"I need a tack about this long" (Holds up thumb and finger spaced about an inch apart).
I show him what we have in tacks.
"No, the heads are too big, I need something smaller."
I show him nails.
"No, this has to have a thinner shank."
I show him tacks again.
"Why didn't you show me this before?"
I apologize, explaining that I didn't understand what he wanted.
"Well this is what I wanted."
At this point, his woman speaks up,
"Don't you have any other colors?"
(We keep multi-color supplies of everything in the back for people we like. Little known fact of every hardware store. Don't piss us off, or we won't bring out the mauve 1/132 left-handed flange nails that your grandmother remembered buying from us!)

Woke up with a sore toe on my left foot. Don't recall hurting it, just sore and hard to walk on this morning, go figure? Must have had a dream that I was kicking some dip-scmitt in the arse last night?

Gout? Spent two hours in Emergency(1 at midnight, 1 at 0800) for my foot. Still not sure what is wrong with me but they say it's gout-like???? I said that I leave for camp Wednesday and my job is very right foot dependent: throttle, brakes, kicking crap when some trucker dumps his load in the wrong spot. He said it's up to me whether I go to work or not and now I'm scrambling to contact someone in the camp to get some sort of guidance;light duty, ride-a-long or 2 MORE WEEKS OFF.

EDIT: Got the 2 weeks off but still in major pain. Probably go into Emerg. at midnight for another keester shot. Unfortunately, the night nurse looks like Joe Pesci, nice, but in a Goodfellas sort of way

Any more gems like this Paul! What a laugh.
As for my day and a I don't often have much to bitch about but knocked over my precious pot of RLM 76 on the cutting mat today. Savaged some and scooped it back into the pot which I figure leads to my next problem for the day. Air brush stopped spraying, pressure was right, air was coming through but no paint, I was using the salvaged RLM 76.
Stripped it down and cleaned everything out, but still could not get it to work. Stripped it again and this time took the pin head nozzle into the hanger and inspected it under the magnifier, it looked okay but seemed to have something inside. Prodded and pocked with the needle point and eventually pulled out a 2mm piece of crud obviously picked up in the salvaging of the spilled paint.

RLM76 is one of a few I try to have a lot of. I use quite a bit of it of late.

You might try straining it through a nylon stocking. Kind of messy though. You have to put the paint in the stocking, twist it closed and squeeze the paint through. Make sure the paint is throughly mixed first though or you'll strain out a lot of the paint solids.

What pisses me off today is the fact that the word Christmas is now a bad word

If you beleive in Christmas, then go forth and annoy as many as you can
I had a lady at a store wish me a Happy Hanukkah the other day, and while I am not Jewish, accepted her greeting in the spirit it was given. More people should do the same.

Yep, it's Happy Holidays to those I don't know, Merry Christmas to those I care about, and a Happy Festivus to the rest of us.
