I watched the King and Queen-ish come out on the balcony, and all I kept thinking was "does this mean there'll be six more weeks of winter?"

Probably be fine, possibly easier. It's permissible to put fillers over the "professional" bodyshop rattlecan DTM primers (at least that's the current understanding from the paint reps here). EDIT: Scuffing the surface with 180 grit is recommended before filler is applied if the DTM primer is fully dry. EDIT 2: DTM rattlecan primers are very helpful in a bodyshop, as small areas of "open" metal work (bare steel) can be easily protected from flash rusting using the rattlecan product, as opposed to having to mix and spray a two-part product like PPG's DP epoxy, which takes additional time and can raise material cost and the potential for waste significantly.

You have aroused my curiosity, so I'll be trying some myself. The primary stink from polyester resin (the liquid part of "bondo") is styrene monomer, and there are regulations regarding its atmospheric release under industrial conditions. Styrene-monomer is a major component of polyester resin, and can be used as a thinner for polyester-resin-based products, like bondo, in small quantities. I see the product above is marked as "direct to metal" (DTM). DTM rattlecan primers are fairly newish in the consumer market, and they do smell different, though I haven't ever looked into the chemical makeup (we use them frequently under spot repairs and on small fabrication jobs in the body shop). I'll be investigating further...

Cat-Women of the Moon is a cinematic masterpiece that shouldn't be missed.

No pitcher showing from here.

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!! SCARY BANGY THINGS IN THE HANDS OF CRAZED ANIMALS!!!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Crosby, Stills, and Nash's first album will always remind me of the best and worst days of my life, especially Lady of the Island and Guinnevere.

How about sweaty velvet Elvises that have been used as ponchos?

I know the feeling well, which is why I end up editing most of my own posts when I go back and read 'em.

Ray's on the River has been one of my favorite local restaurants since the mid-1980s.

Don't look now, but that's pretty prevalent on a large percentage of builds presented here.

OK. So mom passed, he gets the whole house, and he's still on the dole.

Mom passed, so he had to move out of the basement? Or did he run afoul of some arcane requirement for remaining on the dole?

Wow. That is certainly going to be one spectacular model. Nothing like going out with a bang. Seriously. I'll miss seeing your work...but maybe you'll get re-energized after a nice loooooooong break. Far as a new hobby goes, maybe find somebody's real Cobra kit car to finish up? They're out there for a fraction of the cost of buying everything new. Just a thought. I'll be following as this one comes together.

Lock up the grifters and stop feeding 'em until they cease to function.
