Yesterday we brought home 400 cases of girl scout cookies... so my garage is a bit full at the moment. As soon as they are gone, I have a towhitch to install on my wife's Ford Freestyle. Then its on to the '78 Ford.

Sold a bunch more junk, more to goodwill. Organized my tools. Found an old Craftsman Toolbox that I am going to clean up and sell. All the ones that I have seen like this one had tabs for a tool tray. This one has no tabs and no signs that they were ever there. Anyone have info on this model?

This morning I pulled more stuff from the shelves to put up for sale. Added more to the goodwill pile... and a bit more to the dump pile. Fired up an old Craftsman tablesaw that I was gifted a year or so ago. It was untested and the lady said her husband hadn't used it for at least a decade...

Listed a bunch of items on eBay. Cleaned a bit more and found more to get rid of. Hoping to get working on my Studebaker, build a working engine for it, and be able to pull my '78 ford into the garage to start working on it as well. Gotta make room for Girl Scout Cookies!

I detailed my Technics SL1200MK2 turntable as best as I could. Getting ready to put it on eBay. Got the original box down from the rafters and will be boxing it up soon and hopefully sending it on down the line to another audiophile. Next is taking pictures, testing and documenting my Technics...

Well now, that was a fun read. Truly an incredible piece of property and your work is outstanding. When you do finally get your garage built, will you use same architecture as the house? Meaning, plenty of windows facing the water... "The Glass Garage." I think it would be a nice touch to the...

Good to know. Maybe I should look to upgrade to LED fixtures one of these days.

Never did get around to the drywall in the shop. Still a some day project as time and money permits. Since my last post.... Office was redone in the garage and is usable. Got this done last winter. New can lights, paint, heater freshened up, blinds, desk.... the better half was very happy...

I added another project to my garage... a '78 Ford F150 Ranger Lariat. Got rid of a bunch of **** that was taking up space. Built more shelving... with more to come. Started listing more stuff for sale... including the canopy that came with the truck.

Worked on my Studebaker a bit today.... come to find out, there are 4 or 5 stuck valves. Started soaking them in PB Blaster. Pulling the rocker arms tomorrow. Will then add MMO see if I can free them with the ol brass hammer. New truck comes home next week. Sent from my SM-G950U using The...

Went and looked at another project to add to the fleet... a '78 F150 Ranger Lariat. It has the 460/C6/9" rear. Originally an AZ truck so it's pretty rust free. Sent from my SM-G950U using The Garage Journal mobile app
