East of 5 on the hill above the Mission Bay - the LJ webcam camera above a stairwell on LJ Beach and Tennis club property - I could probably get one of the maintenance guys to wipe it clean for 5 bucks....

What I was getting at was if you're out there one day and you have a way, I'm sure people would appreciate your wiping it.

Took a shot at cleaning the camera this morning on my way into work. Picture is definitely improved, but there seems to be some small tough to remove junk on the left side still...

I've done it in the past a few times, now someone else needs to take a turn. Don't be shy, you only live 5 minutes from the launch Old Man.

Its very easy to do. Jump right in and become part of the BWE Community

1. Get a Large Super Soaker

2. Bring along a 5 gal. bucket full of fresh water.
(Rain X bug wash in the water is a nice touch)

3. Pull your truck directly under the camera and stand in the Bed so you are close to it.

4. Fill Super Soaker with water and Douche the camera lens several times.
(Repeat several times and it will be perfectly clean)

Give us a report on how it went.

I actually used one of the old fashioned water fire extinguishers I had kicking around. Worked pretty good, but the addition of the bug wash is a great idea...

Is our rare "Protected LJ Coastal WSB Spider still there??...:confused:.

I hope you had the proper training and permits so not to harm the nesting habitat of our beloved spider.. and I assume you wore the correct bio suit so not to bring harmful dangerous bacteria to our mascots habitat.. :cool:

You did clear this with the MLPA???:eek:

Good job, now I can stop cleaning my moniter on the computer....:D
