Not ingesting it... just marking my territory :)
Since My Fella and I discovered pickleball, we've been playing every day. And recently the local pickleball court has been resurfaced but the lines haven't been repainted.
So I volunteered to do it. Actually I volunteered 'us' to paint it. My Fella loves when I do that :)
We picked up the supplies from a Tucson Home Depot yesterday. The paint, a 2 pack of painters tape and mini roller/tray/brush set cost the same as one gallon of traffic paint in Canada.
A pickleball court is about a quarter the size of a tennis court and the owner just wanted the outline of the court and the center line painted so that saved a lot of work.
The whole project took about 4 hours and I'm pretty pumped to try out PBE (pickleball extreme) on the newly resurfaced court.
The finished paint job looks good, and the price was right! We had a good time by Playa del Carmen, sun, sand and beautiful Caribbean sea. The resort was excellent, everyone was very friendly, ate and drank lots, (Mexican wine was very good). My wife got sick and we ended up in hospital for about 24 hours and it was more like the Holiday Inn, perfect service, treatment and accomodation. The plane ride back was awful with everyone coughing from the colds/flu we caught in the Kelowna airport prior to leaving. But we will go again.

Mr P - Sorry about your wife getting sick but I'm glad the hospital care was good. Did you catch a bug too? Is she better now?
I really like that area - Playacar, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres - but the humidity is too much for me. Don't think I could spend more than a week or two there because of that 'instant sweat' factor when you leave the air conditioning. How did you guys find the humidity?

We have been there 3 different times and found the weather perfect, mostly 26ish and no noticeable humidity. If I feel one bead of sweat anywhere on my body I immediately get on the Corona beer treatment therapy! My wife recovered quickly. I felt fine the whole time, but probably half of our planeload from Kelowna were coughing terribly, it was very noticeable. Our resort had people from Spain, Edmonton, Germany, Mexico and USA holidaying. It was lots of fun!
