I just thought I would share an early christmas present with you guys, I had been running my paasche millenium airbrush with a little cheapo blue testors compressor. Needless to say it wasnt the greatest, never quite sure how much pressure you were gonna get and no way to regulate it was interesting at best. Well, dad came through again and got me a new compressor through proxy, he put money in my account and told me he didnt want me saving it for bills, said he wanted me to get myself, tara and aidan gifts. So I found a nice one that still allows me to save money for bills(I just couldnt do it, I cant just spend a bunch knowing I have the same amount of bills due next month). So without further delay, here is my first decent airbrush compressor combo.................

 

 

Taaadaaaa.

P.S. Dont mind the mess, just my living room. Me and tara have gotten good at a lot of the being grown up stuff but we are still working on the cleaning up part. And I will go ahead and head everybody off at the pass by saying I know aidan will be crawling soon, we are going to get our act together shortly. I think its gonna be a new years resolution, along with my quitting smoking

Good luck on the quitting smoking, TLP! I finally did it so I know you can. I had been smoking for 42 years! I KNOW you haven't been at it that long!

If you need any assistance? Go to the post where we all posted our pictures......find mine.......copy and paste it to your photo edit program.....puff the face up to about 2 or 3 times from what it is.........draw a white tube taped into my mouth and laying in a hospital bed! If that ain't inspiration enough, I don't know what is. That's what I looked like in November 2006!

Sorry to sound so depressing on Christmas Eve but, if I can help Aidan to have a Daddy for many, many years to come and Tara to grow old with her true love? Then it is worth it. Again, good luck, Bud!!!! I'll keep you all in my prayers.

Oh! And if you feel the urge to choke somebody out? Walk away and send me an email. I'll ALWAYS be here for you!! 

OH!! And nice compressor!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Just about 24 hours to go now folks. The hard part is I am off work tomorrow so the day will just drag on and on. I might just stay in bed also to make it pass faster.

Late breaking  direct from the North Pole Chronical.

. Santa is well ahead of schedule.  All presents, including special SSGB's are prepared and ready.  Santa and his reindeer are heading out on a test run. 

Your star reporter (unnamed to protect the innocent) has heard that Drew is being tormented with only two days to go.  But rest my friend, Santa has informed me (top secret information - anonomous source), that Drew's house has a special STAR on Santa's GPS, no not big brother watching.  According to this high profile source, it is guaranteed, Drew's house will not be missed.  Drew's agony will be eased, only two more days.  Hang in there BigGuy.

I will be busy the next few days, so if I can't get back to everyone before the big day.

I may just make it the 2 DAYS.  But I fear some of the parts have fused from the friction cuased by me picking up the box and shaking it just to make sure it's still inside. 

  Now that's funny, no matter who you are!!! GIT 'R DONE!!!!!

How in the world does it go from, 'you opened a Christmas present early!' to 'you're having an affair!', in the course of one conversation? But, then I have spent time in Rock Springs, WY and there really ain't a whole lot that I saw that could tempt me into an affair! Not saying that there may not be some good looking women there just, in 1988, I sure didn't see 'em!!!

Naughty, naughty.

I can imagine how you are being teased by the brightly wrapped gift and your Christmas tree.  I smell a conspiracy to torture u as much as they can.

You notice that shiney red ornament? The one with the snow flake on it? The one that you or your wife don't remember ever having? Right next to the silver one with the green and white candy cane? It's the tree cam!! Don't touch it!! It's wired with 50,000 volts from a stun gun!!!! It will not deactivate until 12:00:01 on December 24th! Mischief [:-,]
