I enjoy Red Green and Peter Mansbridge and wish I got the deal that Red gets on duct tape. Way to go 3M-Canada.
Actually, I was going to try The Gripper but Pam lives close to a SW store. I wiped my hands off on my pant leg of my old pants when I was putting on the alkyd paint. Didn't feel like wiping off the little bit that came thru the fabric with thinner and there are still a few flecks on my skin a week and several showers later. Makes me appreciate how good todays paint is. I applied a good bit of paint when the oil based alkyd was the ONLY reasonable choice. That stuff would outlast your house. Glidden was the standard.
Actually, hockey WAS better before Harold Ballard passed away. After more than 20 years in Michigan, I still can't decide between the Wings and the Leafs. Keep your stick on the ice and thanks for the kind words.
