But wait! There’s more!

Of course there is!
I hosed off the driveway, but I missed a couple of spots, and after getting the stains by the car I couldn’t see the ones by the street.
I had three cancellations and when I went to see the crazy family the mom said “Oh hey, my other son is out of town.”
Come on!
I probably would have canceled!
Getting ready, driving an hour each way in a wrecked car on an excessively-dramatic highway sitting in a house without air conditioning, driving an hour back, and then getting ready to work on my car.
I wiped off the pan, scraped off as much Hondabond as I could with a brand-new razor, and then used a plastic scraper to get as much as I could.
There are still bits and pieces here and there, but it is also missing some paint on the mating surface, which makes my Spider-sense tingle.



There are also brown spots on the inside, so apparently it is missing some paint, and I fear it is rusting.

Apparently I need to strip it with a wire wheel and use engine paint.

Just boring black engine paint?
