You know, Orin, if the wind ever stops blowing, you guys will be so used to leaning over into the wind, you will all fall over onto your faces!

man I suck at painting with an airless painter. Stupid thing kept plugging up and splattering paint chunks all over the wall. Ending up scraping most of it back off. Now I have a big mess. Not sure what to do next. still working on a plan

Miles, did you strain the paint out through a filter before you sprayed it? If not, it will plug up the tip pretty quickly.

I put about a cup or two of water in a two gallon bucket of kilz. The airless has a strainer in the supply tube but it is pretty big screen. I think the problem comes from two areas. I think the green paint, after closed inspection is oil based paint. It is really slippery and the latex primer will not stick. I think the second problem came from a combination of having to boost the pressure up pretty high to get a good pattern and not spraying fast enough. Lots of paint coming out which ended up too thick. Pretty big mess right now.

Hey Scott. I was trying to lose some weight. It actually worked! Now, dont get me wrong, I didn't quit drinking, just switched to rum for a month!

I don't know about tomorrow....Not a fan of either....may have to go with the Cards, though..Ralph Brown, CB, former Husker plays on AZ. Actually, I just want it to be a good game! Well, time for another beer!

Oh yeah... good plan. I always use Jack Daniels to lose my weight, I'm sure rum works the same way!

I'll pretend I didn't see the rest...
