I think I found the autobody shop that did the paint on the food truck:

The blue on the mirror looks nice.

Averaged sized man shouldn't need a ladder. I'm only 5'7" - wearing my steel-toe work boots I could easily cover those windows.

Going by your 72" on the glass the top of that window should be a little less than 8ft from the ground. A medium to tall installer (6ft+) can reach a little over 8ft. So, tall installer or like was said some planks running off the walkway with some support on the rocky side to keep it steady. A...

I have the economy (cheap CE) Graphtec and had the same issue - bought all new grit rollers - problem solved.

Pat, what kind of equipment are you running it on? I have an old Win7 pc and a newer Win10 laptop. Lots of problems with the older system (I couldn't update it past CS2020). The newer one - not so bad. I've noticed that Adobe opens up almost as many processes as Chrome, even without an open...

It's missing the truck up on cinder blocks.

Good thread Gino, now, you might want to clean your keyboard - the period key seems a little 'sticky'

Well , no smartphones back then with mega-pixel video recording and I was too poor to have a camcorder.

CNC bead rolling - extreme addition. Pretty amazing stuff. We've come a long way. Back in the 70's or early 80's I was working in my dad's body shop, a Mazda/Ford Courier came in with the passenger side door caved in. No one had a new or used door and it would have taken months to get one in...

Mark out the 12 square feet on the sign that contains the most critical information, cut off all the rest and hang it.

We prep them the same way the military prepped their pilots and ground troops during WWII before a mission - amphetamine and methamphetamines. Gets them revved up with confidence and keeps them going long after their better judgment has gone to sleep.

Tex did you get a briefing from your Rep Jackson Lee before attempting to watch the eclipse?

I'm speeding down the road in to Texas right now. It's just twilight from here and raining

Might have come in handy when I was spraying undercarriage rustproofing. By the end of the day, I'd be fully rustproofed (with a 10 year warranty) and had to basically shower with kerosene to get it off. A little ice-blasting sounds good.
