  • Shop clean up.

    Well having sooooo many things on the go at anyone time has left me no choice. I have to to take a couple days and clean up my shop and put all the tools back where they belong. Can't find anything now, seem to have lost a drill in this mess, and my stock of mikuni jets is lying under something cuz I haven't seen them in a month. Scewdrivers have all vanished, chordless phone has walked off all by itself I'm sure. Pencil's and paper? Has anyone seen my funnels?

          Gee, I have that problem, and a ONE CAR garage! But then, it has storage, the MNS, the BMW, work bench, TIG welder, tool box, golf bags, bicycle, etc.

            Now where did I put that?

            I know all about that too.
            I like having things on "display" so they are easy to spot (in theory)
            My garage is jammed full of 10 bikes,12 ft. boat, 1964 buick,
            misc other parts, construction tools I also work on things on my back patio,
            So I travel from one to the other....hunting and as soon as I put them away.....I need them again!
            The worst thing for me is telling myself..." I'll put this (whatever"
            RIIIGHT HEEEERE so it will be easy to find next time,
            If I could figure where I lost my memory,I'd be okay!!!!
