"Pardon me, is my driving interfering with your phone call?" You haven't lived till you've knocked on a ford explorer's driver window from your bike, and asked that question.

"Drive now, Talk later" is the click & clack bumper sticker.

Heh. Some of that shop used to be painted white, a long long time ago. The walls are loose stone, and somebody tried to mortar the joints - so any paint that would go on there would tend to come off pretty fast. The overhead is another matter, but I tend to have most of my lights with reflectors that shine down towards the benchs or machines.

This is one of those things that I'm gonna get a 'round-to' one of these days!

I'd pay to see that film!

Yabbut, it makes more impact when the driver behind you holds it up in your rear view mirror which you occasionally glance at after redialing.

Once you realize how much brighter it is in a room with white walls, you'll kick yourself if the arse 1,000 times for not doing it sooner. DAMHIKT

Spray thinned latex with a garden sprayer or borrowed airless spray rig and let it dry overnight. Wow, what a difference in the morning! (I wish I'd thought of that before rolling my 2- carless shop 3 times.) The white floor (not epoxy, just porch paint) is helpful, too. Ever look for a lost screw on a white floor? It shows up in seconds while it could take hours on an ugly gray cement floor. Me? I'll never go to any other color.

Gloss whites have far too much glare, so use eggshell or flat. Repaint when the inevitable fingerprints get too noticeable.

Look, the *last* thing I need is a portable, untethered phone that the ladies of the house can wander around with, yakking all day long.

So the main phones in the house are candlestick type, with short cords. So the person has to stand there, with both hands occupied.

That reminds me of a joke by Steven Wright: "I invented the cordless extension cord."
