Owie!

Jeez, I finally got that bottle off there. It was hard! And frustrating! I managed to also cut my other thumb and make it bleed before I was done. I found what I thought was a good tool for prying the plastic bottle off of the encasing-plastic, which was my utility knife. It worked a lot better for prying, but what I didn't notice at first was that I was scuffing up the encasing plastic quite a bit! Damn it! I probably didn't notice because I was wearing sunglasses as I worked. I was wearing them as safety glasses because when I would pry the plastic of the bottle up a lot of times it would shoot off. In fact one of the pieces hit me in the forehead. It didn't hurt, but if it had hit my eye it would have hurt bad.
So anyways I scuffed up the plastic quite a bit. That isn't good! So I took the whole thing outside and sprayed it with the sealer spray stuff. I hope that helps! I hope that wasn't a mistake! I wonder how Mike's project is coming along.

take care,

David

I can't take it any more.... what is happening... for most of my life I never even heard of encasing something ironic in plastic... then when I did hear about it... I had a steady stream of information, from two sources keeping me constantly informed on progress, and ideas... then one day it stopped.... I thought it was a fluke... but both sources went down... hours went by... days... then a week... and I can't take it... It seemed as if both were coming to a head, and something amazing would be revealed... at first I feared the worst... Portland had been destroyed by a natural disaster... but I drove up and checked... it is still there... so what happened?
