OSUT 257: Spring is Finally Here. Bring on the Outdoor Fun and Grilling Season!

It's till just drizzle here, in central.

Just a mist down here. Cool and damp.

I still keep my hand in some, but only have a small buffer now.

I do buy a lot of discs and sometimes I'll grab a good one, but with scrathes.

I keep a flannel wheel I've never used anything on but water as a compound that I use just for taking care of CDs and DVDs I find cheap.

Buffing plastic can get out of hand quickly, too, as you've probably discovered revamping mouthpieces.

I like the canton for most things, but for super fine, ultra shiny, I prefer the dommet.

I polished brass, rubber and plastic mouthpieces. I also ground the facing and stamped them.
Different plastics react differently. Some have lower melting temps and quickly overheat and distort.

getting the explorer serviced in the morning at 0800. one last freebie for it.

 

[Expat]

some warranty stuff to do on it also.

 

[Expat]

selling it? or were you leasing, and you're buying it?

I need to make an appointment to take my car in for the fix for certain Hyundai and KIA models. It's the thing where people can use a thumb drive to steal the cars somehow. At first I didn't think mine was included but apparently it is.

Most places don't give anything.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Just started raining again. Just made it into the garage from getting the mail as it was starting.

 

[Expat]

I'll give you $3001.00 and a ride to a car lot.

I can't afford the tax on that sort of gain.

 

[Expat]

Most places don't give anything.

They have a long tradition of taking care of the employees. When my Dad died, the head guy sent me a handwritten note of condolence. It isn't what it used to be since it now a fortune 400 company, but some traditions remain. I mean I was there 34 years and worked hard for them.

 

[Lpherr]

I can't afford the tax on that sort of gain.

$3K and the six pack of Klondike's.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I don't think Susan will be joining me on the deck this evening. I just relit the heater. She's still having cold sensitivity and the damp weather makes her hurt no matter what the temperature.

 

[Lpherr]

The cold bothers me too.
Even inside, I'm chilly. The Mrs. thinks I'm nuts.
