Adventures in oil changing

Well, that went badly...

I think this picture speaks for itself...

  1. I don't know what it says about me, but I still remember reading one of your blog posts way, way back where you talked about how your uncle was complaining about how you used floor-dry instead of sawdust to clean up oil on the floor.

    For what it's worth, I'm in the floor-dry camp when I manage to dump a few gallons of oil on the floor.

    1. That was a long time ago! Not only has my uncle passed, but most of my readers from that era are also now voting democrat! Now I can use floor dry to my hearts content. Seems kind of pointless on gravel but just the knowledge that I can with no lectures is a comfort.

  2. If I still had sawdust I'd use it. Its free!

    1. Free sawdust is best. Back in the day sawdust was everywhere. We had a timber economy and sawdust was the by product. My parents house was heated by a sawdust burner. Now that good paying resource based economy has been replaced by tourists and wine there is no sawdust. Perhaps now we could burn nasty unsold Oregon wine?
