The weather report predicts rain for the next five days. I briefly
contemplate slashing my wrists then figure going to the shop and sorting
nuts and bolts is a better alternative. That done worked up my resolve to
repair and clean the bugeye/73RWA project seats before I spray them with
black vinyl dye. Unbolted them and took them into my wee shop where I get
high on Acetone, Tetrahydrofuran, Diethyl Hexyl Phthalate, Methanol,
Toluene, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Propylene Glycol, Monomethyl Ether Acetate,
Ethyl Acetate and Xylene.
The labels on the Vinyl Sealant and Lacquer Thinner cans informs me "Reports
have associated repeated and prolonged overexposure to solvents with
neurological and other physiological damage . . . and I should not mis-use
it . . .duh! To save a few remaining brain cells in spite of the cold I
opened the shop door for a few minutes. Had some strange dreams last night.
If this keeps up by the time the project car is completed I will be too
retarded to drive it. On the news last night was a report that accident
rates go up for people over 65 . . . at 66 perhaps I should take up needle
point but . . . way I look at it better to die in a Spridget under a 16
wheeler than boredom in a recliner chair.
