Went to the auto parts store last night to get a new wiper for my wife's car. Picked that up and tried to find a replacement for the rear window on the Audi. Guess what? Parts stores don't carry that size. Seriously? It's true. There is only one replacement blade that fits, made by bosch. I found it on Amazon and with prime shipping was free, so it was $12 (cheaper than parts store anyway) and will be here in 2 days. I think that's how I'll buy all my wipers from now on.

To sand, or not to sand, that is the question—
Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous numb fingers,
Or to take Arms against a pile of dust,
And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep—
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end

So, sand or take a nap....that is the question

Is that a BFH at the top of the picture? I use one of those on most of my projects.

To smack yourself in the head when you pull the paint off?

Bill - it is a weird size only used on Audis and maybe some other imports, so no one carries it. Go figure.

THE SUN IS SHINING ON THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, CLEAR, COLD, NO WIND TO SPEAK OF. NICE START ON THE DAY.

WAS HAVING A DRINK THE OTHER NIGHT WHEN THIS GUY WALKED IN WITH A CAT-SIZE PET CARRIER. HE SAT DOWN AT THE BAR AND ORDERED A DRINK.

“WHATCHA GOT IN THE BOX”, I ASKED.
“YOU WON’T BELIEVE IT “, HE SAID

HE PUT THE BOX ON THE BAR, KNOCKED ON THE TOP, AND OPENED THE DOOR. OUT WALKS A LITTLE MAN, NOT EVEN A FOOT TALL, IMPECCABLY DRESSED IN WHITE TIE & TAILS. THE GUY REACHES IN THE BACK OF THE BOX , COMES OUT WITH A MINIATURE GRAND PIANO, AND PUTS IT ON THE BAR. THE LITTLE MAN IN WHITE TIE WALKS OVER, PUTS UP THE LID, SITS DOWN AND STARTS PLAYING A CHOPIN NOCTURN.

MY MOUTH IS HANGING OPEN. “NO WAY!”
“YEAH, WAY. FOUND A GENIE IN A BOTTLE. MUST BE A LOW RANK GENIE; HE CAN ONLY GRANT ONE WISH.”
“NO SHIT? WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HIM?”
“HE’S BACK IN HIS BOTTLE, OUT IN MY TRUCK”
“WILL HE GRANT ME A WISH? BRING HIM IN!”
“OK, BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU, BE CAREFUL. SPEAK LOUD AND ENUNCIATE CLEARLY, HE DOESN’T HEAR WELL.”
“A DEAF GENIE?”
“YEAH, DO YOU REALLY THINK I ASKED FOR A TEN INCH PIANIST?”

Brad - the tile looks great!

Marcus - I like the sill plates - not too flashy and suits the car.

Off to do errands...oh joy!

Go to the next smaller size? So what if it's 1/2 in. shorter.
The Silverado had 2 different sizes on the windshield when I got it, I switched to equal w/o even looking at the owner's manual.

Bill, my fingers hurt just thinking about all that sanding you have to do yet. But it won't get done on it's own.

Sanding is demanding
When a body is shoddy
One armed bandits can handl'it
When a cold beer is near

With a ride you can hide
Make four hudirt and bundl'it
To Summit you'll go when there's snow
Then back to the pit with the 150 grit.
