I am sand blasting and powder coating my patio furniture, and the 42" diameter table top will fit in my oven, but not in my blasting cabinet. So I found a place nearby that offered sand blasting and powder coating. I took the table top there this afternoon, and one of the table legs I had already coated to show him what it was going to look like. He shot me a reasonable price for the blasting, and then I showed him the table leg. He said it really looked good. I pulled out my phone and showed him some other things I had coated. Then he offered me a job. He was real insistent. He said he only wants part time help. I told him I was flattered, but I didn't really want a job. I am 71 and retired. He gave me a tour of his shop and kept offering the job. It was quite flattering, but I don't want a job.
 
Geez, you sound like most people in the US right now. I'll give you a pass because you're 71.
:lol:
 
I missed it….

This last Holloween a fella came up with his kids and noticed I had a Cuda in the garage. He asked if I knew how to tune carbs which lead to an instant belly roll of a laugh from me saying, “Im 55 and grew up on carbs, I don’t know or wanna know a thing about FI!”

He offered me a job as a carb tuned at his shop.

No thanks, retired and loving it thank you very much.

OK, guys. I usually catch jokes and sarcasm, but I'm not sure I get these. And by the way, for the right salary, I would wear a red wig.
:rofl:

my joke was that we allready have a professional powder coater on board, and shes a tall redhead
so if you're gonna act like her, you might as well look like her

(now, why moparofficial thinks shes has a big nose is between them)

Now I get it. As if I could be competition for the queen of powder. The nickel and dime business I have going is just to pay for car parts. All of my customers are local and word of mouth. I have gotten pretty good at it, but I am retired and I don't want to work at it very much. When I post something that I thought came out really good, I just want to share my success with my friends. And one more thing, you should have said she is a tall good-looking redhead.

Actually, you got the redhead part right. Tall, no.
 
@harrisonm, I'd have you on board any day -- don't sell your talent short!!

Speaking of short, it's just the shoes. At 5'0, I need 'em to reach the cookie jar. And pretty much everything else lol ...

Id suggest we put the cookie jar on the floor, but that would just get me into trouble
 
I wish I could powder coat.
That takes a lot of prep and skill.
I'm more of a clean and maybe sandblast, primer, and rust-oleum guy....
