Normal is a setting on your washing machine. Only you can define your normal behavior. I would say you found something and and a way to bring you joy and happiness without intruding on anyone else's rights. So rock on.....and that will be $50.00 for the conseling session...that is what I NORMALLY charge.

interior and wiped down. Pulled it in, lifted hood to cool engine
compartment, cracked a beer, did a double check, closed up
shop.
Is that routine normal, ****, or somewhere in between?

Only thing I find not normal is that you have ONE beer only and after the work, not before: SURE YOU ARE ABNORMAL

Sounds routine to me.
On our way back from the cruise to Whidbey Island today, wifey wanted to stop by the store to pick up a few things. I dropped her off in front of the store and told her to call me on the cell when she was done. I went to the far side of the lot and took out the rags and the NXT Speed Detailer. Had the car looking like it was just waxed by time she was done. All I had to do getting home was to touch up the wheels and clean the glass.
Perfectly normal behavior.

Totally abnormal! I don't drink beer - but I substitute a good cigar while I'm admiring the lines of the beautiful C5!
The vette must stay clean!!

Not to worry, we Washingtonians are allowed to wash our cars both before and after the cruise and still be normal because we only get half the decent car wash days that the rest of the world gets.
