    Dodgy smell...

    Hey - don't dis the pig - he's very sensitive about his weight and body odor - and anyway, he rides up front with me and the smells coming from the back. Shifty - it clears when its on hot, but does mist up over night. I think i may have tracked it down to the carpet in the back - can't think...
