So far?
When I first moved in, back in 2019, I put the propane grill in the garage temporarily. 2 years later, I finally got around to pulling it out, and putting it on the back porch. Finally pulled the cover off the grill that was left here. It’s fairly decent actually. I might just use it!
Now that the grill is no longer against the wall, I moved the 3 engines on stands along that wall, and covered them with black bags. Dunno why. They’ve set open for 2 years lol.
Did all that, so I can start working on my 72 D100 shorty this spring/summer. It’s an EARLY 72, so even though 72-80 tail lights FIT, they actually use a 1 year only tail light. The pattern in the reverse area is different (lines for 72.5+, stars for early 72). So I got the correct lenses and buckets installed on the 72. They’re supposed to be NOS. The screw holes have no threads in the plastic, so I believe it!
Then took the lenses that WERE on it, and put them on the 73 parts truck. It’s not a parts truck per se, as it’s getting rebuilt from a d series to a w series.
We are expecting rain in the near future forecast. So I brought some more stuff from the trailer/trunk of the Lincoln and piled it on my work bench. This all left the garage a HUGE mess, but it’ll keep me occupied during the rainy days ahead.
I have some other stuff to attend to. Maybe I’ll get some more stuff done in the garage later, dunno lol. I’ll try!

Almost a half mile and the driveway left turn, and two more right turns away! I don't know how far run-overs moved it, but it's position was about where I stopped before turning Left...
