      oh, old oil is so stinky!! Well, that wasn't nearly as bad as what I invisioned. I thought you hid a sandbar and when flying out of the boat! Or a hill side bottle dump burried you.
      The Chevy emblem looks like one mounted on the grill.
      Yeah, google had some images for that brand of beer and their bottle openers and they were really odd looking.
      And you even found a critter!

      ...try soaking your clothes in a solution of Cascade Dish Washing Detergent. That stuff works really great!!! I use it for a lot of cleaning. I use it to clean and reclaim microscope slides; wash the car; it rinses, drains, dries clean and clear with no water spots. I use it for a 'pre-soak' for tough to clean clothes, towels, utility cleaning rags; I'm always amazed at how clean it gets them!!!!...

      One jackass throwing an oil filter into the stream caused all this havoc. WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT!!!!!! Spark plugs?? Whatever, and I don't even understand why every stream in America is littered with spark plugs, but an OIL FILTER??? What a mess. Gasoline will get that off, but who wants to coat themselves with gasoline. Naphtha maybe, but I would not want to coast myself in that either.

    You'll like this Beau. i was a mechanic . We ha a mobile drain trolley for draining oil. It has a basin on a tube with a one way valve in the bottom It has an inlet for the airline which normally has an adjustable pressure valve to drop the airline pressure down to 5 psi from a 120 psi and another drain hose to drain the oil into the waste oil tank. It uses the 5psi to drain the tank into the waste oil tank. What you do is open the valve on the drain hose and then open the other valve on the airline to pressurise and drain the tank. Some bastard took the pressure regulator off the drain tank to use elsewhere and didn't put it back So... Im talking to my boss and listening carefully to what he was saying and plugged the airline in with out the pressure regulator in line and wore the contents as it over came the one way valve in the bowl and i wore it all of the used engine oil at 120 psi. Not one of my best days . Nearly as bad as you encounter with the poison ivy while cutting your neighbours trees. LOL My day included a trip to the hospital to get my eyes flushed out. I didn't do that a second time. what a mess.

    What a mess. Sad to see all the rivers edge dumps. You have to wonder what people were thinking back then to just dump everything in rivers abd streams. Guess they weren't. Loved watching the cat walk back and forth on the porch rail.

We’ve drive by it dozens of times when I’d go over to visit. He’d always tell me about there China! He has whole sets he bought over the years.
    Hey Chigg Dawn dish soap works great for removing grease from you and your clothes! But I suggest finding someone with garage shop rag washer for the first run cause you don’t want to use your washer at home! Leaves them a mess usually!! Great video!!
