Do you have the old sprayers or the newer ones? Mine from a few years ago sucked but the newer ones are good!

i have both. the 2nd gen were much better, but still it does not do it for me. i use a lot of product so the pump tends to have a hard time reloading when i spray repetitively. and each pump is considerably less than wat Griot's one squirt can do.

so i rolled out my griot's detailing cart into my garage today. now it's really starting to feel like summer.

That's exactly why you never post in a "there's nothing wrong with my MINI thread" Mr. Murphy is always lurking!

And if you're planning on having it wired by tomorrow for fast shipping!

so i wired up my other mackie to my piano/electric piano setup and found that the newer 'other' one sounds cleaner.

the newest mackie is now sitting at my desk at work. this one will be wired to my music composition workstation were the 'other' one came from.

so now the old one will be thrown out this week. i took it apart and stole all the screws and nuts and washers and *****. it now looks like bones.

Sounds like the donor car in a hot rod project!

And I'm getting jealous as USPS allegedly has 3 packages and all I got in today's mail was coupons for standard advertised offers, not even special deals. Still better than bills, I guess.

hahaha, you have to hide and wash, huh? makes it that much more fun.

yah, my soar throat is kinda painful.... hard to breath too. took some medicine last night to help me fall asleep. i was gasping for air every 20sec or so.

so my CF is now crossing the pacific ocean today.

I don't really have to hide...I just have to make sure she's not here. And she works, and when she IS here she's in the back and can't see out front...so as long as she's not coming or going, it's fine. No one will ever know!

To be honest, I don't think she really *cares*...but it is in the "rules"...

Looking for excuses to take the AM off and the G/Z out instead?

Haha, considering my CF just landed at the airport and going through US customs that might not be a bad idea.

Not sure if its going to arrive tomorrow or Fri...

Hummm... CF is still at customs. Bet those guys are checking it out and test fitting on their ford's. wrong car~!

I thought USPS was bad, FedEx SmartPost is the ultimate fail. 5 biz days to get from neighboring state.
