Man, I am sorry I didn't make this session -- I had a prior commitment to a party for Bill Duke, who rode Colorado with us last summer.

Now I see part of Charles' secret -- A PAINT ROOM -- complete with metal walls, and, no doubt, a filtered air system.  Color me envious.  I want one, but don't know how I could afford it or where I would put it.

Of course, the biggest part of Charles success is not being kept secret, as he is teaching others how its done. 

Great pics, Guy.  Keep 'em coming.

Looks like Greg's mom taught him well.. Keep your hands in your pockets, and you won't break anything...
