Drove up to Pat Skelly's this afternoon. Ditched all my welders and some tool stands on him for safekeeping during the move. Had a nice dinner and now the wimmen are jabberjawing and the guys are bs'ing. I am going to try and fill up Pat's shop with 'stuff'... Jeff The Garage Majal might get a little full... Matthew P.S. Ya know, my grandad built the Garage Majal, and I'm sure he'll be glad to build you one as well. ;) lol. > Drove up to Pat Skelly's this afternoon. > Ditched all my welders and some tool stands on him for safekeeping [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > I am going to try and fill up Pat's shop with 'stuff'... > Jeff Ha!! Jeff, I feel for ya! I only had to move my crap (errrr, I mean "stuff" 100 yards) and I'm worn out from it! The story is..... I finally got to reclaim my shop space this weekend! On Saturday, I hired three workers to empty two old storage sheds (1 is 15'x20' tin shed, the other is an older 28'x8' tractor trailer unit sitting on the steel rails). We sealed them both up, put new subflooring in the trailer and then threw away about 2 tons of crap and junk....THEN yesterday we finally cleared all the extraneous "household stuff" from the shop! We moved everything except "FRAGILE" boxes and important documents (they went to a new overhead storage area on top of my 'parts room') down to the storage rooms! WOOHOO!! I now have a semi-clean shop and garage space again...and I can even see my roll-around tool boxes and can get to the shelves holding all my pnuematic and electric tools, and I can reach a can of carb spray without using a 'graber stick' of having to move 8 boxes of crap to get to the shelf!! Of course, I now two storage sheds COMPLETELY FULL of furniture, household goods, extra lawn equipment and the accumulation of JUNK that neither of us can bear to part with! The good part is that now I can get BOTH Avantis back into the shop and get mine back out of this blazing Texas sunshine! The bad part is that now I don't have any excuse NOT to get out there and work on it...except that same blazing Texas heat!! The temp here hit 106 at my place on Saturday and 104 yesterday. The truth is..... I spent more time sitting and supervising the 3 workers than I did actually DOING any work but that's okay, I don't have problem being "El Jefe" and watching other people work!

We have decided to start putting the brand-x stuff on ebay beginning in late September as parts cars as none have titles except for a single '50 Champion two door. I also had a "helper" (legal at that) and "we" stripped a bunch of stuff of a '82 Honda Civic for spares for my car. It was hot but there were enough clouds to call direct sun a 50/50 proposition. I brought 12 bottles of cold spring water and we drank 10 of 'em in less than 2 1/2 hours. All in all, a good day. JT > Ha!! Jeff, I feel for ya!
