I finished off a Ruination 24 oz pretty darn quick and decided to reevaluate my situation while I still had some light left. Decided to move forward with the project instead of getting obliterated

IKR!

Thanks for the sympathy y'all

Well I went ahead and wiped the paint off the dropped ones, and swapped them for ones on my Z. I taped them and cleaned those, and managed to do a successful paint. After three different attempts earlier, I had a much better handle on getting a smooth finish. I basically did one heavy coat (4 short quick passes on four sides holding the can at about 45 degrees for maximum coverage). I am much more pleased with these than the previous attempts

I've got about another 15 minutes before I can clear coat them. Here's another pic that shows the finish a little closer.

And after I finished the painting, I took care of the downed section of fence. It had been down for sometime, and quite a few critters had taken refuge under it. There was an enormous ant hill I had to treat, too

No. I am supposed to go in, analyze the current state of affairs, identify areas of improvement in specific business process (usually forecasting, capacity, planning, manufacturing and supply chain) and then give them a "How do we get from here to there" document. When I deliver the plan, then I am out, supposedly, and other people in my company now have a map of what to do.

Lately, the last three clients I have done this for want me to do the execution also and they drive the request up the chain in my company and then I find the 1 week things turn into months or, in one case, indefinite.

Those are nice. I have to wait for mine a few months -- it's an anniversary gift.

Finished up the side markers just now. Pleased with the results all things considered

It's one medium-heavy coat of the transparent black base coat, so it's not very dark and very similar to the color of the Z

The clear is 3 light coats and then 2 heavy coats.
