Liquid Rantings

Just a brief rant this morning.

I was up and about early this morning and I decided to run down and check the Business Mailbox early before it got busy since I haven’t checked it in a few days.  So I head out, hop in the car and as I’m backing out of the garage my gas light comes on.  Its early still, so I figure I’ll hit the gas station and fill up the car before it gets too busy there as well.  So I head off on my merry way.  As I’m standing at the pump at the gas station filling the car, I notice a truck come roaring in off the main street.  It pulls to a stop at the pump next to me and the passenger door flies open.  I figured it was someone that needed coffee or the restroom or something.

Its the start of another new year, and its the time of the year where everyone makes all manner of resolutions that they will have forgotten by the first of February. I’ve never been fond of resolutions as they always end too lofty and vague to actually keep going. Not to mention that my needs and goals tend to shift throughout the year anyways. Rather than making resolutions for things I’d “like” to do this year, I decided to sit down and restructure some things and actually make some changes right now. I look at this as an evolutionary process. This will probably change as the year progresses, so I’ll make every effort to update this as things change. For now, this is how I’ve structured things.

Just another reason I like living with a little space around the house.

“Or how little I like working with reflective material.”

Usually I dont post too terirbly much about work related things here, but this has been consuming a good chunk of my time, and its turning out pretty nice if I do say so myself.  This is my latest client project.   We are creating a “replica” Department of Public Safety Car for a collector overseas.  All of the logos and striping are completely custom to avoid issues with the “real” cars. (Which are still in service)  But everything is similar enough to confuse everyone that has seen the car in person.  Almost every part of the car has something on it.  From small striping above the windows and on A-pillars and bumper ends, to the gigantic stripes and logos, roof lettering, trunk panels, and a million little parts here and there.  It should look pretty good when it goes home though.  And after dark, it lights up like a christmas tree.  I am looking forward to sending this on its way and getting back to some basic projects with regular material that is easier to work with.   Its been an interesting project though.
