The anti etch spray already exists. It's called "Aqua Net". For some odd reason, it can be found in the hair care isle. All you need is a can of Aqua Net, and a Bic lighter.
Here's how it works . . .
1. Hold can of Aqua Net with hand A
2. Point the small hole in the nozzle at etch
3. Press nozzle down releasing stream of Aqua Net product towards etch
3. Activate lighter with hand B
4. Move flame of lighter to just below stream of Aqua Net evacuating from can
5. Walk directly toward etch with resulting flaming ball of furry leading your way
6. Etch will leave your immediate area
7. Move flame of lighter away from Aqua Net stream
8. Deactivate lighter
9. Release Aqua Net nozzle
10. Reset and repeat as necessary
Cheap.
Effective.
Reliable.

Morning all. We have clouds, rain and humidity this morning. I believe that will hang around for a little while and then clear out. Last night on my way home, the sky looked ugly towards my house. I arrived home, evaluated the sky, looked at the hourly forescast and saw there was a good chance of rain overnight (nevermind the impending storm). So I got changed and went right to mowing the lawn. I asked the sky for 45 minutes before it opened up. I didn't get that. But I got just enough time before it poured. I managed to get the lawn mowed, put the lawnmower back into the garage, took the umbrella out of the table out back, put the chairs back, emptied the bagger and replaced all my spout extensions just as a few fat rain drops were starting to fall. I got to back to the front of the house and garage as the sky opened up. You can't have rain falling on any more of a freshly mowed lawn. I then stood on the porch, guzzled a bottle of water and watched the rain fall for about 10 minutes. Ahhh, springtime.
I really need to be rid of my etch. She is driving me crazy. Why does she have to use me to translate her thoughts into what she is actually trying to say? And how many times do I have to say to her, "If that is a concern then you have to ask your boss"? She does not work for me, yet I end up babysitting her. I have had enough. She even continues to come back after I give her the annoyed voice.
RIP Doc Watson

and . . . . if you apply a good shot of Aqua Net spray into an enclosed chamber of PVC piping and introduce a spark into that chamber from something like . . . oh . . . say a gas grill igniter, for instance . . . . you have what could be used as the business end of a "spud gun" . . . or as some prefer, "potato canon".
You know what question I would get? The whole thing would go something similar to this:
1. She will start talking as she approaches me. 2. I cringe as this happens and reach for my weapons. 3. I threathen her with my weapon. 4. She will stop mid sentence and go, "Wait. What are you doing?"
It is amazing how on a regular basis she says things to me such as,
"I need to ask a stupid question." "Am I making a be deal out of nothing?" "I'm freaking out." "I'm panicing." "I have a question." "How do I..."
You know that sometimes I give her a hard time and tell her things you are not supposed to say when she throws these questions at me, but she keeps coming back. Maybe I do indeed have to light her on fire. Have I mentioned lately that I am not responsible for her?
