Bigger is better?

This is the second one that I have bought. Was I waxing my car at some point?

I don't know, but I think I bought this one to clean the floor when I finally got the larger bedroom in Tempe.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to scrub the floor before I moved to Page, so my landlord kept part of my deposit--on top of the portion that was simply "nonrefundable"--despite me cleaning my old room so well he said "This is the first time a tenant left his room perfectly clean."

Also despite cleaning the bigger room before I moved in.

Remember when I thought my Civic hood had crazing and I buffed all of the way down to the primer?

I am unsure that I have ever used a buffer properly.

If I ever developed time travel I wouldn't not buff the hood

I would look at my Forester's check engine light, read the code, and then post about it, instead of posting that I had a check transmission light.

As if even reporting that I had a check engine light without checking the code would be useful.

I might even go back and replace my Civic radiator and the fan, instead of just the latter.

Then I don't see how I would have blown the head gasket.

Would I still be driving the Civic, just without heat-- in snow country?!

I don't know. Chorizo had 222,000 miles 3 years and 8 months ago.


The buffer has a single elastic cord inside the waistband, while the $6 5" Walmart attachment has a half-inch underwear waistband.

If a drawstring knot throws the cover off-balance, how could I replace the elastic with a sturdier one?
