Well, it looks to me like it is car oil related. Its rust colored. Its everywhere really.
Lots of dark stains on the concrete. Black, rust, dingy. Old. Im not sure what I am expecting here......?..... A new slab of concrete to park the cars....lol.
That is not going to happen so.....

I used a solution to scrub and the solution made a white circle in the rust color.....
Things may start to look worse before they look better. Its a PROJECT.

Good advice guys. I'll go to the shop en route and get a soft drink. It's sunny here today and I'm sure we'll sit in the garden and my brother will be drinking. So if I don't have anything that would make staying sober harder for me .

Wishing everyone an awesomely sober day!

Meant AF not AS. On the bus, cruising right along, enjoying the scenery.

Yeah, maybe plan to bring food, too. Or plan to order delivery food.

Ya know drinkers don't like to eat and ruin the high and/or they wait a long time to eat... and people trying to quit NEED to eat - so don't let yourself get hungry.

Oil on concrete is not easy but if you spread some Cat litter (quite a lot of it) over the oil stain and soak it with thinners, that should lift most of the oil out of the concrete and it should look better even if not perfect.

Our grandsons are here for an extended visit so it is hard to keep with the Sober Bus activities. We are busy and tired (biological clocks are a good thing &#128514 but we are having a blast.


Bim, my grandsons and I just watched My Octopus Teacher; they were completely captivated by the film; they were both a bit teary eyed at the end. We had such a great discussion about octopus and marine life afterwards. Thank you so much, Bim, for bringing this film to my attention and, thus, this wonderful shared experience with my grandsons. They now want to read Soul of an Octopus. I cannot thank you enough.
