Is it "Normal" summer weather for you?

I'm content, but if a great deal came along I might be persuaded.
What is your favorite brand of power tools?

Nope. I had given thought to going into a digital printer, but don't feel the local market is strong enough yet. With some larger businesses coming in to the area, that may change.
What was the nicest thing you did for someone else today?

I told the waitress she made a mistake on our bill tonight. She forgot to add our coffees. Ten minutes later, she handed a five dollar bill I dropped out of my pocket. Nice begets nice, eh?
Cable, dish, or whatever you get for free?

two- one standard one, and another company offered a great interest rate on any balance transfers a couple of years ago, so I did a balance transfer to them, and reduced the first one to zero, unfortunately it didn't stay at zero!
Thanks John, invite them all down here! Actually, Mack brushes have just made a very special and unique donation to our LetterheadsOz event which I'll mention later.
Do you plan to retire and actually STOP painting ever?

OK, that was a rhetorical question...now for the real one- is your workshop big enough?

Yup. My work space downstairs is big enough. Since I got a "real" job, I just don't need as much. Still, I have my awesome fully hydraulic drafting table, very nifty cabinets I bought from Jimmy Wilke, and the Blue Dress Bombshell cabinet I got from Mark Rogan (a truly talented and neat guy). I still have my work computer and I have my cutter.
I want to do some stuff but it just isn't a priority. Life is great!
I have a 1971 Vega Panel Express in my garage. My wife calls it the "OiVega". I haven't done much to it but I plan to.
Do you have a project car?

No but I know someone here that does... Too bad he makes such an ass of himself when he drinks. He is a decent guy when he is not drunk.
What do you have for pets?

Only one pet here- a white cockatiel that Joan found on the side of the road one day- but plenty of 'farm animals': four dogs, three cats, eight(?) guinea pigs, 30(?) chickens, two geese, 25 cattle, 15 clydesdales, 1 quarter horse. You don't count the few dozen kangaroos that free-load on our grass down the gully paddock.
Will you ever be satisfied with your current computer system?
