The Girlfriend’s Younger Sprog got in a very minor traffic accident today, which changed my plans for the day a little bit. Nothing serious, no one hurt, and minimal damage all around. However…<\/p>\n

You (naturally) remember christmas two years back<\/a> when she was presented with a topical tire cover for her newly-acquired car. So, guess what the only<\/em> damage to the vehicle was?<\/p>\n

\"Tardis
I… just… [sigh]<\/p>\n

As it is, The Girlfriend’s sea turtle tire cover (also at that link) has been showing its age, since these are only vinyl covers and it’s North Carolina – not as harsh as Florida would be, but close enough. So I’ve been planning on painting a new one for her anyway, and have been just trying to schedule it in. Now, it looks like I’ll be doing two. It isn’t a big issue – when I was first told about the accident, I figured I’d probably be replacing some lights and possibly doing some light body work, so this is nothing in comparison.<\/p>\n

There are two little bright spots, though. The first is, the TARDIS was almost entirely careful masking, so it’s not that hard even though it’s a bit time-consuming. But the second is, I’ve been asked twice if I would paint one of these for someone else;<\/strong> I passed on the first, and gave a rough quote for the second. So it might just be that I pin down my time and procedures on this go-around, and offer it to others as well for a specific fee. It won’t be cheap<\/em> – these are still hand-painted and take some time – but it might be a little sideline income. We’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n

More coming shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
