    I'm off work and bored!

    I've been off work for a month due to a knee injury and I'm starting to go bonkers! I'm going to take it out for a test spin tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll call a coyote in!

    Gillespie from Rapco in Texas. It is the paint I used when I restored my WWII jeep. 33070 lusterless olive drab (top photo) and beige primer. I jerked weeds from the flower bed (I made points there) and used them for the pattern. I'm happy with how it turned out.

    No I didn't bake it on. I thought about it but SWMBO would not take too kindly to the smell of cooked paint throughout the house.

    Only 3?

    How about 6?

    If I was a spider it would probably be 24 by now!
