Fiona has returned

[Tormahto]

Who is Fiona? My mortal enemy in my garden. She would be best described, here...



The solution will have to be a can of Krylon fluorescent pink paint. No more drab garments for her.

[MissS]

Well that says it all!

[rxkeith]

pink golf balls?

Even teeth down 96% of time is not enough. It's usually late in the day, when one forgets just that one time...

Mine whacked me above the eye in the shed while it was pitch dark.
And in my opinion Steve Martin did a horrible job in the Pink Panther movie remake.
Long drawn out parts were it's like ok we get it annoying.
Like the hamburger thing.

[MissS]

And just how many times have you done this now?

[rxkeith]

96% won't do it.

its comparable to living in the house with women in regards to the toilet seat.
or in the pharmacy when putting the cap back on a partial bottle of pills. the cap
must be on TIGHT.

100% OF THE TIME

The kiss of life, huh...so that's where Aeron Damphair learned it. And probably Mitch Buchanon, too.

We used to get tricked into watching the pink panther movies, since it was a "cartoon". I mean the pink panther was on the commercials every day for owens corning insulation. It was real thing, up there in the attic to see every year when we had to crawl up there for christmas ornaments. But in the movies he never seemed to show, it was just a plot to put us to sleep I think.

And just how many times have you done this now?

Including the near misses, too many.

And, as another reminder for me to practice safety, perhaps it's time to call out favor, and have you explain how to change my avatar pic back to the Lego Captain Hook.

@Tormato It's easy. Click on your name in the upper right hand corner of the screen which will allow you to open your control panel. Once you open the control panel, open the 'profile' tab.

From there you just follow the prompts.

Definitely worth the cost of the pink paint.

I have all the original Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers.
And watched all the cartoons including the Ant and the Aardvark.

[Tormahto]

Definitely worth the cost of the pink paint.

If I can find it. I am not settling for anything less than fluorescent, as I want the dayglo warning as loud as possible

I have another spray paint project, and was looking for a flat/matte yellow paint. I settled for satin, after searching through several WalMart and Home Depot stores. I hope it works.

Any non-natural contrasting color helps, but the warm colors like pink, orange, yellow are likely the best (unless it's something you plan to lose in a flower bed) and the more area covered the better. In the woods I have no trouble locating my blue handled bucksaw (yes, even blue!) but I've spent way too much time looking for the old axe with a bit of blue on the head. It disappears completely.
If you give Fiona a completely shocking pink handle, there should be no chance to hide....

Just attach a cast iron skillet to the handle and get it over with.

A #9 or #10?

#9 for velocity.

You have to paint the handle white first. To get the fluorescent paint to really show brightly. I did a few projects with fluorescent orange and pink and that was necessary every time. I did a pair of camo game shears. They're just a pair of scissors that comes apart easily for cleaning with a slide pivot. But for some dumb marketing reason they were camouflaged so you couldn't see them very easily. Fluorescent pink just sort of tinted it. I had to spray them white twice and then pink. I think two coats of pink also. They were very bright, for one season at least.
I had them over at the comm Garden and one family had a 10-year-old girl. She was a cool kid. Needed to cut some strings or something so I gave her my scissors.
She says
hey mister I love your hot pink scissors!
And I replied
they're not hot pink that's for girls! These are fluorescent pink - FOR SAFETY!
