Ozy and Steffi are on their way to the USA

Raspberry something, it will rock you back after a shot. I think it must be flammable.....

Good stuff!!

I feel bad as they have arrived right in the middle of Maine's world famous "Mud Season" ....it's not pretty..

Roads are heaved and soft, ice still on the lake, it has rained since they bumped the dock in Halifax. But today finally the sun came out so things don't look quite so bad.

They arrived two to three weeks early as the Seabridge arrangements changed last minute so their well planned leisurely trip through Germany to load up in Hamburg got changed to a hasty drive to Antwerp instead....

At least they get to see the real north east.

Yeah, short after arrival a guy at the hotel told me about the beautiful liquid sunshine of nova Scotia.

Today I refurbished some dashboard parts that Mike stored for me, all good but one piece, I don't know, the previous owner used it seams a lot of dashboard shine. Now it is tainted yellowish, how can I remove that residues - if even possible.
Any ideas?
I have to ask Sandy, she's into paint removal..

 

[mwilson]

Which piece is it?? The long panel??

 

[jgillott]

Try some regular old Blue Windex glass cleaner to see if it will strip some of that oil residue.

 

[Ozymandias]

Which piece is it?? The long panel??

The one that has the light switch in it.

The long one got clean with a brush and some soap.

The middle piece was almost in mint condition.

 

[mwilson]

Sandy will probably have a solution, she is pretty good at that.

I checked out the Seabridge website. What a great service! Too bad they don’t come to Alaska......yet! I’d love to throw the old Ram in the ferry and head to SA or Oz. That’d be fantastic just to be on the ship for weeks at a time.

We have been promised Fondue tonight!!!

With all this rain the camper has swelled up!!!

Hi Don

Seattle is the most northern point at the west coast they ship to.
Check out also www.ivssuk.com as another shipper, they offer more ports to ship but also not Alaska.

And - every journey starts with the first step out the door. South America is great to travel, we've several friends that traveled for years down there and two are there at the moment since two years.

Traditional Swiss Fondue tonight....

A combination of many Swiss cheeses..

Delicious.....!!!

White wine, black tea and fondue!!!

 

[mwilson]

Running low on Appenzeller, Ozy went to town and discovered the Jagermeister is very close in formulation..

Testing one against the other...

 

[jgillott]

Now you need to introduce them to some good old American corn whisky.

I saw that today in the Hannaford and was wondering about the bottles design.
