Water trickled over the curves in rivulets, found creases and folds and caressed them tenderly - Their path erratic, governed by the shape of the wet body, before dripping to the floor in puddles; droplets clung to those curves like a lovers embrace, there they glistened, the light giving the appearance of captured stars sparkling within each tiny droplet. I admired the sensual movement of water over that body, the way it dripped off the peaks and trickled through the troughs...Then I applied the foam, a lot of foam - all over.
I lovingly and gently washed every square inch of that body from top to tail, front and back and, when done I dried it off, each sweep of the towel a pleasure...Afterwards I was sated; spent. I needed to nap and regain my strength. original im src
It's been a while since I washed the Big Dog, my four wheel drive
It's not that I'm lazy, just that we've had crazy November weather and it's rained off and on over virtually the entire month. It just doesn't make sense to spend three hours giving it a wash when it's going to rain in a day or so. OK, maybe it's also because I've been a little lazy. I have an excuse though, my new job has required a lot of energy and focus so coming home to give the Big Dog a bath didn't seem very appealing. Today though...No excuses.
Big Dog is a big-ass vehicle in length and width and as I've had the suspension lifted to give additional clearance for off-roading it also has a lot of height; it tops out at 2.15m high (critical to know for undercroft car parks), which is a smidge over seven feet, so getting up there to wash and dry it requires a step ladder and that takes time and is annoying. I had to get it done today though as I'm one of those men who likes a clean vehicle. Sure, I'm happy to get down and dirty in the wilderness but when driving around town I like to have a sparkling clean vehicle as I feel it's a representation of myself.
Three hours and seventeen minutes is how long it took me today; I timed it. That's a full wash, including wheels, door-jambs, grille, bull-bar and the interior. I didn't wash the wheel-arches like I usually would as I left my wheel-arch cleaning brush at my other house. Fuckety fuck! I'm not very happy about it but I'll deal with it.
The images above shows it complete minus the tyre treatment I usually give it, which I have now since done - Yes, the Autoglym tyre dressing was at my other place also. No matter, it's done now and the Big Dog looks pretty damned dashing.
Pornography at Bunnings
After three hours of car washing I was pretty tired and my back was hurting; I felt like a nap but a G-dog's work is never done...I was off to the hardware store to look at pornography.
That means tools folks. I am sizing up a power mitre-saw and circular saw, both cordless, with the intention of getting them but there's a bit of research to do first...And who doesn't like tool-porn right? I had a Cornish pasty (nowhere near as good as the real thing in Cornwall) for lunch at the hardware store café, Bunnings, for those Australian's who will know what I mean, then wandered about in the massive warehouse full of porn; tool porn I mean of course.
After I got home I did the tyre dressing to finish off the Big Dog and...Yep, took a nap to recover my energy. I love afternoon naps although don't get to do it so often...When I get the chance I take it. I threw on some instrumental music and snoozed. Lovely.
Relaxed weekend
That's about it so far this weekend folks. I'm making southern chicken tender wraps with slaw for dinner tonight, served with some thick-cut potato chips on the side; I know, right? Yum! I'll probably watch a movie tonight and do some reading later on. A fairly typical sort of evening and nothing too exciting.
I've got a few plans for Sunday at this stage, but I'll talk about that some other time as this post is getting long.
Drop me a line below and let me know what your weekend is all about this week, or just do a post in THE WEEKEND community. Also, if you're not sure what to post about you can take a look at the #weekend-engagement topics for this weekend W-E77 here and get involved. You might get curated and win some hive as well.
Have a good one y'all and also...I hope y'all didn't mind my little bit of creative writing at the top of this post. I like to have some fun occasionally. A bit click-baity I know, but so what? 🤣
Take care folks...G-dog is out of here!

Looks nice and clean! Had to giggle a bit here:
LOL :)
My weekend is probably filled with creativity and creating content about it. After being absent for 3 maybe 4 weeks due to an unfortunate real-life situation, I truly had to get myself together and get back into the content creation. I mean taking some time off to heal is good, I needed it, but it was time to get back into the saddle. I've now been rocking it for 6 days and truly feel inspired throughout the day. So many crafts and content lined up, with the difference that this time I'm actually publishing it instead of leaving things in draft (lol).
Our home office is used by boyfriend during the week, so I'm going to make the most out of it and try to create some content ahead for next week as well. On top of that, if the weather allows it, we will probably head out to do big grocery shopping and maybe grab a bite somewhere.
Have a nice weekend!
Hey, I'm sorry for the late reply...Damn it I missed replying to this comment. despite voting it.
It sounds like you've had some recent situations to deal with; it happens to all. Sometimes we need to focus on the real world and that will take us away from the other less important things.
I'm hoping the content-creating happened and you managed that big grocery shop (and snacks happened!) 😀
Hey there this happens, no worries :) thanks for stopping by today..
Yeah, real life wasn't fun for about a month, to be honest, but I'm very thankful that I got to rebalance myself now and get things done. For a while, I was afraid that I could not get back in the flow..
