Fret not oh balrog. Kale is not so bad, but perhaps one could admit it is a little oversold. Lot of other good greens out there, some are better cooked, but of course that is a personal decision. Around here kale is often consumed in a hearty soup w potatoes and linqucia.
Hope 'tripper has a barf bag by his fancy computer, but at least he did not barf in his mouth again. (On a side note, I think one of 'tripper's posts introduced me to that concept).
On the bulkhead paint question, if one has one of those old Bilcos that were left in primer, and it has a rust patina; I'd roll and brush finish w Rustolium rusty metal primer and cover with rustolium oil based top cote in available color of your choice. OK to prep with sander and grinder, but I'd just pressure wash and then run a good putty knife over any flaking paint, rust nodules. I don't see the point, most of the time, in trying to make stuff last more than ten years longer than I'm likely too.
I still put copper antisieze on most bolts while mechanicing on my old machines. Got to give the future generation a chance, on the off chance they might want any old stuff to run again.
Have a good week, to anyone who has bothered to read this...[;
