model b
my boss doesn't have a tesla. his boss has a tesla. and his boss has a tesla. both model s's. and now, i have a a tesla too. here's how it happened. we get catered lunches at work on wednesdays. on account of there being no real food within walking distance. taco bell is not real food. sorry. there is fiesta del mar. but not every day. so anywho, this week's food was cheap mexican. which just makes me scratch my head. i wasn't even all that hungry. and it just looked like corn syrup coated death nuggets. which it turned out it was. but i ate it anyway. mistake. i didn't go to work the next day because of a migraine. wee. so i grabbed some primer and painted over the schwinn logo on my bicycle. then i found the tesla logo online. scaled it to the correct size with gimp. which is not as good as zeus. but it's free. which is awesome. printed it. and turned it into a stencil. the x-acto knife was missing it's old worn out blade. so it got a new one. a very very sharp new one. it picked a fight with my finger. it won. but it's back in the drawer in timeout until further notice. spiteful thing. sheehs. see if i ever give you a new blade ever again. i dry brushed the logo onto the bicycle frame. my previous experience with stencils is the paint is very happy to capillary action its way under the stencil and go all sorts of places it's not supposed to go. then i painstakingly painted by numbers until i was tired of it. it looks okay. from a distance. i originally thought i'd not tell anyone. and see how long it took someone to notice. but i was lonely in the garage. so i made the beautiful and talented alisa come see what i was working on. and once the cat was out of the bag, i might as well point it out to one of my co-workers. so anywho, not only does the company have a whole boatload of documentation. i don't write code on migraine days. but i also have a brand new conversation piece.
