A Coffee Wasted

So of course, it rained today. It’s probably going to rain all month. In fact if it snows in the Seattle area I know who you can blame. I rode out to Starbucks to get some lunch today and ordered a mocha out of habit, before realizing that I couldn’t possibly take it with me. [...]

Tool Count: 283…

…and forever rising.
With the Leigh’s recent shop acquisition I’ve been tasked with a few real issues, notably getting a Jeep, a boat, a motorcycle, a go-kart and whatever else Alex decides is the flavor of the week. Realizing that now I’ve actually got the environment and knowledge base to grow from my mechanically deficient state [...]

Looking for Shop Furniture

If anyone comes across a cheap set of bar stools (qty 4) let me know. We need some stools for the work tables we are going to build downstairs and for the upstairs counters.
I am not sure about how to outfit the upstairs office yet. Foldy chairs are leading, but a couple of cheap chairs [...]
