I don't know how many times I've cleaned up the garage and sheds ,moved stuff out to shed then move it back to the garage and visa versa Every time I do this I find something that I thaught was lost, it's almost like a treasure hunt.I'm starting to think it's a big waste of time to organize then re-organize.It always tends to get messed up again and again. My tools are always organized real good but it's stuff like intakes,carbs, TBI, injectors, heads, rear ends'engines that I'm moving back and forth I have lots of shelving with oil and other parts ign ,belts, ball joints ,drive axles So do you think it's a waste or not? Sure keeps me busy doing nothing

You do realize that is a sign of getting old! Makes you wish you had a collection of lighter weight things too!

It is part of the male make up. It replaces the whining and complaining, that is part of a female make up. There are other chemistries that control these urges, unlike our female friends who......I better stop, I hear LF and my wife coming....Ouch, ow, darn, oooo, Ouch. Later dudes

You think moving from the shed to garage, visa versa is bad, try moving the whole household. :eek: <br /><br />There is ONE sure way to find your old (whatever). Buy a new one. :rolleyes:

That's the problem DJ I do buy a new one then I finally find the three I already have and can't find because of the constant suffle :confused:Quit that moving household thing 15 years ago but I still feel I'm in the moving business

Old fellow once told me that everyone ought to have a shed. Once a year you burn it down, and you never miss a thing you put in it.<br /><br />Jinx

I miss my collection of junk. I had a big bucket of bolts, washers, nuts, etc I could alwasy count on. Five years in my dads barn and they were 100% rust.<br /><br />Plus half my other junk.<br /><br /> :( <br /><br />Ken

Don't have that problem Ken my bolts and nuts are in containers with oil added, I even store rotors with grease smeard on them, then it's a mater of cleaning when you find the figgin things

...and I thought I was the only one with this problem... On the up-side, sometimes you find something really good you forgot you had. I found myself a really good multimeter in my garage the other day :D
