08OCT23 - I needed to mow the back lawn yesterday after getting rained out the other day but there was still a lot of standing water so I decided to give Ruby a much-needed bath. With the oppressive heat and the deck project, I had been neglecting her for some time and she was pretty dirty.

It took about an hour JUST to do the wheels and tires, they're so much larger than Sarah's. Got the gear out, moved Sarah to the front, and got after it. Grabbed this shot after letting the foam do its work for about ten minutes.

Rinsed her off, handwashed her, another rinse and then, a final rinse using the CR Spotless softener rig (to reduce water spots.) Pulled her back into the garage, gave her a blow dry, then moved her back over into her normal spot. Probably took a total of three hours or so, it's about like doing two tall cars but I got it done and hopefully, I can mow today.
