The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[day_trippr]

I've never had the pleasure of using a big gun (tiny airbrushes for modeling, yes). Mostly because my houses were always stained using alkyd/oils and cleaning that up would be a bitch on a good day and a hose and pump killer on a bad day. Plus I can't see gunning railings - the overspray would be crazy high and paint ain't cheap! (the stuff I'm using is $55/gallon plus tax ffs!)

Seems to me you could roll on your paint then sprinkle sand like most folks do

Cheers!

This paint (Pettit EZ Poxy) comes in at a sphincter puckering $149.99 per gallon. (Plus another $50 for the non-skin sand.) I will thin it, tape the sh!t out of the cabin and spray the whole interior, then tape out sections of deck, roll them and try the guys idea of using the sprayer to blow the nonskid onto the deck for a nice even finish. Back in the day we broadcast sand onto the wet pain and then rolled over the top but those were military vessels and appearance was secondary to traction. I want traction but it needs to look nice. I suppose I could use some sort of sifter or grass seed spreader. We'll see. All of life is an experiment in getting it right.

I’d be tempted to stir the sand into the amount of topcoat you need, pay the neighbors kid to sit and stir it constantly as you rolled it on.

[it sounds simple in my head. It is nothing I have ever done. Pls refer to my post on how many Redditors it takes to screw in a light bulb. Sorry, I mean “lamp”]

The daily cleaning of tree schmutz the gets on screened in porch table. I just mowed @Hoppy2bmerry and I feel like this is all up in my lungs now.

 

[day_trippr]

Hah! Ironically, I've had my huge shop vac hooked up to my fancy sanders through all this stupid sanding (done as of an hour ago! ) to avoid breathing paint dust. Meanwhile I've been breathing that "all natural" tree stuff for a week. I coughed less when I was still a smoker

 

[day_trippr]

Been rockin' to the booming weather since dinner. Timely - it'll wash all the paint dust off the deck!

 

[balrog]

pretty much wash the entire deck off the house if it was like here

Mother Nature's Pressure Washer, indeed.

Philly fan ejected from sports event last night. World is back to normal. Pandemic is officially over.

And Charlie Baker says it’s ok to take off your mask starting at 8:00 tomorrow morning.

Any of you schlubs take ‘em off at 7:45 and I’m calling the cops.

 

[Tipsy McStagger]

I took mine off yesterday.F*** Charlie.

 

[day_trippr]

My self-preserving side thinks you all and everyone else outside my bubble are diseased bipedal vermin which requires me to maintain my double-masking regimen. So I got that working for me

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Just call it Masstoberfest.

 

[paulthenurse]

Looking forward to Massyoberfest. where if the pizza don’t kill ya the local COVID variant is hiding in the bushes.

 

[balrog]

Yeah but do we have to make a beer with COlumbus/VIctoriasecret/Delta hop combos, as a theme?

 

[paulthenurse]

No. Personally I like to make Belgians using panties from the dead hookers from under my shed. You want to talk about funky flavors? Goodness gracious, that’s some unusually tasty brew.

I’ve pretty much given up on any brew with more than four total ounces of hops per five gallon batch. I realize I speaking heresy but the super hoppy IPA’s suck. New England IPA’s suck doubly. A birthday cake is not inherently better because it’s covered in 10 inches of frosting. Please, for the love of the Schweet Baby Jeezuz, start brewing British pub ales again. I’m begging you.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I'm going to lick your pint when you're not looking.

 

[balrog]

I have one word for you, @paulthenurse .



Altbier.

 

[paulthenurse]

I'm going to lick your pint when you're not looking.

This is where PTN turns to the wall and mutters under his breath “Great, I got The Dude offering to ‘lick my pint’ on an Internet forum and I practically have to buy her a new car........”

AGREE, at 72 I think breathing thru a mask is better than through a box just till the world gets spinning covid free or at least under control. , health and age is factored in here ! just saying.

 

[Dland]

Maybe a bit off topic for this bunch,, but brewing today under tent in this little nor'easter. Heart is not really in it today, but the lager pipeline must be maintained.

Happy Memorial Day folks.
I’m finally getting sun after a very November-like weekend, so I’ve got @Yooper Haus Pale and some Snappys.

 

[paulthenurse]

Nice looking pint.

Masstoberfest will return this fall or I'll die trying.

Stop cheering you azzholess.

Darn! I'm busy that day.

 

[day_trippr]

Yoop stealing Cape's lines now?

 

[paulthenurse]

Darn! I'm busy that day.

We know you don’t mean that.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I might cry. Some Hill Farmsteads

Another chance to unload the trophy Sire??

I don’t have it, Brian O’Grady (BullsBeers, an ‘Original Masstoberfester) does. He’s been lucky enough to get an extra year out of it and I expect that he’ll mask up and vaccinate Nurse Smurf on the top.

I had a great weekend. Last year I painted the deck of LSU and it looked pissa. Unfortunately, it was slick as a Vaselined mirror and more than one person took a dixy when it got wet
Saturday I sanded off all that nice paint and washed off and cleaned up the interior. Sunday I wiped it all down with thinner (I haven’t been that high at any of the dozens of Dead concerts I’ve been to) then taped off sections of the deck. Working backwards I rolled new paint onto small section then using the ol’ Salt Bea method hand sprinkled a nice layer of the nonskid onto the wet paint. Managed to climb around on the gunnels and get onto the chairs in the cabin and could reach down and pull up the tape after a few hours. Looks pisss. It needed to sit for 16 hours or so before I could re-coat so the weather screwed me today.
I also managed to sand and varnish the teak and wash, compound, and wax the starboard side before I decided I didn’t have it left in me to tackle the port in the direct sun. So 75% of the way there. I had a lot more time to f around when I wasn’t babysitting one day a week.
