"Almost there..."

... to quote an X-Wing pilot right before he gets blown up by Darth Vader.
Painting continues to consume my days. I was hoping to be done tonight, but it looks like I will have to suck it up another day. Or lighten up.
I'm not sure which at this point, but at least it still continues to progress.
I guess the most frustrating thing is seeing the end result, knowing you still have a ways to get there.
Like some evil long climb. A lot like Loomis Hill here in town. Fine with gears, the devil on a singlespeed. I'll tell more stories about the delights of Loomis Hill, but to give you a snapshot, progress is measured by where someone has thrown up, not miles. It's long, and wicked steep in parts.
The good thing about painting though, is that I continue to enjoy the support of friends. It's much easier with help. Less hurling too.
So next up is clean up, touch up, clean up again. Then build stuff.
I like to build stuff.
