I think it comes to him in dreams, in the 3 or 4 hours he sleeps per night!

I went to a local saw mill today just to see what was out there. Because of modifications to truck, any bed wood kit purchased would have to be modified. I found these boards and thought grain was too cool. Its a soft wood but unlikely I'll be hauling anything in it other than lawn chair and ice chest anyway. $40 got me more than enough wood for a bed. This is cedar but he also had oak, cypress and pineImage

Those are going to look awesome in the bed Todd! Nice choice.

Oh, and the paint thing, I will tell you my secret. I have messed up and screwed up in everyway possible and learned how NOT to do it. I have done stuff before and the words going through my mind at the time were, "Idiot, why did you do that" :lol:

That cedar is going to look nice Todd. It's always cool when someone does something just a little different than everyone else!

Don't let Keith fool ya, He's from down south he's got the "Mojo" goin' with the paintin' thing!

Last Wednesday night I came home from training to the strong smell of paint. Turns out a gallon of clear JUMPED off the shelf onto the floor spilling every drop!! The next day wife and kids found a kitten in the garage and chased it away before I could get home, I was gonna stuff it for a Halloween decoration! Luckily the spill only made a mess on floor and not truck.
Sun came out Friday and I was able to get welder running and get a little work done

Wish I could cath that ghost in my shop that knocks over things, or worse yet moves the stuff around so I can't find anything. :roll:

I had something similar happen Todd, I just wish it was a cat though. I would go into the area I mix paint and the smaller cans kept being knocked on the floor. I would put the cans back and the next day was the same thing.

I found what it was one day when I grabbed a quart off the shelf, a big fat chicken snake! :shock: Damn near had a heart attack and then almost destroyed my shop trying to kill it! :lol:
