It was pretty hazy that day (as in LA hazy) so we couldn't see very far.

You can see the signifigant algae blooms in the Huron river that is caused by the fertilizer run-off from golf courses and new construction neighborhoods with huge lawns. I live just a little downstream of this picture, and my tap water is pretty much undrinkable so I buy a lot of Coke-Cola products.

a proud moment :D

Makes you a proud Daddy :)

What kind of weight difference is there between paint and powder coating? I would it would be heavier ?

sort off, i've been told that domesticated cats see us hu-mans as surrogate mothers or something

either way, he can line up cadavers each morning, and i shall offer positive reinforcement as much as i can... he's a cat, he is fulfilling his destiny, it's the way of the Force

i think not, powdercoating is one coat only ( at least as far as i know)
while proper paint : includes zink coating, primer, and 3+ layers of paint

byron how are the flares to be attached? i would guess they are fiberglass to be riveted in some fashion?

not sure if this is something to positively enforce, but then again, i guess he still is in his bootcamp days, and needs to practice

EDIT, turns out the mouse was just playing dead, and i'm a bit of a softy for things not yet killed
so i tossed it over the fence, cat's going ape***** now, prowling the garden like Atilla the Hun
i'll still mark this as a confirmed kill, as the mouse didn't stand a chance , cat's get 9 lives, i figure i can mark it as a kill, and give the mouse a second life too.
Lesson for the cat: kill things dead faster, then horse around with the cadaver
Lesson for the mouse: be better at avoiding cats

Liquid weighs more than powder, plus, the can get into all the nooks & crannies, heater channels ect because the powder attaches to the metal, after baking it comes out as you see here. The white is the clear coat.

Just like any flares, a good bodyman bonds them to the tub and matches the paint to the powder color. You couldn't tell where the metal ended & glass began on this one. The powder also makes a great base coat than can be painted over.
