Let's start over......
Kinda funny, yesterday with it so warm and humid I went to harbor freight and grabbed some moving blankets for the cars incase of hail. Decided to put em on the Suv, Cavalier and wife's car last night to cover the windshield and hood. Wife looked at me like I was nuts but it paid off this morning. I think we had a 20 percent chance of storms last night

Anyone have any suggestions for getting a food smell out of the truck? Yesterday I was transporting a massive tray of collard greens for a luncheon, and gobs of the juices leaked out all over the floorboards of my back seat. Luckily, my Weathertechs saved the day, and they caught almost all of the juices! I literally had a pool of juice sloshing around in my back seat being contained by the mats! Eek! Anyway, only a small amount made its way over the top of the mats and onto the carpet. I cleaned that one carpet spot, soaked up the majority of the juices with an entire roll of paper towels, and then I pulled the mat out very carefully, dumped the remaining juices, and washed it off with a water hose. I left the truck outside with all four doors open all day yesterday to air it out, and so far most of the smell is gone. But every now and then I climb into the truck and it smells like a southern cookout
Any suggestions?
Here's the mat after I soaked a lot of it up

The rain is coming down in buckets again here on the north side of Houston. The wife and about a dozen other teachers are stranded at school for the night since the roads are impassable because of high water. Fortunately, I picked the boy up early because of an awards ceremony at school, otherwise he'd be stuck there with his mom!
I took a drunk girl home from a high school party in my '72 Monte Carlo and she puked on my carpet before I could get her back to her house. Any time I got in the car after that (especially on a warm summer day) there was always a hint of puke in the air. Not sure how puke compares to collard green juice when it comes to staying power, but I know someone who is about to find out.....
