Went out to the garage feeling that I should do *something* productive after work instead of staring at a computer monitor cruising Youtube videos on welding, car repair, fabrication, etc. Didn't know what I would do, but decided to find something to make the place better.
Cleaned off two wire rack shelves that had become cluttered. Put my shop digital camera on the battery charger- it had been three years and 500 photos, but the battery finally was too weak to run the camera, so that got a 3 hour charge.
Gloves. How many gloves do you have? I keep buying them and stashing pairs in every vehicle, shed, garage, etc. Found I had too many mismatched pairs, some with damage, etc. Tossed any bad gloves and resorted them, got a small plastic bin to put on the wire shelf for 'active' gloves I would actually use.
BOLTS. I have good storage for new bolts in their assorted areas and trays. But what do you do with all the misc small number of bolts you collect over time? That one odd bolt for the lawn mower, or some tool specific bolts. Maybe a bolt pack of some sort you didn't use. You can't just throw out bolts! I've had bolt/screw coffee cans in the past, but decided this time instead of filling up trays or such with one off bolts, I'd just dedicate on single 5 gallon bucket for this purpose. Yes, I will have to dig for stuff if I need it, but at least it's all in one place for those odd ball used bolts that I have no idea what it was for. Eventually I can just recycle it. Don't really have a better solution, but at least it won't be horizontal space clutter.
Man, those are some olllld tires.
