    I like the calendar, I've got a bunch of old phone book covers I use for the same thing. I also have a friend who gets a ton of gift cards and they save me the used ones, they make great one-time-use filler spreaders, they have a nice sharp edge. I used to get those fake credit cards in the mail that were just a credit card offer but seems like they don't do that much anymore, I always looked forward to my free bondo spreader in the mail each week.

    Very good Chad, when work is done it will never be too little, the hours spent on the merc have a happy ending. I am still aware of your work. Well done boy
