Rough start this morning.

[WaffleJaw]

I woke up 15 minutes late...Stubbed my toe while trying to give my dog his medicine...Stepped in dog crap while walking them,then didnt noticed that until it was smeared on the kitchen floor...Cleaned it...Didnt have time to make coffee...A coldfront came in with high winds,so when I open the door to walk out...The wind caught the door and slammed it on my finger tips
I mean right on the fingernails!!!!
So after running in circles and saying cuss words that would make George Carlin blush...I walked back inside to grab my phone,only to be greeted by my half asleep wife who is complaining about all the nosie....I bit my lip because I didnt wont to take the pain and frustration out on her...Take a breathe and explain to her my ordeal....While having my hurt hand tucked under my armpit..

The positive side is I was only 10minutes late to work...and I got a foot in the door to hopefully start a new job at Barlow's Tackle.Thier hiring for full time in the shipping/accounting department..Hopefully with the rod building and 6 yrs of shipping,recieving,and dispatching (which I also do at my job)
and the good word from an employee there I know...I can get an interview.
Im just afriad they wont pay enough........but god I hope so!

So how yours day?

My fingers hurt.

Hey man, if it makes you feel any better, I've had a pretty good day today.

But hey, it could've been much worse.

Good luck on getting an interview and maybe a new job!

Thanks BB,Man it would be great to work at Barlow's and talk fishing all day and do rod repair...But Im pretty sure the pay wont cover my expenses,but I wont know till I talk to someone.(fingers crossed)

Glad your having a good day..How was the birthday weekend??
Mines getting better,I picked up some new Owner Twistlocks,and a couple of new Rat'l Traps.Along with some Flex coat brushes to finish up the rod.

My department is slow at work,so Im trying to get my decal printed on the waterslide paper so I can put that on the rod tonight as well...Heres the logo..Its just my last name..Something to make it a little more special.....Its in Resdient Evil text,hahaha....(I use to be a gaming nerd)
I just added the little points on the ''N''...
All I got left is the decal and the tip and then its ready for epoxy and done!!!
How's that tiger wrap coming??

It's like my uncle said back in the 70's when his house burned down "I knew it going to be a bad day when I woke up and the house was full of smoke."

WJ, I like the decal.

As for my tiger rod, I've got the base layer wrapped, and burnished (although it doesn't look much different to me...) Now it's sittigin my basement on the rod wrapper waiting for me to get enough time to epoxy it. How many coats did you use? and did you let the first coat dry completely before applying the second?

hahahaa! I laugh at yer inconvenience!

How was my day? We I got it to a fight it some girl/guy (one person). She dumped a crap load of water on me, some got on he, she got pissed. She/he said was gonna "send me to the hospital." I said "you and what army" She punch me (more like a tap on the check you mom gave you when you where two), I laugh at her face, said it was lame, he done it again, I laughed hard.

The bus driver seeing this turns the buss around when we are 3/4 of the way to home, to go back to school. The girl/guy goes up to the bus river, give him a line of bull, she/he got him to turn the BACK around again and go home.

So I got home around 5:30, when I normally get home at 4:45 (school get off at 4:00).

Today I'll probably get pulled out of class to to the AP's office for a "fight" She probably said I hit her something like that. Oh well all in due time.........

Yea you wont notice much of any difference on the burnishing...You have to look really close to notice anything..But if the thread was wrap with very light tension you should be fine...On the epoxy coats,if you go back to the thread I posted on it,I put in directions for ya on how I did the epoxy coats..
Any yes!!,let that the underwrap fully cure before starting the top wrap to avoid ''sinking in''

I stayed up late last night...Adding that decal is a pain in the a$$!!
Four attempts and not one came out good...In fact,I had the strip and re-wrap the butt wrap because the adhesive from the decal ruined the white thread...I think I got it figured out now...Ill try again tomorrow.Its the black background I used thats not working...It shows too many imperfections..Wrinkles,bubbles,etc....I need to do black letters and a clear background and not try and wrap it all the way around...I experimented with it before I strip off the old butt wrap and it came out good.
Besides that everything else is done!...The guides came out looking good with the epoxy on it,not perfect like Im anal about,but good...Just gotta finishing the butt wrap and Im taking it fishing.

Bcklash - Before I got married,waking up like that meant it was going to be a great day.....full of hacky sacking and disc golf
Bassboss - You cant be messing with those transexuals.....or Emo kids (samething)hahaha
