    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    So a few days ago my 94 Exploder quit running. Rolled it into the shop today and found the crankshaft position sensor bad. Half an hour and a couple scraped knuckles later and the daily beater is ready for another 250000 miles ...I hope.

    OT: Interesting thought came up during lunch. How does OSHA know what...

    Slightly off topic, I was on a job in China, offshore drilling rig in dry dock for rebuild. Lots of cutting, grinding, and welding going on. The indigenous personnel onsite were required to wear hard hats, it was a firing offense to be caught without one. They were mostly dressed in shorts...

    Let's See Your Garage Dog

    "threw away" maybe a bit of overstatement.:headscrat They just didn't bother to do anything about the injury because "we just figured he would die". Can't make any money off of dead dogs. I heard about it from a friend and asked if I could have him, couple of vet visits and several hundred...

    What Do You Wish You Had Done Differently?

    I would have 12' walls instead of 10'. More electrical outlets, figure how many you need then double it!!:sad:In retrospect I would have added more lighting, although that is relatively easy to correct. Larger doors.:thumbup: I had a 6' overhang porch on back, I should have had it 10' to 12'...
