No I did not go to work with Pat today. I'm referring to the trunk of my car.

Apparently the motor oil caps need to be checked to make sure they are actually closed. 2 of the 5 Liter jars that I purchased spilled in the trunk. I had maybe 5 Liters total in the trunk. Today I set out on the adventure of cleaning the trunk.

The first step was to dump out the Kitty litter spread out to absorb the original (small) oil spill. This actually required 2 people. Pat had to help me carry the liner over to the dumpster. As the kitty litter was being scraped off we noticed Oil pouring off of the liner. It was that saturated. Gross.

We then set it aside and worked on cleaning the standing oil from the spare indent. Yes there was standing oil there too. We got as much of the kitty litter out of the as we could then put down super absorbed cloths to get the rest of the oil out.

I then leaned the liner against the wall atop a layer of plastic then a layer of newspaper beneath it. Lots of Oil leaked off. Enough that refreshed the newspaper to make sure it was not leaking and to give the new oil a place to go. In all it was a fairly successful day of work. After another day standing upright I should have it to a point that washing the liner will be the only way to get the rest of it out.

I have no Idea how that will work.

I should have taken photo's, what a missed opportunity.
