Hahaha. 10+ weeks. At this point my biggest problem is finding time to take it. That being said, I'm taking some time off next weekend

^ yay yay yay is right

Waiting on my new desktop today at home. Good timing since I did a shoot last night and my laptop is dead (and I left the charger in the office).


On a side note, SSD 1TB portable HD w/USB-c. Holy smokes this thing is fast. It's stupid overpriced but man is it convenient

I will be heading up to Elkhart Lake with the girlfriend for the vintage racecar parade as soon she gets off work at 4 PM. My best friend from college and I will be going up there tomorrow night for the sports car show. I also have to work both days this weekend...

Lol.

It's this. Apple doesn't make one. At least I don't think so

Looooooooong weekend of masking/priming/painting/power washing and i am beat. It's amazing what a ton of work that kind of thing is.

Door turned out great though!

<- Also hates alignments. Took car to King Motorsports this spring, promptly had my requested specs ignored, with them basically just doing as they pleased. Never again.

Dropped my car off for some body work, I'm incredibly nervous, can't wait to get it back.

@Charlie, details on door?

My dog took some inspiration from dude in Shawshank Redemption and has been working on tunneling his way out of the house through the front door for a few years. He's calmed down on it over the last year though and so we decided to replace it. Got a guy to hang it on Friday, masked/painted the faces and stained the new trim on Saturday and then yesterday I power washed/scraped the porch and got a coat of primer down before i completely ran out of gas and couldn't find the energy to paint. That'll be tomorrow.

I'm saving the full public reveal until the porch is done but here are a couple potato quality pics of the door.
