    So -- Mrs. H had a college reunion over the weekend.
    As is my/our tradition, I went down for the day on Saturday.
    The highlight of her alma mater's reunions is a parade of alumnae, dressed in white (suffragette color, don't you know) from a start point at one of the school's grand old buildings to the grave of the college's founder. The most recent graduates carry a long laurel chain, which they sort of wrap around the gravesite. Then they all sing Bread and Roses.
    Kinda weird, but, you know, college traditions... :#

    At any rate, while I was hangin' out waitin' for the parade to start - I noticed one of the campus security vehicles, which had apparently suffered a fairly benign but amusing (if puerile) bit of vandalism.

    Since we did the refurb at the house, the concern was which media will be safer to use and environmentally friendly. Sodium bicarbonate is water soluble and there are no worries of silicosis, like with using sand. The use of proper blasting safety gear is still advised.

    I used an old wool army blanket to make a U shaped backdrop to keep the soda more contained. It stayed mostly in the blanket and driveway.

    Harbor Freight has some small, inexpensive soda blasters that work OK. For best results, the air compressor needs to supply the CFM demands of the blaster.

    For that much? I'd rather have one of these Nixie tube spectrum analyzers...

    Save yourself some time and jump to about 35 seconds into it...

    I shouldn't admit this in public, but I had to think about that for a moment. :#
