    Dissertation Defence coming up shortly

    My friend just defended her thesis for her Masters in some environmental science . They want her to now publish . In academia getting published is a thing? She said the defence while stressful was actually pretty easy, the panel didn’t have any ***** on it . My understanding when she does her...

    The meathead will not be down for breakfast

    Rob Reiner , imo, inherited an immense talent from his dad . He made great films , some legitimate classics . Spinal Tap is so whacky it’s a cult classic and Princess Bride has everything a family film needs to be brilliant. I’ll miss his work . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Oil based paint is getting pretty hard to source , although when you read the chemistry on latex , there is a lot of “not water” in there. The roll and tip method can produce a beautiful finish , cabinet design trends in the UK and north east US right now are brush finish on kitchens . It’s...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I spray whenever I can , but you need a place , everything around you needs masked off . Even with a HVLP (high volume low pressure ) gun, the overspray will float around alot . These days I make a 2x2 frame covered in cheap poly as a spray booth and a 20x20" box fan with two funace filters...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I’m not seeing a trap like others said or how it may be vented ? You could add a “cheater” vent but that might be tricky to get enough height . The drain cleaner Gary mentioned from home hardware is the stuff plumbers tend to use , it’s really effective. Sent from my iPhone using...

    A Christmas Story trivia.

    Dear God , Gavin whatsoever signed on to make a mediocre movie and created a classic . Peter , the kid , is now a famous director . Possibly the best Christmas movie because it hits hard for so many of us , ****** cars , TVs that don’t work , relationships that are sideways and the campy...

    Favourite Christmas movie

    My wife loves the original “Scrooge” , the part where he wakes up all giddy and scares the maid makes her laugh every year . When we have soup I’ll say , “more bread” she’ll say “cost you a shilling” I reply “ no more bread” . It’s been decades of this idiocy lol Sent from my iPhone using...

    Phone Scammers

    There are entire floors in office towers in Asia dedicated to phone / computer/ bank scams . This may never go away , it’s robbery that’s very hard to trace , and almost unpunishable in the home country. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com
