Nothing lifts your spirits like a fresh air, sufficient rest and a little quality time with your partner.
Yesterday I primed some siding shingles on the house which the roofer was nice enough to replace for free (though he could have hardly noticed the loss, given what the new roof cost us). All I can say is, C2 paints, which I've never seen advertised or sold anywhere but one hardware store in the city that specializes in old-house restoration are the best interior and exterior house paint ON THE PLANET.
I used for the job latex primer out of a rusty, previously-opened can which had been sitting in my cellar for six years. The primer looked like new. It only took me about thirty seconds to stir it up and it went on the shingles like silk.
Anybody reading this who has dealt with house painting will realize that this is nothing short of a miracle.
Completely off-topic:
Apparently, Abraham Lincoln had every illness in the book.
Evidently, he had a raging case of smallpox (or, at the very least, fever, exhaustion and a rash) when he delivered that paltry little speech known as the Gettysburg Address.
So, Dubya, what's your excuse?
