Dring the cold weather Frank thought the cow barn would be a lot warmer place to park his car over night than his unheated garage so that's where he stored it. He never figured on the 'Holstein 48" aroma that is ever present in every cow barn. Any suggestions you folks might have to offer on how he can get that pungent odor out of his chariot will be appreciated. In the meantime, Frank carries a supply of clothes pins^for his riders.
