What you did Brad C is known in Australia as "putting the moz on yourself".

I'm pleased to see you have now adjusted your behaviour as proved by your statement about how long it could take to fix your trucks tailgate.

[NARSES2]

You certainly put the mocker's on it as we say over here.

Hope it gets better soon

Interesting, I, a South Australian, also say "mockers". Odd.

Not surprising really as my understanding is that the term was an Australian slang term in the first place. Came over here with the Aussie forces in WWI.

As I've got older I've learnt that very little of what we consider to be English actually started out life here

I shoulda knocked on some wood.       I'm not superstitious but I could have knocked on some wood anyway for good measure. I always do it when someone says, "knock on wood, dude!"   

OK....  this is the serious heat day. Supposed to be 107 with all the humidity and junk so I've not scheduled any lawns today but now I'll be outside anyway tinkering with the handle thing... I need that done because I need that truck back because it has AC and my yellow one doesn't. But... you know... sure was nice to have that yellow truck ready to go when I needed it (aside from airing up the tire).      Should be back to work on my F-16 some time this afternoon. I have to go pick up trash and after that it may be too hot to tinker with the handle but I sure would like to get that done so I have peace of mind about it.... but.... you know... EITHER WAY I should have both time and energy this evening and it's time for transfers. It's possible I even finish the thing today if I get a burst of energy going. 

[TheChronicOne]

Woo!! I burned the hell out of my scalp....   but I got the trash picked up and fixed the tailgate. It only took about 30 minutes and not three hours so I'm pretty stoked. Now I can work on the airplane. 

[PR19_Kit]

Hats, think HATS!

[TheChronicOne]

Yes sir!! I trust you as the authority on that; problem is I switched trucks again this morning and forgot the damn thing. I was actually walking around picking up trash with my hand over the crown of my heard like a monkey rubbing his head but it didn't quite do the trick.      I'll not likely make that mistake again any time soon. To top it all off, I accidentally put some of my muscle cream MENTHOL gel on it thinking it was the stuff I have for sunburns and man.... the pain of that!!!! It was like someone poured boiling water on my scalp!          I ain't got nothing or noone to blame but myself for the whole chain of stupidity.   



While I'm here... current state of the XL:

Take extra care mate, a sun burnt scalp is one way to get heatstroke and everything associated with it and that can be dangerous. Only had it the once and I never want it again.

I'm not superstitious either (touching wood when I say that  ) but I do tend to say that and actually touch the nearest available piece when I push my luck. I also say "good morning Mr Magpie" every time I see one, which is often. As I said I'm not superstitious 

[PR19_Kit]

I'm trying (and failing.....  ) NOT to laugh about you putting menthol gel on your hear Brad. NOT a good idea.

LOVING The XL, it looks REALLY good in that scheme, and with all those weapons arrayed in front it'd look right at home at Farnborough on Press Day. 

[Old Wombat]

Only "touch wood" that works for me is tapping the right side of my head with the tips of my fingers.

Like Chris, I'm not superstitious .... Just cautious & covering all bases!

[reddfoxx]

XL looks great!

I'm only superstitious at work.  Never fails, if someone says we're running really well, something WILL break.

That's my fall back position if no wood is available, or if I'm not certain something is really wood

Thanks!!!   Yeah... the menthol on the noggin was one of the most intense feelings I've ever experienced. My throat nearly closed off and my heart started fluttering around and stuff. It almost made me start praying to Jesus because I was like, "Dude this is probably what hell feels like!!!"   

I have a beasstly lawn number 14 of the week to deal with today in 100 degree weather again but once that's done I plan to get all the transfers on the XL and matte clear it then I suppose I can finish the thing off tonight or tomorrow... Probably wind up being 5-6 days from now knowing my pace lately, but that's alright!
