Having access to a spray booth where you can control the environment of the paint process is key. I didn't have that so was trying to turn out product in the garage and using well water for washing that has a lot of mineral deposits. I just couldn't get it right. If you are doing the prep which is the most labor intensive part of the job you can control to quality of the surface to your satisfaction and reduce the cost significantly. Besides the cost of the materials which are expensive if the prep work is done right and the painter knows what he is doing setting up for spray the labor to spray should be nominal. But , they will charge what they think you are willing to pay. Last time shop quoted $300 to spray 3 pieces. We settled for $150. I thought that was too much.

Alrighty then. I'll be ready.

It's a lot of work and after doing about five total trial and error paint jobs the last time I ended up taking the removed pre prepped pieces to a shop to spray. Even then they had to do several of the pieces several times before it was right. Unless painting is really your passion I suggest letting a trusted pro do it. You can save money by doing as much of the disassembly and prep work as possible.

We get 12 tags down here in Georgia, two have to be bucks. Doe days all season long. Here is one I killed from my primary hunting stand.

Soon as I close on this house I'm gonna get me some Generac.

Wish you would hurry your arse up. Now 67 hours without power and counting. 200 lbs of meat in the freezer and contents of two refrigerators ruined. Bored to death sitting in the dark. Even though I was given a pass at work, I came in to charge my phones.

49.5 hours and counting. That more than a whole work week by 9.5 hours.

41 hours no power.

41 hours still no power.

During the endless coverage of Hurricane Irma, I heard a report about the Waffle House index. Evidently FEMA uses amongst other things to determine the effects of severe weather, the Waffle House index. This index is based on rather or not Waffle House is closed or not in any given area. If they are, you are in a red zone. If they are opened but serving a reduced menu you are in a orange or yellow zone. If they are open and serving a full menu you are in a green zone. If you are in a red zone, that is a very very bad thing and you are probably also under marshal law. Well evidently I'm in a green zone because my Waffle House is open and serving a full menu albeit they seemed to be slammed by Waffle House standards. My power is still out after 19 hours but at least my Waffle House is up and running. Looks like scattered, smothered and covered for me for a while longer.

For the two free days off work. I got phone call, text messages and emails yesterday informing me that Governor Deal had graciously given me two free days off work today and tomorrow due to the residual effects of Hurricane Irma. So what if it was raining and blowing all day at least I didn't have to go in. I was pretty much getting caught up on my binge watching until the power blinked off about A hour ago. Found a tree down at the end of my road that was just big enough to snag the power lines. Besides the leaf debris all over my yard there was no other damage. So, now I'm wondering what folks did before electricity. With all the storm related tree damage I'm afraid it may be days before the power comes back on. Better get off the phone and save batteries.

Told you they would lance/aspirate it. Hope it heals soon Oh yea,....

If you would have let me lance it like I suggested it would have been healed up by now. Bet that's what the Doctor will do. Could have saved you a few bucks. Just saying

They could visit Oak Island in Nova Scotia and tell us what is up with the money pit dig since that show has evidently gone off the air.

If HD goes that far do you think they may just go ahead and do a V4 platform? This kinda reinforces some of my core beliefs. No one knows which way the worm is going to turn. Never say never. For years I proudly proclaimed that I would never be a Hardley rider. Maybe I should rethink that as well.

Prayers up

Or 21 with 47 years of experience.

You have probably been exposed to #28 which was equally as treacherous as #30 . There are on the same ridge at the bottom of dead man's turn on the up hill side of Blood Mountain. The rest of the park is in the bottom land around the lake or the gently rolling wooded hills for the most part. About Superman, While I did have the suit with me, there were no phone booths. There were shower house restrooms, but the floors were wet and dirty plus there was no privacy with all the campers both young and old scurrying about. I guess I could have gone off into the woods but there were also bears. I did try the suit on before leaving the hacienda just to make sure it didn't smell like dog. It didn't but the zipper was not as cooperative as I remember it being. I'm sure my girth may have expanded rather then the waist line shrinking. Then at the most entertaining opportunity Bubba, showed up and took the stage. And truth be told I was so busy laughing at Bubba that Superman's appearance seemed insignificant at the time. After all Bubba was much better known and appreciated then Superman was with this crowd since he has been a regular part of the entertainment of Vogels past. To make a long short story longer, Superman didn't make an appearance this time. Sorry for any disappointment this may have caused you or anyone else.

Dag nabbit, we could have got that shot to go viral....... Or maybe featured on Ridiculousness

Sorry about that, must have been distracted.

Or Buford Pusser

They must be the only ones available because no wants to mountain climb to get to them. Not saying just saying.

No one got a picture of the scorpion visitor.

That's what I said. And two four wheeled convertibles.

Sorry for not reporting sooner. I made it home at around noon. Less than 2 hours.
