Every coat I put on instantly becomes orange peel. The primer had no issue, but every color coat does. Two different brands of paint. I painted another bike in that same location with the same brand of paint, last month. No issues. It's a good thing I'm not a stickler.

It's going on too thick. Find a way to spray thinner coats.

Remember when President Bush went to his ranch on vacations, and would bring in cameras to film him hauling brush, to convince people he was a tough guy? Well, that was me this morning, only no show for the camera, I'm real deal tough.

I don't know why I laughed hard at that.

I told her we should rename it the alcohol dispensary.

I don’t see it happening.

That was really appropriate BITD when instead of being set up like a liquor store, they were set up like pharmacies - step up to the counter and tell the guy what you wanted, and he'd go fetch it from the back.

A lot of them hippie looking with beater cars. I Googled the business. Turned out to be a pot dispensary.

I'm trying to decide whether I want to do a 'last ride of the year, or a 'first ride of the New Year', or "****” it. Do both!"

You should have kept it secret.

Also, the owner of that building should look into fixing the cracks in the wall.

All I can say is it was better than the infamously tragic 2020. But that's a low bar.

Go outside. It's gray, dreary, chilly (kind of), and everything is dead.

It's great for hauling groceries. Cheaper to run than an old Honda.

And, when you spray thin coats, spray the next coat while the prior coat is still tacky. That helps the two coats “melt” together and become one rather than multiple layers of cured paint.

I don't think his problem is that his paint is cured. I think it's that his paint is CURSED!!!!!
