Gotta get it to a car wash. The only obstacle is this damn Covid-19 thing and my 8 vulnerabilities to the virus that scare us to death. We could wear our masks and some cheap plastic gloves but we'd still worry. My wife does that when she grocery shops. I don't leave the house except for my three times a week visits to the hospital for life saving treatments and the one time I went to Costco to get the nose guard on my glasses replaced because the optometry department at the VA hospital is closed until further notice. Gotta fix that so my nose won't get gouged. That's it for my leaving the house in the last three months. We don't even visit our closest relatives. Almost forgot, we opened the door once when an Uber driver brought us our dinner but my wife answered the door wearing her mask and gloves. Today she's stopping by Papa Murphy's in Lake Oswego but she'll be wearing her mask and disposable plastic gloves.
More than you ever wanted to know about my daily activities.
 
Be safe, stay healthy and get your ass out there and clean your ride so you can share a picture! I’m going to go wash mine right now in fact to share a picture with you!

I have the perfect solution. You and I trade cars and I'll break it in for you.

I'm unable to wash any part of the car myself. The other day my wife and I grilled on hunk of beast on the Weber and I almost fell down walking the 20 feet across our deck to get to the patio where the Weber was. I had my wife on one side and a cane in the other arm all the while.
A few days ago my wife asked me to look at the malfunctioning garbage disposal under the sink. I had trouble getting down on my knees and then it took me a full ten minutes to get back up on my feet. I can't get out to my flag pole to lower the flag to half staff when appropriate. My wife is too small and worn out from taking care of me to do that chore, so it's left flying at full staff.
I'm pretty much physically useless.
One thing I can do, I can sit at my desk and type. I'm also good at lounging on the couch watching TV. When I shower, I have to sit in a shower chair and then I'm exhausted when I'm through. Brushing my teeth leaves me exhausted as well.
Washing the car is something I use to love to do. I won't even ask my wife to wash it because she's tiny at 115 pounds and spending all of her energy in her 70s trying to take care of me. For example, I take about two dozen pills every day. She makes up my 7 day pill box including three five pills that have to be broken in half. She helps me send in my vitals every morning by a specialized piece of equipment hooked up to our telephone line. She helps me take my five shots every day. She does all the house work. She has to help me dress and undress including helping me with my CPAP machine. She helps me shower, brush my teeth and a hundred other chores.
Perhaps I'm going in to too much detail. Maybe I just should have said my wife and I are unable to wash the car.
We're going to have to pay for someone to wash our car at the Beaverton Car Wash and Detail Center.
