Captainkirk's Duster project

Ever see those cartoons in the funny papers of the long-haired, bearded hippy in a robe and sandals with the sign saying "THE END IS NEAR!"? (If not, you probably didn't grow up in the '70s, but I digress.....) I feel like that guy. Not in a 'the end of my PROJECT is near' sort of way. More like a 'the end of my ability to WORK on my project is near' type deal. I got home late tonight, took the dog for her usual walk, and HOLY CROW! A few measly blocks and I was thinking gloves and a hat woulda been a Really Good Idea. No way I can paint in these temps. I'll hope like crazy we get another shot of Indian Summer; enough to finish up the bottom and trunk, but I'm not holding my breath. Ol' Man Winter is getting close now; real close. But then, so am I!:D
