Fred,
I appreciate your checking with me first before accepting Jim’s request to have me polish his posterior. As you so accurately mentioned, being caught in a downpour for a few hours will keep you busy for quite some time cleaning away all the dirt and grime.
I am firmly convinced that if Jim was with us on that trip, he would have required extensive therapy to overcome the trauma he would have endured after that rain storm. Mark, bless his soul, helped me clean up the body of my car while waiting for the ferry and Eileen had to hand feed me three Bud Lights at the end of the day just to get me to settle down. I’m not near as meticulous as Jim, so I can only imagine the horror if he were there.
As for Jim’s request to have his ”toosh” polished when he passes on to that big Cobra bash in the sky; me thinks I shall pass. I do not intend to completely ignore his request as he is a friend and I would not wish to dishonor our relationship.
Having given Jim’s request much thought, I’m going to order a 6” orbital polisher from Harbor Freight and pick up an 8 oz. can of Meguiar’s Hot Rims Mag & Aluminum Polish from Schucks. As Jim is not a large man, I believe the 8 oz. can will be sufficient. For those of you who know Jim far better than me, please contact me prior to Jim’s passing if additional polish will be required. In addition, I have notified the local funeral home of Jim’s request and have prepaid, at great personal expense, the employees to complete this task. They have also been requested to contact Fred to work out the logistics of propping Jim up next to those Webbers.
