  1. Headache racks are like totally tubular.
  2. Yourself might enjoy taking a flying leap at the moon, or not.
  3. Getcha pretzels and weenies while they're hot !!!!!!!!
  4. I've never used it, as I rely on smelly old-school solvent-based finishing materials. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ACRYLIC PAINTS FOR HOBBY USE OTHER THAN ARTISTS' COLORS HOWEVER...this company manufactures a line of acrylic paints for leather, and ALSO offers two hardener additives for enhancing adhesion to hard plastics and increasing film toughness. I have no idea if they'll work in whatever acrylic paint you're using, but they're not very expensive, so some experimentation might get you what you need...or not. https://angelusdirect.com/products/gac-200?srsltid=AfmBOooCnYg9JaWbADqBDMVScF1Ld1SZSlc3oGzoC6KWWIiOw2oaNX-o&variant=4842818693 https://angelusdirect.com/products/angelus-2-hard-film-hardener?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=e5c5d9e52&pr_rec_pid=5528926725&pr_ref_pid=1575865733&pr_seq=uniform&variant=17396484549
  5. Went out for a pack of cigs, I took a look at the open highway, then left on a quest to see what was over the next hill, and the one after that, and the one after that...
  6. Yeah...but then you'd have to deal with the power-mad Karens in HR.
  7. ...gainfully employed at your store.
  8. "Heaven" probably won't let me in, but I don't feel like I've been bad enough to get sent to the other place, so maybe they'll just let me blow around the universe as cosmic wind.
  9. Sadly it's not just FedEx that does stuff like this. Blame a failed "education" system that produces graduates with poor reading-comprehension and critical-thinking skills, and a culture that accepts constant distraction by "smart phone" rather than focus on the task at hand. If properly trained and implemented , AI should be good at reducing the frequency of this particular kind of problem, but it's disturbing we now feel the need to rely on machines to do something so simple correctly.
  10. Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby?
  11. If any of you guys like calm improv-style jazz with muted trumpet and bass and piano and brushed drums, kinda like you'd hear in a classy restaurant, here's 11 hours of it. it may be AI (I don't know) but I like it. A lot.
  12. Car damage, even very minor but deep scratches, and how hard, time consuming, skill-heavy, and expensive it is to repair 10 seconds worth of inconsiderate stupid attention lapse seems to never occur to some folks....like one of my exes who had zero clue and tended to ruin everything she touched...and then they get all offended if you point it out.
  13. You tube has several videos about the process, including how to put the tools and materials (or "kit") together yourself. I've watched several, some are better than others, but you can get a good overview, enough to decide if you want to tackle it. It really isn't all that difficult. Model RR guys were doing their own fine detail parts in the 1950s. Here's one vid:
  14. Just not feeling it this AM, but duty calls ("duty" in this case being able to continue paying the bills). Bye.
  15. Two sets of Dremel motor brushes to see if I can come up with a set that will work in my older one... Interestingly, the carbon parts are shorter than the worn out ones that came out of it.
