"And now for something completely different..."
Living in the south has it's perks and 'indian summer' is one of the best. We now have little humidity and decent temps which are perfect for painting. So let 'Rocktober' begin. If anyone is toying with the idea of doing their bass using Reranch rattle can nitro---don't even think twice about it. It's fabulous!!!! At least so far, haven't gotten to the clearcoat yet. I have to go with my favorite color some several reasons, 1. I was born in October same year Leo introduced the pbass, 2. Clemson grad, 3. it's my favorite color, 4. It's the best month of the year, 5. it's my favorite color, wait did I say that already?? Anyway this GOF is having a hard time being grumpy today. What you think guys?

Judging from that photo, I wouldn't shoot any more colour coats- I'd go straight to the clearcoat.
I love the way the grain is peeking though...

Wow FF! Nice done. As a carpenter, I'm really interested in your architectural scheme. I think through self efficiency
one might be able to score more beer. and gear
fnord!
The trick is to get on the land with a starter house.
As a carpenter you can always call in all kinds of favors and always expand once you build up some equity.
So, it's finally cooling down so that human outdoor activity is possible, down in this Cajun hell hole. Very patient old timer here!? decides to start painting the front porch… I tore it apart and rebuilt it during the fury of the summer time, and had been leading up to this for a while, sanding, caulking, etc.(everything which grumps on a carpenter).
MARMADUKE HORROR STORY FOR HALLOWEEN? SURE!
But first, I was fighting the damn tree frogs. I'd blasted them away with water the previous day… but these things just don't care… as I flicked them away (my evil dog makes me timid in the killing category, even frogs), Yep! Here comes the Marm! He's been rice field levee running with his girlfriend and has brought back a footlong mud? duck (black feathered and a white beak). Thankfully, this one is already dead… best I can hope for … (Two mornings earlier Marm left a crippled version flapping around in the front yard. I got him inside and after awhile thought I should go out with the 410 and put it out of its misery… it was gone) He drops this new dead duck on the porch-- expecting, as all labs should, the praise duethe dignity of his race. Instead, I'm disgusted, yelling no! I don't want that. I walk and am followed by the Duke to the back yard. I just don't want to deal with the corpse and run away like a child. When I gather my courage to dispose of yet another corpse (maybe 90 seconds, I'm tough like that), it and the girlfriend dog are gone!
Maybe Marmaduke kills for love? How the hell is he catching ducks? Can't they fly? I've got to get that go pro camera on that beast.
frightened,
fnord!

This grumpy old fart is especially grumpy hearing that the powers that be have now put our region at risk by transferring the nurse from Texas to NIH in Bethesda.
My middle daughter works in Bethesda!
There's also an inmate in our local county jail system who may have been exposed.
The scariest part about this Ebola outbreak is hearing public officials tell us they've got it under control, when they totally don't!
How can they control something with a 21 day incubation cycle?

What was their guiding principle - was it "Don't do stupid things?" Well, THAT'S A FAIL!

The Reston VA Ebola Outbreak was 24 years ago.
Trillions of "public funds" later, one would think Ft. Meade or some other chem-bio research facility would have developed an antidote long ago.
It's like every time there's a crisis, all the people who are supposed to know what they are doing, are completely caught off guard.
Of course that means even more money to study and correct the failure.

I swear its like Zorg Industries creating a little chaos to give everyone something to do.
Don't want to get into banned subject matter.
This virus doesn't care who you are, how rich, how poor, how old, or what you believe to be right or wrong.
It kills indiscriminately.

I was laughing (instead of shrieking) at the paper a couple of days ago. The president has given the pentagon the power to call up the national reserves to: "fight the ebola virus." Can anyone imagine a more idiotic response to a contagious killer than to send in troops to become infected chosen among all 50 state's weekend warriors? That would be like flying an infected case to the nation's capital where representatives of every state frequently use said airport… coming from and going to the populace that they "represent." I'm not positive, but I think I just saw a FNORD!
Also, don't believe the hype!
f n o r d !
I think the Senate and House would be a great place to breed Ebola. Oh that wasn't what they had in mind? Oh right fight, my mistake.
A few days ago, they showed a scene in Africa where workers in isolation suites were forcing an exposed victim into the back of a truck like a wild animal.
Of course he didn't want to go to some place where he would probably die, but there were 100's of people standing around watching and terrified who might be next.
Last week the local paper said the local county sheriffs took an inmate who may have been exposed to Loudoun Memorial.
Its scary thinking how many people in that chain of command might have been exposed.
The police officials, ambulance crew, the fire hall they are stationed at and the hospital staff and any patients who come
in contact with them.
Imagine having a medical emergency knowing your hospital may be compromised or that first responders could
have been exposed.
I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but the potential for this to get out of control is damn serious.
