        LOL. That's why I had these awful flash-backs to EAB drills as I was mounting this thing!

        God, I hated those... and it seemed each time I had to pull one of those clammy, uncomfortable things over my puss I got the one previously used by a two-pack-a-day smoker who had yet to realize the virtues of oral hygiene!!! Same thing with Scott air-packs and OBA's! YUCK!

          YES! Scott air-packs masks! Learned that lesson well! I finally broke down and purchased my own, and OMG It even went home with me off shift, and even bunked with it during down time!!

                You have always had great drawing skills. Unfortunately or fortunately(depending on your POV), like it or not that makes you an artist. Most new alleged talents today need AI to illustrate and they think drawing by hand or any kind of fabrication by hand is outdated. It's always refreshing to come visit you and your actual work here.

                  That out of the way, I have an interesting story to relate to you if I find the time later today, Steve. You'll love it. It deals with my 'artistic' skills and the premier SF movie reference document, Watch The Skies.

                    Ooh! Don't forget how wonderful it is to get the mask that the last user cleaned out with way too much Wescodyne and put it away wet. Looked like someone pooped in it!!! I do know that CO's are not appreciative when they grab that one!!!!!!

                      (If the last guy was an Auxiliaryman, then, yeah, it likely was poop)

                          There are those who might call him MacGyver...

                          I just refer to him as 'Sir' as I humbly lay tribute at his feet.

                          You must be looking for an effect that only something like this can give.

                            Yes, indeed. The device is a means of projecting a spackling of toothpaste onto a surface that is being weathered. That water soluble medium acting as a painting mask. A mask that is easily removed with a damp cloth.

                              Ha! OK a craftsman. A person that can make anything with their bare hands whether there's electricity or not.

                              I'd like to hear that story. When you have time.​

                                LOL. FINALLY!... I beat you into submission, Steve. Took long enough.

                                (For everyone looking over our shoulders: Steve Neill is very much an 'artist', in every complementary meaning of the word. Look up his **** -- decades of amazing stuff. R/c aircraft, submarines; flying rockets; public domain; commercial; and motion picture-TV work).

                                OK, Steve, I'll relate the entire, lurid story tonight. Should be good for a few LOL's.
