No pressure there!!!!!

Well, back to work today, and I guess I will spend a little time in my garage. I brought back much of my brothers garage yesterday. Nice rolling bench and heavy 4 level rack, both Whalen Storage items. I put wheels under the storage rack. Their site says 2000 lbs per level if on the beams! I guess those 400/500 lb casters I bought might be a little undersized if I start storing diesel engines on it or something.

Now I have something I thought I would never have--too many tools.

5 staple guns for example.

Anyway, this is the second house/garage we've cleaned out this year.

Tidy up before you pass is my latest advice to all.

Two days of vacation left. Headed out with the Jeep to Lone Pine, maybe as far as Big Pine. Gotta find some interesting stuff to explore.


Speaking of - for those of you who like this off-roading stuff, I highly recommend any of the guides by this guy: Roger Mitchell, Track and Trail Publications | 4×4 Trail guides to backcountry adventures for the entire family!


Here is one example.
Amazon Amazon


Later dudes!

Long tome no post

How is everyone?

I've got something up my sleeve, but I've been instructed to keep it hush hush for the time being. It should be good fun.

I'm sure you did! Our likely mutual contact asked me if I knew anyone who would want to attend. I recommended you, although I would have been shocked if they hadn't already invited you.

The rest of you, dont worry. It will be announced soon enough. I wish I could talk about it, but until the sponsor says so, its all shhhhh.

I bet Pop's could share a few memories of that part of the world.

Hope the oysters were delicious.

I lived in Nashville, and only rarely got to Memphis, other than to pass through.

Getting chilly back there, Sean? We leave for St. Louis on Wednesday morning, so we're kinda' watching the weather back there.

Gonna' be a long 2000 miles towing a trailer if it gets nasty!

Have a great time! E'chu some ba-ba-que, and we'll swap notes. Going to be hard for you to beat dem good ol' boys at SuperSmokers, though! Where, incidentally, I'll be hanging my hat next Sunday night! Mmm-mmm-mmm!

Since you spend so much time in St. Louis, you need to get to know those guys!

Looks to be warm this week in Memphis Pop. BBQ pork pizza is on the wish list.

Made the obligatory visit to the MLK museum at Lorraine Hotel.
