Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL

So Google tells me you guys are about 2 hours and 110 miles apart, is there a pickup planned for tomorrow ? (Unless it happened today - it's 7:30 am here so maybe it happened while I was sleeping)

LOL, I'm curious on what navigation is telling you that. My shows 2:54 short and 3:31 for long time. That only shows me to Fort Myers and not anywhere specific. As far as pick up times I'm got the honey to do list out waiting for the heat to die down.

As most you guys know my garage has been a on going almost 10 year project and it's getting old from the wife's stand point. It's my fault also cause I've been putting off house projects to change garage. On plan xxxx and again I just changed it again so wife is about over it at this point. Good news is these are last 2 pieces I needed for the wall I've been looking for.

LOL, what's the old saying.... Hey, CB I'm not scared of your wife but mine... LOL

Ok scary point, when I see you in a month what happens if your wife and mine start talking....? I think I'm scared to even think about it! Shorty might end up with Craftsman and Listas. That's ok if that happens we each get to break a thumb. LOL

Hey I have practice and I'll be happy to take the boxes. I think a little bird might tell a couple of wives, the boxes go or I break your thumb.

How about a vise grip to test the current state of your thumb.:lol_hitti
Leave my rusted, needing to be lubed,debts straightened, painted, angles frames welded, set on castors Listas alone.
I guess I'll buy you a couple of beers to help you forget them.:beer:

I think he's eyeballing those Listas more than my Craftsman. That's right.... I can always threaten a demotion in the FGJ. I do owe you a favor so you can pick his new title. Hmmmmm...... Let's see LOL

Cool, but you'll have to provide us with a safety moment once a week or so:D


Well, we know not to move a 700 lb battery without assistance, escape route, or cell phone near. LOL. It's damn good thing it's wasn't worse. We all done dumb things or all well planned out ideas that went all to hell.

Gerard, sorry, I can only give you one thumbs up -- but at least it isn't in a cast (yet). [ :thumbup: Imaginary left thumb.]

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL

Yep Gerard, that's a good one and just how true is it??

Regards


I have not done too much stupid stuff but enough to scare myself several times. I often think of all the videos I've seen of things going wrong. I think older I get the safer I become but still have moment where I get in rush and think "hey stupid". I have to think the GJ has something to do with being safer.

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL

I can provide monthly safety moments. I'll need a couple of volunteers. :lol_hitti:


I should be poster boy for wearing personal protection equipment or should say not wearing it. Let's see, dust mask, safety glasses, apron, gloves hearing protection and proper footwear. LOL, I don't know why but several times I welded in flip flops. Even if wearing shoes and socks there's always that damn amber that ends up perfectly down tongue of shoe burning right through sock. I've had wire wheel wires in places and once set my shirt on fire cutting a place of metal with angle grinder. I've done this before in my old work shirts but this time sparks where hitting it just right and caught shirt on fire.

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage 20 x 22 in FL

BOB, I'm sure you have a good wife to help you out if such a event happen.
Gerard, my wife has no sympathy when I get hurt doing stupid stuff. I roller and ice skated in my youth so I thought skate boarding would be no big deal. Skateboard won and I had a fractured elbow joint. When orthopedic surgeon put my arm in a half-cast, she said "You better figure out how to wipe your *** because I'm not doing that!" Probably a good thing because I did gain use of the elbow more quickly than expected....

When I nailed my hand to the shed, all she said was "You're gonna need a tetanus shot for that."

Re: My "Shop"

Gerard, I didn't notice the Matco calendar before, so I'm glad I did before you took it home where your wife could see it.

I looked through the whole year, until I found the one I really liked, not that I would dismiss the others.Sometimes you have to run block for your friends.

The models are ******* bunnies from 2001. Wonder what they are like now, 15 years later?

March preview please.

Let's see, they're probably around 35 so I'm guessing probably better looking imho.

Re: My "Shop"

Gerard, on that second CM wall, I bet you can't just stop at the one box.
I stumbled across this one today and I had to buy it to get a couple of CM vise grips. You might as well make a couple more brackets, you know you will want it.
