Preservation of Perfection



Today (10/2) Mr. Bundy once again graced the grounds of Aloha with his presence. This allowed he and Team Awesome to participate in a Team Meeting. In which we decided that this Saturday we will be setting up shop at Bundy's dwelling and striving to complete the priming process (the correct way) for all four of the doors. This will require the re-sanding of the one door we already 'primed'. Also, it will require the sanding of the front two doors. The real stickler is the door we just sanded down. We couldn't just hold on to it until Saturday because it would begin rusting thanks to the exposed metal. Also, Mr. Bundy was hoping we would be able to put it back on his car as soon as possible due to the predicted forecast of torrential downpour until the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse decide they're tired of being menacing and sit down for a cup of tea. To appease both problems, we decided to go ahead and prime the door with the cheap primer. This would at least slow down the rust and allow us to put it back on to the Pig so Mr. Bundy doesn't freeze to death. Besides, now it'll be symetrical! Awesome.

To accomplish this, Greg followed me over to my dad's house afterschool today (10/2). When we got here we started taping off the door and getting it ready for priming. We cleaned it one final time to clear all of the sanding dust and particles that had settled on it. After we were satisfied with the gleam of the colors of a melted Christmas tree, we went to work priming it. We had originally intended only to spot prime it, but decided that looked dumb, and that we might as well just finish it out. Thus, a second gray door has come to be. I've also decided to try and take more pictures, because that just makes everything more fun. As I'm writing this we're waiting for the primer to dry so that we can load it into Greg's car to take to reattatch at rehersal tonight. Heil Ceasar!
