Good Day To Clean The Workshop
« on: April 23, 2019, 05:50:33 PM »
Well, as the topic says - it was time to get to the Spring cleaning of the workshop, which I'm still doing - but have taken a little break... Now if I could just remember why I have some of the stuff I bought before retirement and what I was going to use it for - I'd be way a'head of the game.... Back to cleaning... :toast :shake

Still cleaning the workshop, but I did wash 101 used cleaning patches this morning, (gotta save where you can). Anyway, with only 4 small clothes-pins, I'm gonna be a'while drying them.   :o :Doh!

Yep Joe! Washing cleaning patches, you be tinkering!
I back the truck up to the shop when I'm Spring cleaning, cause I've got "Junk" .... Junk that needs to go to the landfill.
I've got waaay too many starter projects that I wasn't very proud of, if ya get my drift. So, rather than just give them to the next guy that comes around saying "Whats that for, can I have it?" .... I just junk it and haul it off.
In fact, my cleaning up of the shop and garage is scheduled for this weekend, when everybody is gone across the mountain for a Baby Shower.......Great grandbaby #7, I think.
Mama Bear keeps up with things like that, kinda embarrassing at times when the kids come around, suspect I get over it a lot faster than they do, not sure what the big deal is.
It's the many things we don't do that totally sets us apart.

Hey...once you're finished you can head my way...I could use some encouragement to do the same. (A swift kick usually works best...) I like the looks of that butt in the photo. I have one that gets lot of attention from visitors. I find it better than horseshoes.

Weekend before this last one my 9 year old grandson wanted to throw the hawk, which I'd'a been all for that - 'cept there was 2 feet of snow in that area.  Yesterday I did set up the other hawk block in the front/side yard where my 25 yard archery Range is - so we'll get some hawk throwing in this weekend.  :hairy
