I pulled out the airbrush to do a quick 5 minute spray job on some landing gear wheels and ended up spending and hour struggling to remove some gunk from the tip without destroying it.

Where do I start... first, the company in Colorado where my wife works was merged with another headquarted in Texas. Not so bad except they decided to close the offices in Colorado. Fortunately they offered to move her there expenses paid. Unfortunately she has to move there alone. She's Russian and moving into a place with no friends, no relatives, English isn't her first language, and she's never been there before. Everything frightens her and I can't be there to help.
Second, her parents are doing very poorly in health with Mom going through dementia right up there with Alzheimers and all the problems this brings. Her Dad is failing in health with a slight case of pneumonia and increasing depression. Most the time he doesn't get out of bed. Her sister is the only caretaker. My ex has decided to take me to court to try to get more money than she is entitled to. I've always paid more than the courts allowed for the kids but she thinks it's not enough. Now I have a ton of paperwork to fill out because of it. Our Great Dane has a tumor on her leg that bleeds and has an open sore the size of a silver dollar. I bandage it up but she removes it after I've gone to work. Then the apartment manager for the place where my wife is staying charges her an extra hundred dollars because he couldn't break down the receipt to separate the charges between deposit and application fee. The dude is helpful but incompetant. At home, I'm trying to get the house ready for photos so it can be put on the market but I keep getting delayed as I'm trying to put out these other fires. At work, I keep getting switched around to different productlines. No sooner than I get started on the machines, I get told to work on another product line. Of course now that my wife is in Texas there is no one to talk to in this quiet house. What next?

Dammit....somebody came in and moved the master bathroom doorframe while we were sleeping.
Good thing I'm no longer in retail and required to be on my feet all day.
Wife just left to drop off the kiddo with the great-grandparents for the day, then we'll head over to the Care-Now place where they can tell me I'm an idiot and watch out for doorframes. Which I'm pretty sure have been staring at me all morning with evil, malevolent grins, waiting for me to get close so they can spring out again. The chairs are in on it too.

- has had my first car accident...or: incident.
Left side mirror went AWOL when I got too close to a parked van...y'know, those sturdy japanese vans with concrete side mirrors that'll tear the wing off a 747 if it gets too close?
Anyway, I stopped and checked that the van was alright, otherwise I'd have left a note with name and address.
I absolutely hate people who just drives away from small accidents like that - that's totally irresponsible in my opinion, and so I thought it would be the right thing to do just in case.
I couldn't see a darned thing on the van that I hit, and I even double checked just to make sure.
I then picked up the remains of my car's mirror, and walked over to where I parked, and called my boss, telling him about the absent mirror.
I also checked the mirror case that were left, and it turns out that the (fold-in) side mirror thing had - ta-daaaa! - folded in, and in that process the mirror itself had come loose and dropped out of the mirror casing.
We agreed that I'd go straight to the work shop at the central precinct, and so I did.
Boss even told me that it was cool of me that I told him right away, and that he was happy that I called him.
Erm - is it just me, or isn't that the natural thing to do in such a situation? *scratches head*
And: Hmmm, I've got a good boss!
Fortunately the workshop had a spare mirror ready for me, and 10 minutes later I thanked the mechanic and drove back to the museum with a brand new left side mirror.
Dayum, it isn't even painted yet.
Neither is the right side side-mirror, but hey - I didn't break that mirror!
So all in all it wasn't so bad, the only thing left for me to work on, is to get my ears back to their natural skin colour - the red colour tend to glow in the dark.

BBC news reported a little earlier that Israeli Air Force is bombing Gaza - IMO, are they trying to turn those neibouring countries on the cups of possible better democracy, civil rights and better relations with Israel, to possibly become more religously extreme instead?
some virus thingy in the main computer, that we can't seem to get rid of at the moment....

Went to the archery range yesterday to tune a set of new arrows to a Longbow I bought this spring. Strung the bow, layed out my arrows and different weight practice point and got ready to shoot. Went throw some garbage away and when I was done felt a large pain come upon my left hand. Hornet was firmly attached to my hand!!! Started to swell and my palm and pointing finger got numb, Shot maybe a dozen arrows before I had to give it up.
Still a little tender and sore in the palm area today. That was one mean and nasty critter!!!