Content creation, check
Groceries, check
Didn't eat outside but we had a gourmet dinner at home instead (yum)
Hopefully, you had a good weekend so far as well! Enjoy ;)
I get it, but am glad you pushed through.
Jeez! You really cracked it this weekend adding a check next to your three tasks. Mission success!
Lol, I'm glad I did because my throat is starting to hurt more by the day and each day I think shit, I hope I won't be out of order for a few days. Trying to get ahead of things.. And on top of that, during the weekend I can use the home office, during the week, I can't which makes me less productive haha.
Maybe you need to commandeer the office during the week! Build it into a fortress and defend it!
I think it's been a bit tricky washing Big Dog, if every time you try, it starts raining afterwards! Any particular reason for taking the time?
My weekend will be relaxed, I'll be with family and we'll have dinner together. I've decided to participate in the contests here at HIVE so I've started several projects, maybe I'll have a chance to win! I'm also going to exercise, walk or run to keep up the good healthy habits!
It sounds like you have a good weekend planned; dinner with family is always a good time. I hope you enjoy it. 😊
Nice... Bait and Switch.
Freight Brokers are the only ones that do it better than You...
We are FILTHY here also. There is Gonna be some soapy water in our near future...
Get that dirty clean bro...I bet you're like me and get some tunes on as well right? Makes it more enjoyable.
Weirdo...
Juss kidding. Weird that you said that tho. I just mentioned to @pooky-jax a few days ago. That I had been outside and working around the house for a few days in silence...
I mean I almost always have some music on. Strange days...
Weird is the new black.
Hahaha - seeing the cover photo I was actually expecting another storytime by G-Dog, not a carwash 😆. Personally, I prefer the techy kind of porn shops. Tool-porn - men... - LOL.
Haha, I thought I'd raise the heat on a basic post about washing my truck. I don't mind techy-porn but tool-porn is where it's at for me...I like to work with my hands so tools come in handy. Did you know I developed the first flint blade? Yeah, I'm that old! 🤪
Flint blade, huh? Were you trying to recreate the Stone Age?😆
This post was pure pornography, from the tittle, through photos all the way down and deep inside (no gay intended).
My car has been sitting inside the garage for years, maybe it's time for some pornography around here too \o\
Hardware stores and tools = Porn
You tell me! I'm watching a bunch of cabin in the woods construction videos lately. Damn all the tools those people use; there's not enough money for tools \o\
A click-bait truly...😅 I am having a relaxed weekend or rather, a relaxed Saturday. A lot of rest and just basic chores with some web/hive surfing. I ll also attempt this weekend post engagement. The options are so interesting. I am tempted to write on all 4.
The vehicle image looks like mine... 😂
Relaxed weekend are the best weekends.
Yeah...
At least you can wash n wax, our weathers catastrophic 98mph winds, try keeping a bucket grounded in that, plus we could be blown away :( nice to see the motor shining
Wind makes for a very unpleasant car washing experience. Not something I'd want to be doing.
I'm glad to have the LC gleaming, but those wheel arches need some love.
Good good, yes it's gone completely crazy here, garage door was blown in, and neighbours new motor crushed by Tree
Madness!
Now Snow, you couldn't make it up
Lol...You need a holiday in the land down under! A break from all the weather shenanigans.
Yes...yes we do :)
It has been long I did this stuffs😹
Nope .!
Gonna have to pass on the shower bro...
No Homo..!
OK. Now that I responded to the Title. I will read this post to see WTF you wanna shower with a KrazzyTrukker!?!
I hope She has a BIG BROWN BEAVER..?
Well, the title was aimed at the ladies Bro...You took it to where it wasn't intended to go. Weirdo.
Lmao...
Weirdo is a term of endearment. I love it when I get a rise out of you. And again... No homo
G-Dog be like...
I don't trust people unless they have a little bit of a weirdo-nature.
OH MY GOD. Galen fuckin K P. Bwahahahahahahah! This is so good. You had me goin there for a minute. Also, you win. You are a better writer than I. I could never have come up with
or
Are you kidding me? I could actually visualize those details. This was great. "rivulets." You sneaky little dog.
Haha, just the old G-dog having a bit of fun. It makes a rather nondescript post about watching my truck a little more titillating. All that clinging, moistness and those rivulets don't you know.
I wish you a happy weekend sir.

Oh! He's one beautiful big dog :D We call ours "cow"
You had a busy day bathing him but very worth it :) Your creative way of writing is quite funny too, lol!
I like to have a bit of fun sometimes, hence the opening paragraphs. 😉
And you also shared that fun to others :) And your lead image even was a bait, lol!
Ah yes, that image. I wonder how many saw the image and clicked...Then became disappointed. 😂
Haha! Well, sorry for them, lol!
Yep, suckers! 🤪
A longing behind the steam formed by the water curves is like a passion love..
You bet it is! 😊
