The goal is to have it so shiny that NASA can see it with the Hubble Telescope..

My new Cyclo polisher will arrive in a few days...not enough time to make our coach a 'twin' for Hubble to look at. Robert, I'll be looking for polishing with Cyclo tips from you. I like the shiny rigs  but if our coach had not been polished when we got it 3 years ago I wouldn't have polished it. It is a lot of work. However, since it is mostly done the polisher is to remove the swirls. Like that I don't have enough to do. And...now we got a new
(14') street side panel to match to the rest of the coach. Sure glad that our house isn't aluminum!

Sure Neil, I have lots a tips. Don't buy any beach front property in Kansas  I would suggest a demo, but thats to much work for a relaxing weekend. Plus I've already volunteered myself to do some riveting. But Q& A's over some coldies sound like a great idea.

What time does her shift start?...Oh, and the lovely and gracious missus wants to know "Does the pool boy deliver the wine?"
The rivet shaver and rivets have arrived. Turns out that they are the same rivets (albeit smaller diameter) used for attaching panels to Butler metal buildings, the Airstreams of their industry. That would make them a great product in my book.

OK, I'll give you the hands, but it looks like a floating bun of hair on the head to me. Or... was it wishfful thinking?

Starting to Wonder
Well I'm beginning to wonder what's up with this group, I realise it's been a long winter and the time change thing was earlier this year, cutting time off our lives. Don't ya just love govt intervention. Not to mention my comments on pc earlier in this thread. Then we have folks lacking underwater vision-- well I'm a visionary !!!
I'm suggesting
YOUTHANIZATION
That's right- everyone needs a good dose of it once in a while.
As I mentioned earlier the pouring of the vino starts friday @ 6 PM.
Bring your glass and a youthful spirit.
unscheduled pre-youthanization sometime thursday.

The pic immediately above surely looks like self euphanisation; or stupidity maybe a lot of both.....
clearly NOT to be confused with Youthanization.

I'm just trying to excite this thread a little....figuring there would be all kinds of comments re: Photo- Stupification...? Thinning of the herd...???
What, precisely is youthification? ...sorry Youthanization, dearest Tim? If it means never growing up, then I'm a lifetime member!

Dearest Karin;
Youthanization begins with fine wine,
then gets somewhat mystical
or so to say
"When you meet your friend on the roadside or in the market place, let the spirit in you move your lips and direct your tongue.
Let the voice within your voice speak to the ear of his ear;
For his soul will keep the truth of your heart as the taste of the wine is remembered When the colour is forgotten and the vessel is no more."
DG
