Spring Clean before Winter

Its that time of year... where the bug that's been biting my ass to get my workshop cleaned up and re-organized has finally kicked into gear...

Every year it happens... over the previous months the junk collects, usually on top of any open flat surface... ie: if I need to weld something right now I would need a 4 hr lead time to clean the area before starting...

I have a pallet full of junk metal (not to mention crap inside the workshop) that I am too lazy to drive 45 mins to a recycling place as it is usually full of people and the line takes forever and... well it pays off regardless of the PIA it is...  last time I took half a trailer of scarp up and came away with $400 but that's cause I also had a couple of converters...

One of the things I achieved was moving my shelving with a bunch of 'crap' into the basement.. then I sorted out all of my Birchwood Casey targets.. Ava sometimes doesn't think through her questions but after all she is only 7 years old... She walks into the workshop and sees the wall... and asks.. "Are you shooting your gun in here now?"... No dear, your Mother wouldn't like that much...

Oh and my buddy informs me now that he is considering selling his car.. my dream car.. the car I convinced him that if he ever sold it (he said he wouldn't ever) I had the first dibs...

OK OK... so that isnt really the car... this is

Karen took me to Treasure Island Casino overnight on saturday night... both our nights were ruined when for her the BINGO was too damn expensive to play and she wanted me to play which doubled the cost, so then we went searching for the UFC fight... casino doesn't play it, so then up to our room where we find out the casino doesn't do PPV even though their directory tells you the way to disable PPV channels... So then after Karen got nice and cozy in the hot tub I decided lets go find it somewhere.. so an hour later we return to our room after failing to find anywhere in podunksville that had it on their screens....

So tv and chips in our room it was...

here is a pic of the hot tub-san Karen... hehehe
