Re: what did you do in your garage today? It wasn't today (it was actually yesterday), but I pulled the front drums off my '62 Electra and took them to the auto hobby shop on base to get them turned. Got back home and realized that I hadn't ordered the new shoes. So, I am at a standstill...

I would love to find a desk like that. That desk is awesome.

McMaster-Carr has a cool selection of pegboard. Search "pegboard" on their website. They have regular hardboard, translucent white polypropylene, steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Actually had time to work out in the garage today...Pulled the '62 Buick out, cleaned things up a little, and started painting the entertainment center I built.

I was paging through my copy and Jack's garage jumped out at me too. Didn't know the other one was a Garage Journal member too.

Here are the pics of my new-to-me Snapper. I haven't gotten it cleaned up yet (hopefully that will happen this weekend). Purchase price was $150, then spent another $40 to do a tune up, sharpen the blade, and replace the drive wheel. Total cost is about $200...not bad IMO for a Snapper...

You got my MOS right, but I didn't go through C&E school at 29 Palms. My whole school was at MCLB Albany. Shortly after I went through the school it moved to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland, now it is moving to Fort Lee, VA.

Thanks for the replies! It sounds like the consensus is to wait. That is why I asked the question. If there hadn't been the thought in the back of my head that it might be a bad idea I would have just gone out and bought it. Unfortunately, I can't pack the cardboard boxes myself. Part of...

H all! I'm going to be moving across the country in about a month. The movers will be here in about three weeks to pack everything up. My problem is that my tools are a disorganized mess, spread out between a three drawer Craftsman box, a cheap plastic box, a tool bag, some sitting on the...
