Cast with resin for the first time. I have done epoxy resin before. For some reason I figured traditional resin would smell less noxious. WRONG!!! The basement stunk so bad I had to leave the basement door open a couple of hours. Of course I was worried that Mr. A - friendly neighbourhood cat - would show up and walk in. He's done that before. If Millie got wind of that she would have had a hissy fit. The only thing that came in was flies... But I couldn't do much because 1. I didn't want to kill brain cells and 2. like a dope I kept the resin too long and the majority of it is not workable. But the pieces look real nice. Once it airs out down there I will tone some pictures....scared of mixing noxious fumes.
Took Mandy for a ride in the Prius. She likes... she said it looked sporty! Woo hoo! Might put Nellie/LeBaron on e-bay as per mom's suggestion.
Best news for last...
Seeds are sprouting! Four okra sprouts and a bunch of squash sprouts. Thought they were butternut, but not so sure now. I have no idea what I planted. And the mystery thing grew again this morning... see above for image...it inflates then deflates by mid-morning. Saw it for the first time Wednesday and then again today. Can't be a mushroom b/c they don't behave that way...I think. Maybe it is a monitoring system of some sort...where's Fox Mulder when you need him?
