Well, after make these posts this AM, I went out and scratched the finished primer in the truck bed trying to remove it to paint it. After that my compressor strated giving me fits. Its 20 years old and usually works with a second newer 60 gal 5 HP compressor, which broke two weeks ago.

I decided I was very irratible and came inside almost immediately after shooting just a basecoat of paint on the front the bed that goes up against the cab. Just to seal it.

Now I am inside, resting as I start 6 days straight, all 12 hours days at work.

so today is a rest day now. I figure 2 and a 2 1/2 hours on moparts and then its a cigar and a scotch out front sitting next tot he sprinklers.

It helps that my wife cut the grass yesterady (18000 sq ft) and now I have some free time for
a cigar.

But, it snows here in the winter and I can paint, so I try and get that stuff done in the summer.

I used to carry 40-60 cases in Detectives, running my butt off. I have now simply transfered that to cars and have actually slowed down over the past three or so years.
