once more with feeling

heya

yeah, go on then. it's getting (at time of writing, look you see) close to the end of the year, so why not, another look at (yet) another car wash. in the greater good and glory, of course, of Commodore 64 mode. 

once again, as is pretty much custom or standard for these posts, i have no idea why these looks are quite popular among(st) you, dear readers, but here you are. more lookers than readers, i suspect, as yet again there is probably not so much i can say what i have not already. 


as you can see it was a pretty clear, blue sky (as in actual, not thinking) day when i went. sunny, but not so warm. rather cold, as it happens, with that icy, crisp (hello, Faye) bite to the air, threatening colder times to come. which, at time of writing, with some snow around, are decidedly here. 

why was i at a car wash facility again? do i really need to answer that? i am fairly sure, indeed confident, that you would be able to work out why someone would wish to visit a car wash. although, in this post-Breaking Bad era, maybe not. so, to clarify, i went to get my vehicle clean(ed), so that it was not all dirty and was in fact all shiny. 


the image above, if you were wondering (or are at all interested), is of them bit massive soft floppy brush things, moving towards me, inside the vehicle, to do all that great washing stuff. work a right treat they do, and deliver a tremendous performance. better than what i could do, at the least. 

but, be content not with just a still image of them. here, below, is a bit of animated video gif stuff of the very same brushes, about to do their thing. 


dear me, what did i take so many images for, and why have i added them all. well, in respect of the former, or first, point, there is not really all that much one can do whilst sat in a vehicle during a car wash. one can only sit and contemplate life choices for so long. if i were not taking these images, well, likely i should just be sat bored. like, i suppose, the majority of people visiting a similar facility, if not the very same one. 

for some reason it feels like a fair while since i have included some "side window" shots from inside the car wash, so let me rectify, or address, this peculiar feeling. on the off chance anyone is interested. 


a particular fear, and there can be not all that many, which strikes one when in the car wash is to wonder if the windows what can wind down are all wound up correctly. some nerves can strike, for due to the natural laws of water, just a slight gap could see you get drowned or something. doing anything about it is tricky, for if one (to be safe) tries to see if the window is up, they may well inadvertently open it a bit when it was not to begin with. that could get a bit messy. if not messy then, certainly, soggy. 

sure, indeed i have taken an image of the other side window. actually, no, it is an animated gif thing. with the added bonus (if you are into such) of the big floppy brush thing for that side of a vehicle going right ahead and working its merry magic, in a cleaning capacity.


well, there you have it. as there is now, at time of publication, just (slightly) south of three weeks left of this year, i would not expect another car wash update until a new, the next, year has dawned. if you feel you are missing out, please feel free to browse this blog, as there are several posts on this subject. 




be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
