Fluffy white clouds and cobalt blue skies. Haven’t seen that in a while.

& now my basement is reorganized.
No, not a perfectionist, I just don't like using tape, or drop cloth. Just me & the brush.
Busy Bee Busy Bee Busy Bee !
Airless pumps, spray guns and automatic rollers are out of the question ?
I absolutely hate painting, I understand the value of sealant, waterproofing, and rustproofing but truth be told, I'd rather take a beating. Anything I can do to speed up the process, sign me up, game on.
Feel vindicated, accomplished, justified ?
We could of just as easily packed up the car, headed to the mountains and soaked our toes in a cold mountain stream. Counted the stars on a clear cool night while listening to the fire crackle as our steaks sizzled on the grill.
We have different definitions of vacationing..:-)
I bought a spray gun before but I never cleaned out properly, so I tossed it. I only bought it to paint the basement ceiling / underfloor beams & that was accomplished. I wasn't in the best mind frame at the time because my body was sick so I just tossed that thing in the garbage. I can't fuss around with the tape. Paint always leaks underneath of it and I can never get it straight. Brushes nowadays paint such a straight line as long as I go slow, it looks great.
I love the mountains. My parents own a lot of acreage upstate. I haven't talked to them in almost 10 years but I am trying to bridge that gap. Maybe next year for vacation.
Seem to be the trend, I've 6 air sprayers and three airless ones, all picked up second hand for super cheap because of improper cleaning, I strip them and soak in carb cleaner or zoelene. Rinse dry assemble replace a seal or two, good to go... So much for shop talk...
I do however envision a zen painter bee with a lone brush studying Miyagi karate "stroke up...stroke down lilybeeson".
How was the reunion today? Lots of happy faces? Did you have special a party planned?
10 years you say, your a better person than I. I'm working past 40 and have no intentions of a reversal. I let it all go long ago, came to the realization they weren't going to change, and were too toxic to let in.
I hope you find peace with it one way or another.
Ps. We can find our own mountain streams.
In hindsight, I should not have been so careless with the sprayer but I also wouldn't have painted the beams myself; a painter would have cost more than the sprayer.
I didn't have the reunion yet but thank you. My parents mean well, I think, but it's always been hard to see how. You haven't seen your parents in 40 years?? That's sad, including the reasons that caused it. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm only attempting this for the sake of trying to repair the damage caused to my children. They were great at turning my kids against me. My daughter has come around & seen the light. She is my bff again but my son may be irreversibly damaged. He acts like he isn't mad but there is no relationship between us - not like how it should have been. He was my buddy when he was growing up. I would really like my son back.
I would love my own mountain stream. I actually just got back from the river..... Good times for the 5 year old that tags along with me 😄. It's so hot today, I let him in the water.
