Thinking about driving to Arizona to Trick or Treat. When that door opens and I get, not candy but 303 Graphene detailer products, I will have found the missing (insert name we all know)!! :like:
Gonna be a really nice night out here to do that, as Temps tonight will be in the 70s about the time all the little ones are out.

I'm sure @AzScorpion would be happy to treat you to some snack sized 303 products should you happen to visit!

Come on, guys, that's clearly slabs of milk & white chocolate. Halloween was wild at Kristina's!
chocolate wrestling is not the same as jello wrestling. . .

I continue to clean out the basement with little piddly things. You can't see it but there's a massage table under there with the stickiest degrading cover ever. It had been leaning against a wall for 8+ years and I went to move it for the insulation we just had done and it was stuck to the wall! And super gummy. =(

I think it's PVC vinyl and the table itself is closer to 20+ years old. I know that stuff breaks down, but it's just grossly sticky!

Bummer is that I'll have to pay $5 to dump is as an "upholstered piece of furniture". Normally I'd just take it apart but it's too icky for this princess! =p

If the fates align, I may be able to dump this little load and come back and fill up Soupie with mulched up leaves for a second load! Life is, indeed, very good!

Some people are born with a silver spoon (or a rake in my case). =D

Livin' the dream baby! =)

Filled up the most I’ve ever filled up 19 gallons…. Previously only ever got 18.6.

It’s premium fuel because I’m towing my work trailer. Not a normal occurrence for me or my wallet.

The dream came true and I did two (yes, TWO!) dump runs today. Both on the smallish size but ya gotta celebrate all the wins! =D

Adding a mulching plate made a huge difference for my leaf mulching but some rain put a damper on making it a fuller load (DAMPER!). =p

Soupie's a good Ranger and I sure enjoy it. =)

Then I went to the mother ship to pick up fun stuff for removing the lead paint from my basement. And since it's concrete, I guess I have the added joy of potential silicocis, but I do wear a P100 respirator. The diamond cup wheel makes short work of it but it'll still take an eternity to do all the walls (maybe the floor too!).

I grabbed one of those nifty cyclone separator dealios for the vacuum and it really works well. Almost no particles make it to the shop vac, they just settle into the bucket - pretty nifty thing.

And I wimped out and got a 4.5" angle grinder, my old 7" Makita would be too tough on my craptacular shoulders (plus all the cement dust will undoubtedly shorten the life of the grinder).

Made a big road trip. Rescued another car.

Love it and you also solved that engineering design issue of too high of a bed rake. =p

I bet your Ranger pulled that with ease! =)

Nicely done!

Hey, found another pic of your truck:
