    This is golden truth, because the one thing that will clean it out of your pores and wrinkles, is food oil and grease. :) "Got grimy hands that soap won't clean? Here, try fresh French Fries. Guaranteed to take the black off your hands and into your mouth." :eek::biggrin_2551::biggrin_255::biggrin_25514:

    But NOT so you can easily just use it. That's why I was doing it, so I could turn it into something I could use however I want. I'm trying to setup a home base server with my info for back up and storage and retrieval so I can use my puter on the truck or the phone to add new info to. Taking information from a web page is not just cut and paste and the time involved manually would be a pain, even though I've done it. I've learned to use a few new tools that helps speed the process up, so while I'm still home before I hit the road again (hope) I'll have the stuff to carry with me. I figured I'd need that after the last place I worked turned down loads where I was stuck down in Texas waiting for them to find me something back that way, when I saw loads that were going west or northwest to Washington and the dispatcher's response to me was, "I don't know of any freight to get in that area"... I'm like what?!? I know where some is.
    :biggrin_2551:
    So now I want this to carry my own freight location system on me, in case it's needed like this example or...I lease earlier than I expected to and can hit my own places. Like I said in an earlier post, when I started compiling this list, I found a lot of the places I was aware of either changed hands or disappeared...so it needed to be done NOW...anyway. :)

    It works pretty decent. I mostly worked on cars and with the tight spaces I couldn’t use gloves especially with my fat fingers. But like @AModelCat i used the nitrile gloves for changing fluids.

    I usually grab some atf if it’s handy to take the first layer off. If not I use gasoline or starting fluid, then follow up with hand cleaner and a brush.

    My hands may look rough, but I’m the guy rubbing my hands on dinner plates and silverware at the restaurant, if it feels like sandpaper it goes back lol. I can’t stand dirty dishes….
