?). So, I can't see any of the pics. But of course if you need a rescue I think we can figure something out.

RJ- Hope to not see you around here so much anymore. Because of course this will mean that you are out and ENJOYING your Molly! It's no fun being stuck. Glad you're getting a bit of freedom back. Feels great doesn't it!

If UHOH says the lighter fluid works then do the lighter fluid. She knows what she's talking about. And she can pee in a field without crying about it... (unlike this little hothouse flower )

Cabby!

Gem- I wouldn't let the man drive. Nope.

Hal- Glad you had dry weather for the Dragon. Got any pics ot share? Any tales?

MrAK- I think if no one was at your office you could've just gone outside, right? 'Cause who's gonna say something about it? When it's beautiful it's hard to stay in.

Nah, I don't think so.

It's just that time of year again where I get super busy in the office. I've been preparing for another trip out to the field...in fact, I was supposed to fly out on wednesday but weather issues keep causing delays with our pilot's schedule. Looks like he's looking at taking me out there on sunday now.

Hi all.
No Ola, you can't get rid of us that easily....

I'm just busy with work, school, and life in general, I don't even have time to care for Nugget like I should! I'm trying not to be a bad mom...

Oh and Happy News, today is my best friends wedding. My best friend and I have known each other for 30 years. Last night at the rehearsal I cried! wow did I cry, today will be crazy fun! *note to self, bring tissues*
I am the Maitron of Honor!!! Today is supposed to 73 and sunny, couldn't have asked for a better day.

I'm as excited as the day of my own wedding. (maybe even more )

Have a great day all.

Haven't killed the thread yet Ola! I'm still here but it's end of school year for my two, who are in different schools, and I'm running like a chicken with my head cut off.

Today is time to catch up on Laundry (a daunting task)

Wish you had given me more notice. I'd like to video that. Probably be a big hit on YouTube.

Ola, it's Rainish here Today, so Molly won't be going out to Play.
I detailed her Interior on Saturday, she still L@@KS great from the Detail she got from Mini2na, so I'm reluctant to take her out afraid she'll get Dirty!! Supposed to be cleaning the house, ah well, I'd rather be on here!!

Looks good, but would need an engine upgrade to meet your motoring style!

That 850cc with a fresh valve job and a good tune-up develops 32 HP.

But its REALLY nice though.

I see yours and raise you this one: Mini Traveller .
