   I woke up at 8:00 am and started cleaning out the car and it’s 8:49 pm and I’m still cleaning out the car.

   I got so much stuff done today avoiding the car. Did a lot of bicycle maintenance. But also the car was a lot of work, call it 4 solid hours. All six traction sandbags started leaking at the same time so after I took those out, I wound up filling my (smallish) shop vac, twice

   Anyway, please clap.

     Also as much as I have been in denial about it all day, the smell is getting worse, and I think something has crawled into my garage and died

     If I am lucky it’s in the rafters because I store nothing up there. Can’t check until later because the ladder is in the house. But if it’s there, it should be easy to check and dispose of.

     Or maybe I’m unlucky….

     I think I identified what part of garage the smell is coming from though, so I have that going for me at least.

     We were pretty sure something died in our garage. It smelled like rot and death.

     I did a major clean-out a month or two ago, and found the culprit: some cans of terrible beer I bought as slug bait had been sitting there for…oh, ten years at least, and a couple of them had either been crushed or exploded in the heat and soaked into some potting soil.
