Time for a little Christmas Giving

[parrisw]

It does suck painting in the cold! Hook looks nice in the black! . . I'm curious to see how everyone paints theirs differently. Different paint strokes for different folks!

LOL. Ya, took 2 days for a couple coats of primer, painted a couple coats of black today, let is mostly cure so they don't stink, then brought them downstairs by the wood stove.

 

[Metals406]

if you ever decide to sell more let me know.

Well, being as I didn't sell this first batch, it'd be a first selling any from the second batch.

Now I'm confused

:hmm3grin2orange:

I spray it outside real quick, then run it back inside and hang it. . . I just tell everyone to deal with the stink!

Hey, I gotta deal with my wife's finger and toenail painting. . . That'll gag a maggot. :biggrin:

I did spray it outside then brought it in the garage. When I painted the 390 muffler yesterday, I heated it up with a propane torch, then sprayed it, worked awesome!

[chopperfreak2k1]

[Stihlofadeal64]

Hey Nate, painting in the cold sucks, takes forever to cure. Just brought the hooks in from the garage so they'd fully cure down by the wood stove.

FLAT BLACK!!

WOW nice hook! :big_smile:

 

[parrisw]

Nothing yet Nate. We had a cold snap and a good dump of snow, the hook has been living next to me on the front seat of the truck, but no dumb ass's stuck in any ditch's!!! Darn, last year I got to pull at least one person out, was funny as all hell, a guy with a full size mid 80's Dodge van stuck on a hill, he had guys throwing pieces or carpet under his rear tires when I showed up, it was spitting them out like nobody's business!! So I hooked on and pulled him up the hill, he yelled at me to stop but I knew it wasn't a good spot to stop so I kept going and he hit his brakes, all 4 of his tires were dragging and I kept going for another 50', I was laughing my ass off seeing him skid around everywhere behind me crapping his pants.

I usually don't hope that my buddies run into dumb people, but I'm making an exception this time!

I hope you find another just like that guy this year, just so you can use the hook.

LOL, mee too, I was hoping, but its absolutely pouring with rain right now, normal winter weather here, so all the snow will mostly be gone by tomorrow.

We're supposed to get snow, freezing rain, snow. . . All in the next 24 hours. I guarantee there's gonna be car accidents here.

Ya it usually happens here too. But this time people got smart, it was unusually quiet. We get so little snow here, it pretty much shuts down the city, people just stay home.

You must be in the "banana belt" part of the sound. My faller buddies further up the island have to come south to Washington because the
north end of the island gets pretty cold.

It does get colder up on the north end more, but I don't think its a huge difference, its been 0 and below for the past week, hit -5, that's usually about as cold as it gets here, and not too often, supposed to get to +8 this weekend. Oh, that's °C BTW.
