Car of the day…
Now for Today:
For ME, automotive
windshields are very tough to clean for some reason. It isn’t much of a problem
and looks good until you are driving directly into the sun light, then you see
all the smears, lines and just mess you missed. WE drive a Honda CRV and even
it has a windshield this old man cannot reach to the middle.
When I get the car home and
finally think about re-doing the windshield. Dadgummit, I still have a mess
when I face the sun. I also realized that some of that is on the inside. OUCH I
absolutely despise trying to clean the windshield on the inside. It is a
terrible strain.
I once
worked at a real service station (remember them). Buy a dollar’s worth of gas and
you got your oil checked and windshields washed. On request you could get your
tire pressure checked.
To tell the truth my boss was a
friend but also I learned he was a crook. Mostly I serviced the gas island, but
at times I filled in at the bays. Many, many times the boss just added oil to
the fill mark shined up the old oil filter and charged for the oil change and a
filter.
I left his
employ and joined the USN. Sherry planned to drive up to Great Lakes to see
me while I was in school there. I told her to see Bobby, he was a crook, but I
was sure he would treat her right. OUCH He sold her everything he could even a
set of tires.
I climbed
his case when I came home on leave, but it did not faze him. “Jack, she needed everything
I did.” It wasn't long until he went bankrupt.
I never
had a problem with windshields back then, but in the 1950-60 era they weren’t too
big. LOL. I still wonder what was used to clean the windshield back then, I
sure do not remember, but it did a good job. I do not remember having a problem
with streaks!
We are off to the Dr. for Sherry’s long awaited Ultra Sound of her stomach. Think of us and say a prayer….
(She is only 83 but still hoping it is a girl! LOL)

I do miss those full service gas stations. Now that I'm older, they would really come in handy. I will keep Shirley in my prayers for a good doctors report.
Me, too! Missing those full-service stations, that is. I wonder just how many people would be willing to pay a little extra each week for that privilege.
Been praying for y'all since I first read this morning on my phone. How long before you know the results?
PS - If you find any solution for those dang streaks please let us all know!
Praying for Sherry and you too, Jack.
God bless you both always; and your family.
Hope everything went well for Sherry. Prayers for her, and you, Sheila
Serves that crook right going bankrupt. What a weasel. It's practically impossible to get the inside windshield 100% clear. It's a pain in the butt to clean and it still looks bad when you're done. Hope all goes well with Sherry and her ultrasound and they can resolve her stomach issue.
Prayers for Sherry's good outcome. It's nervewracking to have health issues ~ if it's a girl, I know she's be beautiful!!!
