I clocked 47.5 hours last week on the job that is supposed to be 35 hours max. I was too tired to do anything to the Ranger. I have the coming week off and I am traveling to New Hampshire Tuesday and returning Saturday. I bought the tickets last April and got 1st class for what I paid for coach last year.

I have everything prepped and I am waiting on weather again. It is 69 degrees right now. I may get to shoot it a 4 pm. If it not 65 or less I will wait till tomorrow and shoot it as soon as the dew dries off. It is supposed to be about 8 degrees cooler tomorrow. I could finish it up if things go right. I also had to replace the water filter on my air tank. I drained it as well. The new filter is larger and is easier to service.

I will finish the masking regardless. I am using a plastic masking tape that the sticky stuff doesn't pull off as easily. A lesson I learned with the first coat on the back of the cab.

Note: the Ford-Rangers.com sticker and the original dealership plastic stickers had bonded with the paint. I had to aggressively sand them off and take it to bare metal, prime, and re-sand.
