Part of the training for my job calls for me to be pepper sprayed. Did that today, and then cranked my AC all the way cold and used it to relieve the pain. For those who haven't experienced it, I would advise you to avoid the experience. If you must, prepare for a whole new kind of hurt.

Threw this on and then took her for a drive to knock the rust off after sitting for a week. A week of driving a rental Dodge Caravan sure makes me appreciate my baby again.

Washed the car yesterday and then drove it up to Mount Snow again today...it is covered in salt and dirt again. The neighbor's brother may be bringing me a...
Sprayed the side markers with nite shades and took off the door moldings. Waiting on the neighbor to come over and work the throttle while I suck up seafoam.
