and then!
look, i dunno how long since naval vessels even had wooden, spoked, PIRATE STEERING WHEELS!!! but this one's original ware n tear! and i offered to sand it to b clearcoated/whatever... knowing u diy aholes were here, to hold my hand.
we have the summer of murderer, instructed, sanding in marina del Rey, drydock, to teach us that- and shoveling snow, r two careers we never wanna have. I'd rather go gay and sell my pooka, on street corners, between hate beatings.... so while i may not fucking remember how the old man showed me to fold sandpaper, at least 1000 times... i know sanding over clearcoat/yacht name, "scout"... without, "DON'T FUCK UP THE NAME PAINT, BENEATH"... so i figure if i ignore what he said about putty knives i don't remember, anyway... i could kid glove, possibly 200yrs, in my meathooks!!! i know i know and yes, i know better, but omg... who else is gonna pay their weight in tears, if they fuck it, besides me!!!
this is the bullshit support system i suffer, every day:
-g
bitch sends me a ss of a 145yr old one, lovely finish... $675
thank u, g.... sigh
and this one, looks like driftwood... it's vetted... legit... yes, they have a lovely, finished one, already... i don't imagine there r many, around, much less, for sale... yes, g... i heard u... and agree... i am crazy and possibly, a lil stupid.
so then...
-ltr
you're asking me, what grain and u feel qualified
did u tell him about.... (whatever the old guy term is for ubberclumsy)...
-sc
of course
-ltr
i think you should tell him you can't
-sc
already said i could
-ltr
i think you should reinforce whatever you told him about... (old guy term for fucking retarded)
-sc
Larry the roofer, how bad could it b... if u think g, is gonna let me Richard jr around the family room, with sandpaper and priceless, irreplaceable history, for the next 2 weeks, u r sorely, mistaken, sir... you... on the other hand... wouldn't give a dam about an extra piece of sandpaper around the joint, while u spend the next 2 wks on vacation, bonding with ur new fukn pup... now, i know i left u alone to c him, in post-op... but if u think I'm not comin over, the next 2 wks, to pet a new pup i don't have to scoup, or scoop, for... again, sir... u r sorely, mistaken.
if i fuk up... you'll say something... otherwise, i know hand sanding... know in equal parts, exactly how much to hate it... and know better than to let myself within 500miles of anything, with a putty knife. i got this.
-10min later
back at the club, with my ride... a horse blanket n somewhat empty, sled.
-head honcho
MIA
well... they have my number... perhaps i shouldn't hurry, to saddle up, at that club... they have my number and... perhaps someone is better qualified...
