Hey Jon,
I'll go with the Sand bags because I park in a underground garage at
home and work. Then you'll really hate me if i tell you both of them
have car washes in the undergrounds with hi pressure wands, foaming
brushes, wax (never tried it) and vaccums. $1.00 for 5 mins. =)
AND THAT'S CANADIAN FUNDS!!!!! It would be FREE in American funds.
How many bags though?
Jack,
The bodies would thaw out overnight in my garage. :(
My best friend is a funeral director though?! i'm sure there must be a
few unclaimed ones lying around. I'm sure they must have a "if not
claimed within 30 days" rule. Then first come... ;)
take care, eh!
(Jon, i'll send you a Touque, eh! ;) it's a Canadian thing,eh! you wear
it on you head, eh! ) you'll be converted in no time living that close
to the border and coming to our meets!!) =)
