Had a watermelon going fast, tried the mojito recipe on the weekend, was a hit with mama and her bestie, thanks for that gem.

Tonight inbetween bumper follies, had some boring chicken wings.
Yeah, boring, salt and pepper and some Tabasco.
All of my hot sauces at cabin for summer. I start vacation tomorrow so everything must go occurred on the weekend. Dho!

Then the rear was shot with its first coat. I set my flowing air pressure to 40 psi, and it shot well so that's where it stayed. I was able to get a good coat on the rear and a bit of the inside of the front done on the first bottle.

As I poured the hardener into my 250 ml measure, the white frost that immediately occurred tipped me to hurry. I thought, that ain't right, and quickly filled the cup and added it to the liner bottle.

As I shook it to mix, I realized my rush was indeed warranted.



Within 20-30 seconds the bottom of the cup melted out.

So here's the state of affairs as I sit for another 40 odd minutes.
I need to decide how I'm going to proceed from here, I may call the back 'done-ish' until I have the front done. Only have three more bottles, and don't want to sell the front short.





I've got to add, this stuff sprays really easy compared to paint!
Now, the orange Peel is part of this, and it doesn't seem to run either.

Looks pretty darn good.

Heck, you gotta start somewhere with the new tools,seems like a good start.

Thanks guys.
If the stars align properly I'll be at it tomorrow afternoon.
A little late to get at it tonight.
Zero 6 comes quickly.

Hey you have two of my pups there, and I was with them all day!

And yes their lives matter a lot too!

Oh, disappointed. Thought it was a stating the obvious post with some form of punchline/pun.

Here it turns out to be just that a virus warning.
Thanks for posting tho.

Yup, that would be certainly in the right direction!

Looking fantastic!
Love the split windshield.
Truck looks plain mean, I love it!

So I came home at lunch to add a final coat of paint to a table and chairs mama picked up for the cabin.
I walked into the house and smelled pizza crust rising.
Mama is at the cabin for the summer now...
Rut-row...
I heard a funny noise in the kitchen last night but shrugged it off as the normal house sounds...

Walked up the stairs to a bit of a mess...and the funny sound made sense.



Exploded root beer!





So I cleaned that all up, and gingerly placed the remaining bottles in a sealed Rubbermaid and went back to work late.


Then inquiring minds wanted to know the bursting pressure of Grolsch beer bottles.


Turns out it's not real common, more often they slip the gasket at 70-80 psi. One site mentioned 260 psi as the bursting pressure.  :o
Not sure how accurate, but it also blew a two liter bottle as well. The others were like stone and ready to pop. I relieved them some and they should be fine.

Come home after work, to find two more blown up. So now I've carefully vented the rest. Had a couple slip he gaskets and spray root beer foam everywhere, but I'd gotten good at cleaning it up now.
Bottle shrapnel.



So one of two things caused it.
One, too much sugar, used bathroom scale instead of butcher scale, may be out at 4.5 lbs range.
Two, not enough head space for the CO2 to accumulate.
Not so sure about this root beer stuff now, never had this with real beer. Oh well.

Oh yeah, and mamas table and chairs are back together and done also.

Now that's a good find, as long as it is a spring and not just runoff the water source could very well be viable.

I can guarantee that an option like this will be economical enough to pay for the tools to do it and be between he two prices you mentioned.
There are a lot of different styles, all including a few hundred bucks of metal and time.
I do like that as well.

Both look good!  Nate, if it's on the counter, it was never there?

Now you're on it!

Heavenly Father, see to your daughter Jo-Jo in her time of need. Guide the doctors hands to set her leg properly, and father help Jo-Jo to heal quickly. And father help all those around her in this stressful and trying time.
In Jesus name. Amen

The chair looks great.

What a horrible thing for a little one to go through.  :(

I gotta agree with Shawn on all/most of his comments.
The concrete is really all that you likely need to contract out.
It's an art that some can do the things you want that we grunts and knuckleheads stare in awe at.
The rest, really shouldn't be that much of a stretch for you, especially if you recruit some help.

Here's the problem I see...
It's from a customer service sign I seen at one point.
We can do it good fast and cheap.
But you can only pick two.
If you want it good and fast, won't be cheap.
Fast and cheap, won't be good.
Good and cheap won't be fast.

Unfortunately this little 'joke' of a sign is so true.
So you'll have to have it all figured out.

And starting this conversation should bring up a lot of good discussion.

Yup, that will not be any kind of fun.

Well on my way home the truck hit this milestone.



Which equates to this in miles.



Not sure why, but always like capturing the big milestones for some reason. I think HH6 is surprised I've kept the truck this long. While I was out had the front end fixed up. 2 uppers and one lower bad, I had to do the outer tie rod ends before I left, don't think they would have made the trip. This is the second time that I've had to do front end work, so I'm quite happy with how it's holding up.

Tonight, mixed up a batch of home made root beer. Will know in 2-3 weeks how it turns out. My son will be home about then, and there's something about a root beer float...
Then we'll likely get into some other beer, but that's another story.



The kit made about 18 litres. Quite easy, 4.5 lbs sugar, 17 litres of water, the root beer mix and some wine yeast.

That's gonna make for a rough week or so for the poor little guy.
BUT, one lesson he'll never forget!

Happy anniversary Jon, and happy belated JR.

I've been at the cabin a couple days now. Enjoyed Canada day yesterday, been doing some fishing and yard work.

Yup pretty good.

Throughout the week we spent the afternoon on the range.
I've walked past this sign too many times to count, and actually read it on Thursday.
We had a good laugh.

I've been running the Coleman extreme's with fairly good luck. I have three different ones, and all will make 4-7 days, but not as hot as you, more high 80's to mid 90's. It always depends on what is in them and how often opened. One summer, had 6 dozen lobster in one, shelled packed and frozen. Drove from east coast home, 7 or 8 days and it was all still solid once home. But it was not opened the whole time other than a frost check on day five.
The 7 day one is better than the 6 and 5, like one would thing should be he case, even though they appear to be the same there must be a difference somewhere in the foam.

Lookin great!

I'm liking the ISIS fighters one with the P-40 as a close second.

The green looks pretty legit for colour match.
And the rotary abomination is ready for destruction detail!

"But what about the safety chain guard!"
Says some liberal who isn't a Darwinism fan...

That will sure wreak havoc on something!
Hopefully the blades are up to the task they now face.
I'd hazard this may be a tiny bit out of the scope of the engineers vision for this brush hog. I'm thinking it will be way mo-better at mowing down the saplings now.

Looking great. Funny how our simple plans always take turns for the complicated...
