I’ve just come in from working out in the shop. We brought in the Wonder Wart-Hog mailbox decoration yesterday, replacing it with Yosemite Sam.
I had noticed that the back of the Wart-Hog had something on it, so we just put it in the shop on my painting table until I had time to look at it. I still don’t know what it is, but it looks like someone sprayed it with something. I tried water, then Simple Green, then paint thinner, and then rubbed at it with a fine wool pad. Nothing worked.
This is the first time since we’ve been making and attaching these decorations to the mailbox that we’ve had any damage, so I guess we’re lucky. It’s just my luck that it’s one of my husband’s favorite comic book characters and the hardest one I’ve ever had to paint. I’m repainting the green and the white parts of the piece now. When I finish, we’ll hang him up on the hook my husband made for him.
Our weather has me a bit down today. It’s not really raining – I guess you could describe it as a really heavy cold mist or a really light cold rain. Kind of bleak. The temperature is up to 46. It really saps whatever energy I had and makes me want to take a nap. Ugh.
I wish you a better day than I’m having.
