First Green Job

Ok, so I'm hitting golf balls the other day and I notice that the putting green at this particular range looks alittle..well...shoddy. So I talk w/ the owner and he agrees to let me paint it. Here's the results. I should mention that I was low on GreenLawnger (the grass dye) so I wasn't able to get it as dark as I'da liked.




Before




After
So-so result imo.

Texas Sized Doughnut

I shot up to Austin this past weekend
to play alittle golf w/ my dad; unfortunately
I forgot to take the dig camera.
I did however bring one of these home.



Recently, that award winning TV show,
"Man vs. Food" (ok, but it COULD win an
award at some point) showcased this place.

The Good Life

If for some reason I'm off on the whole "Christian" thing & the Hindus or Buddhists (or both, whichever) are right about reincarnation, I wanna come back as a pet in my own household.

Curb Appeal

The oldest now has her drivers license and she's an excellent, tho inexperienced driver. She passed her driving test w/ flyin colors. She aced the parallel parking, nailed the complete stop at lights portion; she even did well at signal while changing lanes part, which most forget to do.




Missed it by thaaaat much.








Normally she likes to have
her picture taken.



Unfortunately they don't teach fancy sunken parking lot landscape pit avoidance in drivers ed.

Walls Only

Sheetrock.

It comes in sheets (and trust me) after awhile, it does fill like your hefting rocks. For the past couple of years I've hung alot of it; I've taped and floated alot of it; and I've sanded it..alot. Texture too: orange peel, montery, acoustic (pop corn for you laymen), knock down, heavy splatter, old world; even the occasional old-school sand-tex. No complaints, it pays the bills. But occasionaly someone actually wants to PAINT their house. So w/out further ado, I present to you a Reck interior paint job...walls only.

Got walls?

Going For The Green

No, this isn't a golf thread. I decided to do some tests spots on my lawn, 'cause ya know, I want to paint it. That's right, I'm going to paint my yard. Now, before you think I've done too much varnishin in poorly ventilated spaces, let me just say that this could be the beginning of something big....or not.



The blade on the left is live.
The one on the right was dormant
until I sprayed it.




Testing...



Who knows, maybe one day this
green will produce some real green.


Anybody want their yard painted?

The Texas Edition

Well, I finally pulled the trigger & purchased a truck. So, let me introduce the '05 Ford F-150...Texas Edition.



Thankfully it uses
87 octane.






Will it stay
this clean?

You bethcha!




How bout a shout out to
the UAW!

Never thought I'd say that.




As for the ol '98 Windstar, it did it's job well. I'll miss ya old friend.



Tho it's only been a couple of days,
somehow, it seems it's been there all along.
