Hopefully you don’t have the mishap that I’m having with the UPS truckWell, I will let ya know when it gets here[:)] I’ll be havin’ a malt & chasin’ a sheep while I wait[:o)][:(] But, there’s a first time for everything… this is the first screw up with UPS that I’ve experienced in25 yrs of dealing with them
::raising eyebrows:: you need to watch out for that sheep chasing, Eddie my friend! [;)]
yeah it’s wierd but I’ve NEVER had a prob with UPS… kinda shocked me when I saw the status yesterday…
With a “sheep-ish” [}:)]grin The Eagle Has Landed!! Houston I repeat The Eagle Has Landed!! it just came through my door & opened 'er up[^] Will be busy getting the feel for it Thanks A bunch Tom!![:D][#toast]
haha I just checked the shipment status before I came back on… glad it got to ya…
enjoy! And don’t be afraid to ask questions via email! I liked the “aging” email you snet by the way… I qualify on a few of those I admit haha…man I am getting old!
P.S. I am sorry about all the tape around the bubble wrap… I envisioned them wrapping everything up in a roll, but she taped every part with its own coccoon of bubble wrap… haha… I knew that would be fun to unpack!!!
Ya-Ya[#dots] I know you either did it yerself or had the gal do it up[:-,][(-D][(-D] My nephew brought it inside (as he signed for it.) and he wasn’t leaving until he seen what was in the package[8D] He couldn’t believe all the popcorn!![:O]
I’ve been fondling the Badger eversince it’s arrival[swg] mmm… feels gooood!![}:)] I’ll keep ya informed on my progress & I’ll contact ya should a [?] or two arise. Much appreciated Tom[^]
Ed, I’m sure that 175 will do you a world of good.
Tom, you get an Atta Boy for sending it over to Ed! Modelers helping modelers is so nice to hear about!
Great news my friend! [tup]
Cudos to Tom for sending it to you too.
I have sent two airbrushes out to other modelers also and it is a great feeling.
It is indeed better to give than to receive. [^]
Thanks Bill, I believe it will do me a world of good.[^] I’ve been having a hard time putting it down as I like the feeling of having a cigar in my hand[;)][(-D] Big difference in the feel of it in my hand than that HF gun!!
IT was Very nice of Tom to send it off to me & yes, it is a great feeling helping others & being helped in such a way[:)]
Ross, I see what ya mean about your vision & one very upset Badger[#oops] oh well, I guess I’ll need ta pick up a hose or, an adapter for it[:I]
Gotta take my g.f. to Sacramento in the morning for a Dr’s appointment & I did a search for Hobby shops in the area “Capitol City RC Center” and “Toy Castle 2” so, I’ll stop by there & see what I can find. It’s not my LHS but, I’ll be in the neighborhood[:D]
Someone asked if Tom sold it to me or gave it to me but, I cannot find that response or recall who asked [%-)][banghead] so, I’ll respond here.[:)]
Tom sent it to me outta the goodness of his heart[^] either that or, he just passed on a headache[;)][}:)][(-D][(-D] [:o)] Like Bill said, a modeler helping a fellow modeler[^]
Ed,
I asked that question and then read the posts again and found the answer so I deleted that part. [;)]
I thought it was you & had done something like that, or, my mind was playin’ tricks
Or both… [:D]
Shocking isn’t it Bill[:-,]
I just got back from Sacramento & I didn’t get to swing by the hobby shops[:(] The g.f. was in too much pain so, came directly home.[|(] I guess I’ll just order what I need from Badger or, Dixie Art come payday.[:)] Now if I knew exactly what I was looking for…[sigh]
What do you need Ed?
Mike, I need a adapter for the Badger 175 to the airline[:O] I’m thinking of getting a badger line with the inline water trap but, either way, I’ll need the adapter to hook up tot he compressor.
Looking back over this thread Ross had mentioned the Paasche air regulator w/water trap fpr $30.00 I’m thinking of going that route. What do you think?
Ed, I’ve got a Badger air line you are welcome to, but I’d have to mail it to you.
BTW, hope your girlfriend is doing okay.
She’s doing fine. She lost a leg in Dec 2001 and it takes alot out of her (& me) when we take a trip up to Sac. (45 min drive) but, she has to sit for several hours & that’s hard on her.
Thank you for the offer Ross, PM inbound[8D] Do I owe you anything for it?
Eddie - I wish I would have waited a bit longer to send that brush to you, it seems I left a hundred dollar bill rolled up in the tube and I need it back… [(-D] actually I could have sent you the hose with it… ends up I got a non Badger item for my new airbrush, so I didn’t need it like I thought I would.
Speaking of airbrushes and shipping… it looks like my new brush might have been misrouted as well… right now it is somewhere about 250 miles north of me… with a supposed delivery time of tomorrow. (yeah right) it would have been about 200 miles shorter to ship it directly here! [V] I planned on using it on my birthday too since my mother in laws generous birthday gift that helped me make up my mind to upgrade! If it doesn’t make it tomorrow I definitely will call and complain… I know it won’t do any good but UPS is supposed to be one of the best!!! Two consecutive shipments going bad isn’t the best service!
That thing must be burning your fingers right about now with the anticipation of shooting some paint through it… that’s good, that’s why I sent it to ya… you’ll get more use out of it than I was… (I just used it for a few specific tasks) … (Imagining Eddie sitting at the modeling table in front of a kit with the hose-less Badger in his hand, making hissing noises with his lips) [(-D][(-D]
Good luck with that thing and remember what I told ya… that airbrush wasn’t free… I’m a pic-a-philiac and I wanna see some results with that thing! haha… Post up a photo or two of a kit you did with it and we’re even-steven!
Oh yeah… word of caution… be careful when storing it while spraying… if you are going to be moving things around on your desk be sure to put the cap on the head… it has an exposed needle tip and if it falls face forward you’ll be using up that extra needle ya got there too!
