    That's what I'm here for, the mods and the gear.
    Just take the average of the two, easy.

    Non-truck related, back to garage stuff.
    Will paint the other half next weekend. (suppose to be warmer)
    Taping and mudding the poorly drywalled ceiling, the best I can and using a textured spray to hide the unevenness, seems like a viable option.
    ................My projects take awhile.

    That side is very clean and organized. What does the other side look like?

    When I built my garage 18+ years ago, I wish I would've finished the walls and ceiling. Unfortunately that wasn't in the budget.

    I did my time living out of several toolboxes. Fishing around the bottom for the right size socket....
    When things are always in the same place it's less likely to forget 'where you left it'. :facepalm:
    Except the 10mm and the board-stretcher. :notsure:

    The other side? Ohh no. You don't want to see the other side....

    Look closely on the left. I have a 3rd gen.....it's where I hang my waders!
    :rofl:

    I still want to hang a couple 4 footer leds on ea. side. Hang them at a 45° pointing toward the vehicles.
    Like we do at work with our presses.
    Get good light and shit won't fall into/onto the machinery.

    I'm always intrigued by the installation and the riggers hauling the big units around. Getting all devices lined up and in time.
    We still have a smaller 2 color ryobi that we put an envelope feeder on and still use for envelopes.
    Well, Mitsubishi is Ryobi and the Fuji Jpresses are on ryobi frames so I guess we have 4 Ryobi's (2 mitsu, 1 fuji, 1 Ryobi and Komori web.)
    2 Epson digitals but I don't count those.

    We had a good time running a route through from Mellon to Mercer. Very icy. We both thought James would not have appreciated how slippery it was. Got to watch Rich miss a turn. Got the controller to pump a few times too…. Missed a turn and had to use 4x4 to get turned around (Tim would still be there…). Fun!

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    On the way back home, I was thinking about the 'scary truck' comment...you could've told 'Karen': you got me, now you know what the shovel is for. :rofl:
