As it is right now I had to take multiple pain pills throughout the day just to get it done.

Sometimes I’m just too damn hard headed.

I should have called around and seen if anyone was available to help.

But because it was the first really nice day around here in a couple weeks, something tells me everyone would have been busy anyway though.

Pretty much everything in these two pictures except the big red toolbox got moved today.

And I am wiped clear out now.

My lower back and my legs are done in.

Especially my legs.

I couldn’t tell you how many times I had to sit down and take a break.

At one point it was every three or four minutes.

But I got it done.

Now that I have everything situated, I am going to go through that big white cabinet and the big black file cabinet, sort out stuff to keep and get rid of both of them.

Then all the crap in the whole garage is going to get gone through and a whole bunch of it is going.

If you look closely, you will notice that I moved all the machines into a square with a good size opening in the middle and all of them except the grinders are facing in.

I am going to get a rolling architect’s stool and set it in the middle so I can just roll around from machine to machine and the main cabinets without having to get up.

Something like this, with wheels.

This is long overdue and is partly the result of being nagged at for years.

It’s going to work good for me and somebody else better damn well be happy too.

I had no idea this was a thing.

Apparently you can buy a brand spanking new Old School Jeep.

Actually, you stick their body on a Wrangler frame…

And the trailers they used behind them.

They also make Aftermarket Off Road parts for the newer Jeeps too.

Where I work they have some of the same kind of lasers that they are using in the video to cut the parts out of the sheet steel with.

It’s interesting if you have never seen it before.

I have uploaded two videos as they highlight two aspects, the first is actual production and the second is a tour with the owner who explains a lot about it.

Both also diverge into different subjects so when you get to that point in the video just stop.

This country is doomed.

Yeah, OK, the left handed hammer thing is a joke as we all know.

The thing is, watch them search their damn phones trying to find ANY hammer.

Here’s a tip for you little dumbasses.

Take a few minutes EVERY DAY and just walk around the damn store looking to see where stuff is.

YOU SHOULDN’T NEED A DAMN PHONE TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE THINGS AT THE STORE YOU WORK AT.

Case in point.

Several years ago now I went into an ACE Hardware store looking for some obscure item.

There was a very cute young lady working in there and I asked her if she knew if they had any.

She didn’t even blink an eye, gave me the aisle number and told me where it was on that aisle.

After I found that item I remembered there was something else I needed so I found her again and asked her.

Same thing.

Aisle number AND DRAWER NUMBER.

Right off the top of her head with no hesitation.

If I had to guess, I wouldn’t have put her past 21 years of age, if that.

That young lady had her shit together and by now I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if I went back and found her running the place.

This was just before The Kung Flu hit town so what happened to our kids in that space of time?

Might want to start laughing out of the other side of your mouth.

This is Joe Biden’s, I mean Barack Obama’s America now in 2024.

The fucking Federal Bureau of Investigation knocking on front doors of American Citizen’s because of Facebook posts.

We are one step closer.
