Friday Night Paint Prep Club – Part B

More pictures from paint prep night.

I got those green chairs from my Aunt Linda to with a sweet white table she was throwing away. Those chairs are surprisingly popular. That is also Shannon showing off her taping skills.

Life Lesson: When working on a ceiling fan, don’t ask for the fan to be turned on when your heads are still in the blades.

Work Half Done

October 8, 2008 Christopher D. Bennett

Before delving further into the Cyclone game, I need to post a website.

WEBSITE DELETED

You should check out this website if you live anywhere near Kansas (which according to Google Analytics none of you do, but I am strangely big in Gillette, Wyoming) and head to this sale.

My Aunt Linda is downsizing her possessions as she is looking to move into a smaller house. She has some pretty sweet stuff for sale. I am personally eying the bowl of billiard balls. But there is much, much more.

1950 Mar Company metal dollhouses
Unique small, black Duncan Phyfe table
3 Treadle sewing machines
Washboards
Wooden rolling pins
Handmade maple bread boards
Electric freestanding roaster
Red & White Graniteware
Wilton cake pans
2 Living Room sets – 4pc & 3pc
Old kitchen cabinet
Antique pot belly stove
2 antique cook stoves
2 Wood desks circa 1950
Treddle sewing machine base table
4′ Oak church pew
Wooden school desk
Gossip bench
Claw-foot bathtub

I don’t even know what a Gossip bench is, but it sounds pretty cool.

To the game…

I am told that “work half-done isn’t done at all”. The Cyclones ended the 2nd Quarter with the game half done and owning a commanding lead.

Cyclones 20 Jayhawks 0

I have to be honest. Sometimes being a Cyclone fan is like being hit in the head with a mallet every morning. I’ve seen the Cyclones blow enough leads in my time that with a 20-0 lead, all I could think about it during halftime was when we fumbled the ball away in the red zone and lost a scoring opportunity.

Dear, Beloved, Precious

September 22, 2008 Christopher D. Bennett

My Aunt Linda is renting out her acreage. This has caused her to get rid of some of the things in the acreage. I benefited from this downsizing by getting a sweet new table.

Aunt Linda

So I got Steve and Jesse together and we drove over to the acreage and picked up the sweet table.

Steve and Jesse

When we got back to Steve’s house he showed me the zucchini that had grown “too large” in his garden and now he is going to allow them to rot.

Too Beaucoup

Apparently Steve feels like when zucchini gets too large the seeds become too hard and Steve doesn’t like hard zucchini seeds. I think this makes him soft.

Whatever Jesse does disappoints Steve

So I bid a fond adieu to Steve and Jesse.

I went home to admire my new table.

The Sweetness

I’m very excited about this table. It is going to make an awesome workspace table some day. It will be perfect for painting, matting and cutting. Plus it has a drawer! The drawer is super long.

Yes I know that nobody else is as excited about this table as I am, but those of you that don’t see the greatness of this table can bugger off!

Mystery Barn

September 23, 2007 Christopher D. Bennett

I spent Saturday morning hanging out in an old barn on my Aunt Linda’s acreage. She had suggested it as a place to find interesting photo subjects. I scouted it out on Thursday night after work and came back on Saturday morning when there was better light so I could shoot everything with available light. All of the pictures on the inside of the barn were shot with only the light that was filtering into the barn through the one door I propped open and holes in the roof. I’m nice and filled up with dust now.
