What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[SMOKEYBEAR]

Swapped a home made cart out for a Husky. I shopped around quite a bit( a lot actually), looking at numerous brands, picked the Husky exclusively for the dimensions (width). Trying to get stuff easier to access. Swapped out the casters, added a back stop and started getting stuff sorted in their new home. Unloaded most of the contents of the old Mac box so I could slide it off one and onto the other. It's forcing me to sort through some items as well. The top of the Mac box became a catch all. Pics, no order..

I was driving all day so the printer had the garage to itself.
It finished all the parts for the chopsaw dust chute.


The flesh bag will have to assemble it. I'll see how it works tomorrow.

Front wheels not bald anymore! Old knobby bicycle tires....

I need tires for my Honda mower. Slicks on the drive wheels just don't cut it. Haven't found tires only - you have to buy the whole wheel assembly. OEM's are twice the price of aftermarket but I'm a bit reluctant to go with aftermarket.

Beautiful work!

Ran the 3d printer during a thunderstorm last night. Was lucky the power didn't go out. Then this morning I added some feet to the inflatable's power supply. I also replaced the fan guard with a duct to try and keep water out of it.

Later today I'm getting a new shelf for the shop. I want to reorganize another section of it.

I believe the politically correct term would be ”carbon unit” although “flesh bag” is an improvement over “ugly bag of mostly water”lol

There's a spray that can be used to prevent apples from setting fruit. If I can recall what it is, I'll apply it next spring.

Agent Orange...

So far, I haven't done **** in or near the shop, but we had a little breeze last night:





I'm calling those out of my ballpark. I need to find a tree service company. My old contacts in the business are retired or dead.

Now I'm going to do something, like pick up all the debris that's blown around the property and assess the damages.

So much for sleeping in of a Saturday....

Shade cover cables held up well.

 

[Beerhippie]

But, wait, there's more:



I had that little non-bearing, flowering crabapple looking pretty nice.

Other than that,



Not so bad. Local weather station--about six miles from here--reports the max gust at 60 mph. I think it might have been a little higher here--Chinook winds are fluky and locally variable.

Considering all those cable do is hold up some string lighting, yep.

The kids up front panicked as they thought the cables were some sort of power mains.

Well, they could be...

And then I find this email from IR in my inbox:

Is your compressed air system prepared to handle the summer heat?​

Dude, that's eight months away!

Am I seeing the one tree in the power likes in the first two pics? if so power co. needs a called!

That's some serious wind!

Thought about a weather station for the Pub? It could be entertaining in the bar!

No power lines involved. The "line" in the picture is just a 5/16" cable supporting some yard string lights.

Believe me, if there was anything down on the feeds, the power co. would have been called last night.

FFS--Looks like there are no good tree services out here anymore. I'd be comfortable with the one that's lying mostly down--I could chunk it back without breaking those cables--but the one hanging in the other tree... just nope. I'm hoping the power co. will agree that it's threatening their lines and deal with that one.

Googling tree service Enterprise OR gets me lots of hits that all have different names and the same address... that looks like total BS to me.

 

[Just Puttering]

Popped the car up on wheel cribs :



Time for a new clutch slave seal, and all fluids changed.

 

[nadogail]

Not even close:

I have a collection of fasteners, mostly sorted by diameter and pitch

 

[48windsor]

[phred]

Finally hung the new neon sign.

 

[niget2002]

Started reorganizing the 3d printer and laser area.

Before.


After.



I still need to move the printer and laser from this big thing over to the shelf and load it up with the rest of the stuff from this area. I didn't measure it, but I think the printer and laser should both fit on the 3rd shelf.

Pacific Power sent a guy out to deal with the leaner that was threatening the power lines.



I have my work cut out for me tomorrow--and likely the next day. Good thing my chains are sharp and saws tuned.

Chinooks are part of life out here. I think that makes 27 trees we've had blow down in the last thirty-odd years.

 

[Outlawmws]

Was he direct employee for Pacific Power, or a contractor?

 

[Outlawmws]

And looks like a couple are pretty close on your neighbors lot...

 

[DGersic]

Oil changed, suspension and driveshafts greased on my Dakota.

Took down, cleaned out, and stored the birdhouses. All three got nests this year.

Had to chase a chipmunk out of the garage. He wandered in while I was cleaning up from the oil change.

I have two Husky rollaways both bigger than pic. Not to out do u.
I moved from a triple ht Craftsman. Feel your pain!

Pac Power truck and jacket--I'd say employee.

 

[48windsor]

Like you I did some research!

 

[KwikFab]

Rail is done

 

[48windsor]

Finally hung the new neon sign.

That could hang in my shop.
That's nice

I call it the wetware.

Too bad, might have been a lead for a "tree guy"

 

[Skyman]

No, don't have enough driveway to justify it. Takes me 30mins or so to shovel walks and what I need to clear of the gravel drive way. Plow itself was missing.






66, was a factory turbo 152 but not sure where/when/why turbo and its hardware went missing. So 152, 3spd, and a twin stick 20.



Got it running so the wipers will work for vin inspection and roadworthiness check for going from bill of sale to title.
Once that is done... 5.3LS goes in with NV4500, ORD magnum/205 combo, 60/14 bolt, some K5 blazer or YJ or Waggy leaf springs and 40s go in.

I'd be keen to follow along if you'd care to post details of the LS / NV4500 swap whenever you get around to it.

When the 4.3L in my C1500 finally wears out, I'd like to replace it with an LS. The truck has an NV4500.

We've been known to have winds in the 90s, so those of us that don't like do-overs, landscape and build to it.

Now that could get misinterpreted!

A lot less than hardware.

Cleaned, flung, put away. Cut the liner out of a Makita drill case. Unwrapped and loaded tools in the case. Cleaned and reloaded the oil case. Rolled up the now dry boat ropes. Cleaned again. Filled and refinished my nails.

The tech from the local company that does the warranty work for Geni Garage Door Openers came as scheduled and installed the new Safety Beam Sensors. This work was done under the "Life Time Warranty" he also adjusted a switch that the installer of the new door missed.

I feel like I have been well treated; the Garage Door Opener was purchased from Home Depot in 1999.
