Slept in this morning, felt good. I headed to the office around 1 to get started on the cabinet strip and repaint. After a quick talk with JC in Buffalo, I borrowed his car to hit up Home Depot. Quick back story.

Before Bauer left he started working on painting the OTX logo on some new cabinets we had for the Shelves in our office. The X was the last item left to do and he had run out of paint. We we grabbed more paint and he went to spray the final cabinets, the original layer or pain bubbled up. He stopped before this happened to tall of them. He took off and a few days later I warmed the cabinets with a heater, brought the temp of the paint up and tried to finish the job, same issue. I hate spray paint when it doesn't work correctly.

So today's mission is to strip all the cabinets back to fresh and start over. I grabbed some Citrus Stripper hoping that would be the nicest on the original finish. I tried it on a test piece and all seemed good to go, so I started. It took a bit to get the cabinets all stripped but they looked great. I ended up having to retape the logo outlines and copied Jims as close as possible.

I held my breath as I started the repainting process. I used a test piece and all went smooth. A few hours after I started the repainting process I had the freshly painted cabinets screwed into place and and knobs added. Stoked!

I also worked on the Ruckus in the waiting times between all the steps. I made me a bracket to mount my Speedo Straight on top of my Elementary Stem and did some other fine tuning. Pretty productive day and I rewarded myself with the UFC fight on Pay-Per-View. Pretty decent night of fights as well.
