MegaSpeed Canada 2013

Moxie and I traveled up to Ontario Canada with the crew from Rad Rides for Canada's largest Custom Car show MegaSpeed. This is just a small sample of the vehicles at this show. It was a pleasure to hang with Troy, Jack, Moose and Danny all weekend (Danny is the guy who pilots the Blowfish)


Here is a link to the small sample of vehicle photos I took at MegaSpeed:

Making Laundry Soap

We've tried to make liquid laundry soap in the past but with no success, we have been making and using powder soap for about 3 years but really want to try liquid so we are trying again.
Here is the ingredients:
This makes 1/2 Gallon of concentrate, that's a full 128 loads of laundry!
1 bar Fels Naptha
1 cup 20 Mule Team Borax
1 cup Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (NOT BAKING SODA!!)
4 cups of hot water
2 quart mason jars

Grate the Fels Naptha
Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil in a sauce pan add the Fels Naptha slowly steering the water to dissolve the soap.

Mix the Borax and WASHING soda together and slowly add it to the sauce pan making sure it completely dissolves with no grit at the bottom of the pan.

Pour the pan into the two mason jars splitting the liquid equally, add HOT water to the shoulders of the jars and cap and flip the jars over on to the caps.

Let sit 4 to 5 hours

After it has set it will separate and that's when the fun begins, the mason jars fit on a blender. Gently whip the soap until it is uniform and smooth and its now ready to use.

A table spoon per wash load is recommended.

Brushmasters

This year I was involved with the Brushmasters at the World of Wheels more than I was in the past, I met some awesome people and learned a great deal from some of the legends. What a great bunch of people and absolutely no attitudes, what a pleasure!!! I made some great friends and look forward to being part of this again. The event this year generated over $70,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana this past weekend!

Never measure yourself by someone else. It could make you become conceited or discouraged.
