Ah! I didn't see the little blue arrows. Gotcha now. I had one across the top of the '03's windshield in and near the tint strip for a couple of years. It finally migrated, though, so then it was new glass time.

Perhaps you should hire the guy you ran off back ? Might be worth a shot.

I wacked my back bending over filling the cracks.




Got about 1/2 that area done and thought I should quit my back is sore.
But who listens to reason....lol


Still have to change the oil, the local oil tanks are full & have been for a few weeks.
So, I posted an ad in the local free things group on Farcebook.
Free - 8 gallons of clean used motor oil for someone's oil fired heater.
Ad wasn't up 10 min. and had 3 replies.
But now I have a guy coming in the morning to pick it up. lol

Better get changing some oil....

Started getting the garage ready to do clear tomorrow. I hope it turns out... also hope it doesn't rain because The Eight Nine is on the RV pad out back.

You're currently doing one the largest and PITA parts of the job, turning the garage into a booth. I don't envy you right now lol.

Hope Mother Nature is helping w/ humidity/dew point for a good shoot.....and that gun comes through. You know, all those little things...

Good Luck buddy.
