Default Grrrr....

Just need somewhere to push some steam... Had a bad start of this week;

Monday evening I stabbed my grex needle into and bent it, not only in one direction but two! Have no idea if it can be fixed beeing a .2 needle and all. Well, Gordon at aerart of course is quick to respond so no problem...same evening I dropped my hp-bc while cleaning it, it landed on the needle chucking guide so I had to gently pry it open to get my needle back in...ok, still works...Tuesday evening I was going to paint a t-shirt, but some of the paint had dried a bit in the AB bottles so it was like painting with a machine-gun with the hickups! To finish the evening I was going to do some dots&lines practice and stabbed the hp-bc needle and bent it! EEEEK! I had a spare, and I think I can fix the bent one but still!

The good news this week is that Glowtec posted the glow in the dark paint I ordered yesterday so hopefully I'll get to paint the bedroom ceiling next week

Niclas, bending a needle seems to be commomn for me, one way I have found will help to straighten is place the needle tip between (2) nickles held in your finger and thumb, and pull it through. You may have to rotate it a few times but it will eventually straighten it without damaging the tip, well at least it has worked for me every time so far.

I'm going to try something like the attached picture, a night sky. I sometimes have difficult to sleep so might as well look at the stars fade away
I also have an idea for one of the bathroom doors but haven't asked for permission from "the government" for that one yet

If I show this to my wife, I'll HAVE to do it. She got me to put up those bloody glow in the dark little stars all over the place. when i finally took them down, it also took the paint, which in turn meant i had to fill and sand EVERY BLOODY LITTLE STAR SHAPED HOLE IN THE PAINT!!!!!!!!!!! sob.
I actually don't mind this idea, can't wait till you've finished

not sure about psi but the speed of a sneeze is close to 500 MPH, psi would depend on the size of the nose

I were thinking that a small nose psi would be higher than the psi from a big nose like mine, if my thinking are backward then I hate to think how high my PSI are

I was right there with you on that one....Hubby and I put up an old fashioned clothes line..... he placed 2 support poles [made from 2- 1x6 ]...the wind we had blew one down ...I went to replace it, and bammmmm the other hit me top of the head [I didnt even see where it came from] knocked me cold for a bit.....
