Well... because the internet is a terrible place, the new thing is that I'm currently being comment bombed by someone trying to sell t-shirts and other merch with my logo on it.

I am not currently selling t-shirts, and am working to ban these accounts, but if you get tagged by someone offering you t-shirts please go ahead and report it and kindly ignore.

If you would *like* me to do t-shirts I can look into that. I mean... that's what I did before this.

Hey, did you know the Riverton Fair is coming up, like, shockingly soon? Think I should probably start in the chair. Gonna try to do a bit of a follow through on this one as it goes through the steps. Oh yeah, I can save this.

Up in Southwick running a pickup with the wife so we stopped at ShoreShot Cafe for lunch. Found this little chess table that I rarely see around. I know I have the stencil set, but it's not overly common to see one in the wild. (I was of course irritating her by IDing all the chairs as well.)

See, being in new digs is already making friends. Got a call from a local company about a repair. Let's see what we make happen for them.

Improvise, adapt, overcome!

The fact that I don't have a big compressor or my spraybooth yet doesn't mean I'm out of commission. The new paint that I've moved to is a water base, so it's actually fine to spray with basic ventilation. At least for small stuff, running a fan and having a big door means that I can get started on projects, even if it's not how I would normally choose this.

It ain't much, but it's honest work.I already have my first completed job ready for pickup!

Man, moving shops is long. The power is in (call-out to Holmes Electric) and the tools are here, but I still need to pipe in the air and the booth is waiting on a part. Still, there is work being done.

It's going to be Tuesday before I'm in reliably, but if you have small jobs - parts, reglues, minor repairs - I have a shop and couple hands, and the bigger jobs will be getting into prep works as soon as the capability is hooked up. In the meantime, Mark gets his chairs, and we get to keep going.

Major move day! I think this may be the last big move out day. The electricians are running power at the new shop, and we're at the home stretch!
