Morning John. Lou, I like that you have the time to get on here to tell us you're running late. That's commitment brother!

Chuck, I'd never disrespect you by calling you old unless it was to your face. I'd just say you're wise enough to still be alive after a long time.

Morning Chuck, Chris, Doc, Greg, Lou, Russ, Mick, John, Al, and anyone else I missed.

I tried that and the clear doesn't like to stick to polished aluminum. There may be a specialized product out there that will stick, but I'm told clear anodizing is the way to go.

Chuck - take Doc's advice and just buy some chrome ones.

Thanks for the compliment Chris but after my ladder incident and a long list of others, I have come to the conclusion that the Lord picks the day not me.

Well I'm a hands on person so I guess that's on me. Chrome looks different than polish and will wear a lot better too. Plus, since someone else would be doing it, it would be easier. But more expensive.

As far ad that ladder incident, that was a stupid fluke and you're here to laugh about it. Don't laugh, it will hurt. God picks our day, it's beyond us. My advice, be a bad christian and work on getting better as you get older. Then He'll have no choice but to keep you around longer.

Hey Al. How's your dog? Mine was stung in the face last night by a scorpion. She's fine this morning.

That is truly inspirational, the type of advice a big brother would offer.

I agree Mick. I would be honored to be Chuck's big brother.
