Lil story from earlier today
Just finished up some stuff on one of my projects, decided bubba had already too it 80% there might as well finish it up with a half decent rattle can job. So yeah touched up up a little and honestly though it looked pretty good so decided to take it outside and snap a few pictures.
Well I'm in the yard taking a few shots trying to get the lighting right because this phone kinda sucks and a guy who was over at my uncle's shop walked over. I knew him and he just kinda asked what I was up to and I told him what I just explained to y'all.
Well he cocks his head looks at me and says that's pretty weird to do that with a gun. "It's a gun, you buy it shoot it and you know , who paints and does all that stuff with a gun"
Well I look at him and said I do and I really enjoy doing it, explained how one of my favorite hobbies is to get used guns and tinker with them and try and fix them up a bit. Along with loading and casting for them. How each one is it's own little adventure and I just like the challenge most times. Some I paint some i sand and stain ,some are tactical some are practical , so me are just because I wanted them .And again he's looking at me like I got two head and starts talking about how I could just buy XYZ and not have to do all this.
Now this fella is a car guy, has a yard full of cars and trucks he always works on and he takes a lot of pictures posts them, does performance mods ect. Has a few nice working vehicles ,some pretty specialized some just daily drivers some show cars ,but he's doing basically what I do just with cars. So I bring that up . Well he said yeah but that's cars and trucks ! That's completely different. I ask how ? He could just buy whatever he wanted all the work done an not worry about anything. It's JUST a vehicle after all. Why all the tuning and mods and what not.
He stops ,looks at me and you know that look people have when their right in the verge of like , rethinking something? Well he had that for a few seconds then snapped doubt of it shook his head and said
"Naw naw totally different" and he proceeded to walk back over to chat with my uncle about something.
Idk seem to have this type conversation monthly with someone and it ranges from their shoe collection and refurbishing hobby to their anvil collecting and restoration obsession but very rarely do I get somone who goes " O it's the same thing just he does it with guns " I don't get how it's such a hard train of thought to connect but o well
