Hey, if that's one of the Rat Patrol jeeps, they could take out that thing.

Hmm, no, hadn't thought about that. Plan right now is to just use liberal applications of superglue to get it to lay down how I want. That method has worked in the past so hoping I can get it to work this time.
Unfortunately no building today, even though I was off work b/c of all the ice. I brought work home so I didn't have to go out, but it appears I've picked up a really bad case of food poisoning from my lunch yesterday, so it's done a very good job of knocking me on my butt. Really hoping I feel better tomorrow b/c if I still feel like this tomorrow I wont be going to work again.

You wouldn't like the rules for schools up here.
School buses only stop running when wind-chill reaches -45[sup]o[/sup]C or air temperature (without wind) is -40[sup]o[/sup]C. Schools remain open, any students who wish to attend can, teachers have to be there.
I only remember schools closing once here, wind-chill was well below -45[sup]0[/sup]C, near 0 visibility due to blowing snow and the RCMP closed all roads.
Cheers,
Rich
Should be some good bench time for you guys Barney.
Hopefully will be at work on time today but I gotta leave early to take the generator back that I didn't need.
THEN! Benchtime. :dance

48 bottles of original Gator Glue and a bunch of aircraft masks including my new He-219 Uhu mask for Saturday's contest in San Antonio. Tonight I'll make 4 dozen bottles of Thin Blend. I'm not going to say anything negative about the blizzard because in a month or two it will be hotter than Hades with 1000% humidity down here. I soak up as much of the winter weather as possible. We go from summer to winter then back to summer. There ain't no spring or fall in Southwest Louisiana.

I'm so old, I'm new, to the world (just come out of my shell ever'so often) but I don't get the "...original Gator Glue..." into "...4 dozen bottles of Thin Blend."
And you drive from SW Louisiana to San Antonio for a contest?
Not bein' critical but just curious.
Bubba let me tell ya, as a fellow Humidity Belt sufferer I would rather deal with the heat than the cold.
When did you come out with the thin glue? I need to stock up on some, you'll see an order from me after payday. :coolio

I've been making the Thin Blend for over a year. Unlike the original, Thin Blend was a happy accident. When ordering ingredient to make a batch of original blend, I ordered the wrong ingredient. I didn't realize this until my order arrived at the house. Being curious, I decided to make a small batch to see what would happen. After I mixed up the ingredients, I noticed that it was thinner. Okay, that may not be too bad. Now to give it the Gator Grip test. I glued a strip of styrene to a 4" x 4" piece of flat styrene and let it dry. I checked on it every so often and noticed it was drying faster, another plus. Once dry and set, I gave the piece of styrene strip the flick test. What is the "flick test"? You know, when you hold the tip of your middle finger with your thumb and flick your wife on the forehead.
San Antonio is 5 hours from our house. It's the farthest we go. And we're use to road trips. All my son's specialists are in New Orleans 3 hours away.

I'd rather the cold/cool. I can always put layers on. But when the heat index is in the triple digits and the humidity is in the 90's, ugh.

RichB: I was once stationed in Plattsburgh NY. Cool was zero. The week before I got there is was a -63 w/o the windchill. They never closed schools. They would run the buses for 2 hours before they used them and some buses had a plow drive in front.. And that was the city schools.
Why the heck do you think I moved back to the land of ice and snow? My last summer in LA (lower ababama) we had close to 60 straight days of 90+ , with 100% humidity and, the comfort index well over 110! I remember that it was only 93 @ 9PM FOR THE FIREWORKS ON THE fourth!!
Tours to Iraq were better.
