So with temperatures at 104F plus dropping a half too hot to touch almost was an interesting experience.

Hopefully some realty or title company employees don't walk by before I bury the evidence....

I'm guessing that he picked up the can, burned his hand, dropped the can, it hit the rock and burst.

Close.

Can slide out of lath bag and was too hot to hold.

Rolled upright and the propellant was venting so I rolled it over to save the gear.

Pink boot will wear off soon enough.

Please don't tell me you are intimidated by "realty or title company employees"! If you are seek help immediately, 😉

I would relish the opportunity to explain the immense importance of this particular survey monument to the aforementioned should they have the nerve to ask. And I guarantee my explanation would send them off in a real estate buy and sell panic. ???ª?ÿ

The ole pink boot, I hate that.

I had a can fail the other day at home, carb cleaner that dissolved and stripped clean far more than intended.

Remember when we used to stick plumb bobs in stuff out of boredom? I flipped mine at a full can of flo pink one day, probably 10 feeg away. Those big gammon reels really hold 12 feet of line.

Painted myself from the waist up. I-man was scared to laugh until I did...

Our office is a couple of km's from the international airport and the main highway passes by it and there's a big roundabout about 500m from it, which gets a lot of traffic through it. The local population is Polynesian. A couple of years ago I'm sailing through the roundabout and the car in front of me screeches to a halt and the sole occupant, a local driver, leaps out - he's 100% covered in white powder and as I drive past I can see that the inside of his car is also totally obliterated in this white stuff, such that you couldn't see in or out of any window. I presume a fire extinguisher had exploded.

So leaving an aerosol paint can in the car would not be a good idea.

@jt50

in Alaska, maybe not a worry.

In Kuwait, Phoenix, and lots of other places, just send us the link to the youtube channel, because that would just be fun to watch.

Rule # 1 in my truck is NO PAINT IN THE CAB! (Rule #2 is nothing is allowed to be set on the rear bumper.)

I was working on orienting a radio station antenna one time and the guy up on the mast had orange painted boots on. When I commented on them he said he earned them!?ÿ There are five 200+' radio towers in the City of Industry near where I used to live in Hacienda Heights.?ÿ He said he climbed all five of them one day and his buddies painted his shoes for him for that feat. What they were doing and why I'll never know, but I congratulated him because I drove by those towers often, and they're HIGH!

This won't prevent all mishaps but a cut-down Pringles chip can makes a good protector to keep things from hitting the nozzle of upside down spray paint.

This is why the truck should always be red or orange and buy the paint to match.
