That's one great looking ceiling you've got there! Can't get much better than that.

Ceilings can be painted when it's pouring down rain or with 2 feet of snow on the ground. You made the right choice! Smell the roses, drive the Corvettes!

Hi RC,
Some days are just not meant to be spent doing something that needs to be done.
The only down side to today is that you couldn't go to Painter's Forum to show off pictures of your ceiling!
Regards
Alan

That road looks far to inviting to be doing any painting. This nice weather in the Northeast needs to be taken advantage of while it lasts. I drove around aimlessly in my 65 with the roof off for about 2 hours today. Driving is very good

It's actually Route 44/55. I drive up there all the time, it is very beautiful. It's only about 10 minutes from my house.

After 20 years, you didn't run out to fast

Richard - looks like a fantastic day. Beautiful countryside, perfect road for a drive and a cool car to do it in. Life is good.

I think he already did - it was just wearing tires instead of heels.

Yes, today was a beautiful day around here. I do not know how many more nice days we will have, so I had to make good use of this one.

Like everyone said, there are going to be plenty of cold and rainy days ahead, so I will paint the ceiling then.
