A bright orange day, thanks to wildfires in British Columbia.


The Blue Angels make a lot of noise over Lake Washington.


Best Paint Job EVER. It's also pearlescent and changes color as it drives by you. :)


Pure concentrated Essence of Girl. I'm assuming the green ones are Irish girls.

Pure concentrated Essence of Girl

It comes in pills? That's handy. I wish Essence of Guy was pills. (or at least, I wish we could get our hands on it in a pill form.) Steve has a choice of either a gel or an injectable oil-based solution. He doesn't care for the gel, sooo ... yup.

Love the truck paint job. If I had the money and a worthy vehicle, I'd do that.

The Blue Angels reminds me of the USAF 174th Fighter Wing, fka "The Boys From Syracuse." Up until a year or so ago, we used to hear the scream of F-16s overhead on at least a daily basis. Now they just do MQ-9 Reapers. The sky is eerily quiet these days.

You can buy the paint to do that as a three part kit: base, color-changing layer, and clear (prevents scratching). It only looks really nice on things with big flowing curves.

But the neat part is that the amount of color-change (flop, travel) depends on how many coats you do. I have a helmet that I did fifteen coats before I put the clear on, it looks like an electric hallucination.

I would have thought that the 'essence of girl' pills would be much larger. Are you sure they're real? There's a lot of pill counterfeiting going on these days.

That particular pearlescent paint is *very* expensive. My uncle used to do vehicle painting, lettering, etc. out of his shop and was telling me the actual cost per pint. It was ridiculous.

Nope, they're tiny. And taste like grape.

Grape? I always thought 'essence of girl' would taste more like strawberries... I don't know why, but strawberries always strick me as 'girl'.

Boy, are YOU in the wrong universe! Where I live, we get vanilla ice cream and chicken.
