Anybody else cleaning out the Garage right now, or am I alone in my struggle?? :D :D
I think a couple of Corona's might help. At least until it's RoseBowl time!! :cool:
Go USC!

I will be in the garage working for the next hour, before the game. Rebuilt the opener yesterday, now a spring broke. Just came home from Home depot, time to get to work:(

Cleaned it just before I went out for surgery a month ago. But today, I have to put up all the Christmas decoration boxes and reorganize a bit. Too cold out, don't wanna do it.

I feel ya!
I was gonna put all the decorations away in the shed this morning, but that would mean taking out all my other stuff to get at the 'xmas spot'.
TOO COLD FOR THAT!! :yuk:

I didn't want to say anything:rolleyes: I felt better about my garage after seeing yours. Seems like a constant battle, I don't know how some people do it. :confused: between me and the kids, forget it. That is why the beer is kept in the garage to motivate me:o

I was able to get a rebuild kit for the opener from sears, so fixed that.
The springs were the original, so they don't last forever. Worst part is I was going to buy them yesterday while out, I had them in the cart and put them back. I had a feeling:o

Yea,
were better off trusting our gut (unless it's full of brew of course). :p
I cruised by your block the other day to see if I could figure out which was your place (not a stalker, I swear... LOL). It wasn't hard to find with a huge beautiful new F350 dually in the driveway. :D
I'll drop the ball and sticks off on your porch today or tomorrow ok??
If your round, and not busy I'll say hi.

Cleaning the work bench off.
Guy brought over yesterday an HP500 to rebuild and make it a 540 at the same time. Will bring the other one over when this one is done.
I hate tear downs !!
Brand new is the only way to go. Just cannot find many Okies with that kind of coin. ;)

Yeah, what's the effen deal with digging into the back of the storage area for the Xmas stuff and then having to re-dig back in there weeks later to put the stuff away?! There's gotta be a better way.
We're taking the decorations and the 9' fakey tree down (well, my wife is downstairs while I ran upstairs to kill some time here :D ) and then I gotta take the lights off the house and the back fence and put them away and then put all that stuff back into storage which means organizing the storage space in the garage AGAIN.
I'd rather drink a 12 pack and forget about it...

Put it in the rafters in the garage. Much easier to get too.

Spent most of the morning out in the garage figuring out a better way to mount the hinges for the boats engine cover. They used freakin' wood screws which after a couple of years werre stripped or broken off :mad: Came up with a good backing plate that will allow me to through bolt them. Just have to wait until tomorrow to get some longer stainless pan head screws. Nothin' open today. Oh well the Rose Bowl is about to start.

Happy New Year (now bring on spring and the boatin')

Gonna buy a tough shed to put all of the musical gear in (PA speakers and stuff) and then put all of the christmas decorations up in the attic. They have been on the floor in the garage since doing away with the mini storage this year. Once that is done I can try to get the garage turned into a garage instead of a ministor....
:D
