Neat thing I tried to do today. The Senior PGA is here this weekend & the MetLife Blimp is around town. I was riding (instead of painting my house) this morning & there it was. I tried to drive over to it & get under it but never could. It was facing South but going East. I guess the winds were pushing it. I saw it Sunday while riding at Willy Post Airport. It was moored to a pole. Also saw it Monday while in the car & I DID get under it then.
But today since it wasn't following any streets I had trouble even getting close to it. It was moving about 45-50 MPH sideways. Fun trying to stay on freeways & streets I knew to get to it. Cool time but had to come home & start my painting.

Just finished the first three days of my "vacation" painting the front very large porch and windows in garage and shed. I'd rather go to the dentist! But, its done now, and should keep for about 4 years. Let's hope.

Just park that T100 close by while you are painting and every now and then run over and give it a hug, otherwise it might pout when next you get to chase blimps. Blimps? I thot it was supposed to be rainbows!! Then again, I'd chase almost anything to avoid painting.

Monte :-D

How did you get out past the wife???

Spending my "break" between classes putting down ceramic tile. About 350 sq ft of it. Getting to old for this stuff.

Am going to slip out a go for a ride this afternoon. Took time off today from 2nd job so have the rest of the day free.

If you meant me, no wife here. Haven't been married since 1980.
I am painting my house that I painted 25 years ago. The old paint just wore off. No peeling. Nothing. Just bare spots. It is taking a lot of paint.
My D&D's came today so I stopped painting sooner. 9:00 PM? Put them on real quick. No jet change. No AI removal. Put all paint supplies away & took off. Drove by 2 biker friends houses & mad a blast down their streets at 10:00. I guess the AI has to be removed to prevent the back firing.
Also drove close to the Police Sation. Back fired a little there. It is funny. It will always backfire twice. Once out of each cylinder. Sort of cool.
Now to remove the AI. OH yeah & finish painting. The worse part is still to come. The tall roof peaks. Good thing I can fly.
