we gotta wait for the race to end...

racing and rassling. and NCIS. and endless cups of coffee.

we're gonna go run around and get him some fresh air.

and prolly some more ciggies. he's overdue.

I gotta price respirators, too. I still can't find what I did with mine, and this stuff absolutely cannot be breathed by a feeble old goat like I have become...

I'll have to go buy some more fittings and pipe before everything works the way I want it to...

I'm going to leave the existing air system alone, and run a new stub over to the painting area.

I'll put my fancy new air drier / regulator there.

coupla pieces of pipe, an elbow and some reducers, and we'll have a rocking clean set up to work with...

been matching stuff with shelvage.

it's starting to look like somebody works there...

@Rockhead,
I remember when he told me how the 4th of July was his favorite Holiday. Then when he was twelve his father passed away of a massive heart attack on the 4th of July. His father was only 42.

@jcboy,
mid-forties is too young to die.

@Rockhead,
No, he was originally from Boston and that's where they are taking him. He and I got along great, makes you think, sometimes you don't have just one more day.

@jcboy,
Sorry to read that about your boss passing at such a young age.

Exactly right. If more people lived like it was their last day, I think there'd be a lot less Bullshit floating around.
