In my bedroom floor--I rebuilt my vacuum cleaner again. Sucked up a shoelace and it proceeded to get shredded by the steel bottom plate in my vintage Eureka. Looks like I'll have to add a new beater bar to the budget. The original (on it when I got it) has loud bearings--so they're probably bad.
I went to my shop to start cleaning things up in preparation for some new toolboxes.
Next month, I decided to put off the 3D printer yet another month, and get a new toolbox. My old Craftsman bottom in the garage is beat to holy heck, and they had been so overloaded with junk (all stuff my Dad stored in there, despite it being my Granddad's box) that it ripped the slides out of the frame. Thus, US General Series 3 27" bottom plus organization was felt to be a better utilization of the "big purchase" segment of the July budget. Also, I'm buying (possibly instead of the US General) the Blackhawk boxes (and contents) of the tools belonging to my great-Grandpa, as well as the Snap-On boxes (and contents) of my great-uncle. I'm sure I can get them for around $500 (all I can afford--plus my Granddad's sisters tend to sell stuff to resellers for pennies on the dollar anyway)--and thus have a pretty darn solid American-made box (and a decent helping of American-made tools).
Also, I'm ditching some crude shelving for a wall of organizer bins. That way, I won't have to dig aimlessly for hardware.
My Dodge needs a few things (and me getting a new front plate sticker and registration--lost them back in the winter) before I get this year's inspection sticker and put it back on the road. It probably won't fit in a Crosstrek or Escape, and will likely have to be loaded by forklift. Probably unloaded by tractor. Either I'll use my buddy's truck or have a relative with a towing company haul it on a rollback.
