I am going in for a follow up with the Doctor that did the cortisone injection in my elbow, I am hoping he can shed a bit of light on my options for the other elbow that I think has a piece of bone floating around in there. Today is going to be a slow one for any progress, the first part of the week will most likely be that way. I do need to unload the trailer that has the Lista parts in it and the Matsuura has at least one leveling foot that needs to be rethreaded, going to have to figure out what thread it is, guessing it will be metric. It was a large one, so I don't think I am going to have the die to run over the threads, probably 30mm or somewhere around there.
They took x-rays of my other elbow, but he said he wanted an MRI, then we should know what is going on. Also took x-rays of my finger, I guess technically it is considered a sprain, I cracked the bone and tore a bit of the ligaments, it will heal in a year or so, my knuckle will most likely always be swollen and stiff, at least for the rest of my life. 
Unloaded the Lista cabinet parts from Friday, ended up with 9 roll out shelves/trays, 10 fixed adjustable shelves, 6 upright pieces (sides), and a bunch of extra panels for them. This should really open up things for my storage at the Hill, I have to modify three of the uprights, I might modify more, but I need to figure out my layout up there first. I haven’t reviewed that space for a while, been thinking of the Salvage Garage. Even if I can’t make exactly what I would like, I am sure I can come pretty close. The best part is that I didn’t destroy all the tall uprights, so there is enough to do the SG stockroom without buying more uprights. I figure I will end up having to buy some more shelving/drawers, but I won’t need to do that for quite a while.

That is some nice shelving.
Totally at a standstill, I have a lot of paper to shred and I need a new shredder, Dad and I are fighting over it, he wants me to go to Staples and get the cheapest one and I have been looking at this:
It will shred paper no problem, but we will need to put a bigger door on the office, this is why I got the large fume extractor, so we can get all the exhaust smells out while running the new paper shredder.
Paying a service would probably be the best bet. Just box it up and they'll haul it away. At work, we put a big cardboard box on a skid and load it right into the truck.
Those little shredders are worthless and the full size shredders take up a ton of room, are expensive, and you still need to waste time endlessly shredding.

Well I already bought the new shredder, I am going to pick it up next week, I am currently using a chain saw to cut the larger doorway into the office. I am going to have to haul in a few hundred yards of dirt to make a ramp so I can drive it up into the office, I just hope the floor is strong enough.

GJ Motto - You can never have enough scope-creep.
On the way home I stopped to look at what was supposed to be three Lista cabinets, turned out to be one Lista cabinet and two Stor-Loc cabinets. I had never seen those before, nicely built, totally USA made and built similar to the Lista cabinets. Unfortunately not interchangeable. It was an older gentleman that had retired and wanted to sell the cabinets with all the tools and supplies. I ended up making an offer that he accepted, so now I own some Stor-Loc cabinets, totally screwing up the Lista vibe! I won't be picking those up until this weekend and I didn't get any of my own pictures, he didn't seem like the type to have his garage posted online. There are some decent tools and supplies, but the real score is the three cabinets.

I didn't know that you owned any Fords.
I actually own two, plus the water crossing.
Headed out even earlier tomorrow, I am picking up a tire balancer. I tried to buy a tire machine last week, but the seller flaked and hasn’t responded since we discussed picking it up. Kind of annoyed, might try again and see if they will respond this time.

Did the new gravel help lessen the the water?We had some serious rain today, I had to go fording to get into the Salvage Garage, my feet are wet now, but everything is unloaded.

Will it do truck tires or something?
Yup, pretty big ones too. It has almost all the adapters for every type of rim, looks like I may need some pieces if I want to balance any Dayton (open center wheels). It will do small tires too, but the center hole has to fit the 2” shaft of the balancer. It should do just about everything I currently have. I do own a smaller balancer, but the plan was to sell it and just run the new one.

As a veteran of public service, this appears to be one of those "federal" models, you know the one that handles a LOT of documents you wouldn't want anyone else to find... oops....Totally at a standstill, I have a lot of paper to shred and I need a new shredder, Dad and I are fighting over it, he wants me to go to Staples and get the cheapest one and I have been looking at this:

I have to pick up some more IBC totes, I had to give up a couple to more waste oil (not complaining about free heat), I found some 330 gallon ones, these will be dedicated for water though. I am trying to swap out all of my rusty ones with the full plastic pallet bottom ones, they are great, but a bit harder to find, unless they have something nasty in them, then it isn't as hard to find them.
Well, once again, I have done something that outwardly seems stupid. I just bought a 3 axis CNC Bridgeport, just like the 2 axis one, except with the third axis. I can’t pick it up for a week or so, it is going to replace the 2 axis one. Now I need to get the 2 axis one fixed and listed on eBay post haste. Of course there were some other things that came with it, got an older card file cabinet full of stainless steel hardware, another thing to deal with!
There has to be a few thousand dollars worth of hardware as well, then there is a lot of lathe tooling and end mills, plus hold down clamps and brackets galore. This isn’t even all of it.
I am a bit nervous though, this means that I really do have to start selling things, I definitely don’t have enough room for two Bridgeports and the Matsuura.

I like his use of switch/receptacle boxes as hardware containers. May have to adopt that.

Wow! Maybe relocate the 2-axis mill to a corner at the Hill for those truck and trailer part modifications on the fly?
The Matsuura seems to be the “elephant in the room”.
