You should see mine! You can’t even see I have vw bug

 

Thanks but it’s also brand new. I am being kind of militant about what’s allowed in there.

 

Sweet!
Are the wall panels a plastic material? It looks easy to wipe down.

I'm kind of militant about what is allowed in too -- if it leaks oil on the floor it probably is acceptable...

 

The walls and ceiling are Trusscore. trusscore.com

 

It's only gonna get worse here soon if things happen how I think are gonna happen...

 

You trying to have a kid? You've never seen junked up until your garage collects the bouncer, the stroller, the backup stroller, those 3 bags of clothes her cousin brought over to look through...etc it never ends. Now we're into Disney power cars...

 

Oh Hell no

Grandma might be "forced" to move in, so I need to blow out the kitchen closet to add a half bath (I only have 1 bathroom currently). Also a bit of painting, wiring, etc... etc...

 

Yikes!^

 

We used to go to Farmington Dragway in North Carolina for the VW show and drag races. It never failed to have a few guys show up in Camaro’s, Nova’s, Mustang’s, etc. and attempt to race a VW. The rail buggies were the best since they would come off the line and carry the front end halfway down the track.

 

Don’t have a video of it on the track but here’s a picture of a friend’s ragtop oval with a big turbo 2387. Built it for street and strip

 

I was about 19 or 20 in my friends big block Chevelle. At a set of lights a vw bug pulled up on his right he revs up the engine and my friend chuckles. Light turns green my friend floors it and I’m in the passenger seat looking out the window at this vw bug passing us pulling a wheelie! I’ve been hooked ever since.

 

Don`t laugh long ago we had them Parkerized they seemed to hold up well One of the local Gun Smiths did it for a few dollars More then 50 years ago there has to be some fancy new product by now

 

When I was kid, we used to boil the traps in walnut husks. They would be very black.

 

Good evening guys. I took advantage of some decent weather today to get some outside stuff done before the cold weather invades us.

 

I thought about that but all the walnuts are off the trees now. The squirrels have taken care of all of them!

 

Why? (Seeking to understand)

 

Walnut husks decompose into a black dye.

Anyone who has cleaned walnuts can show you their black hands.

It's the same compound that makes black walnut wood stain.

 

Got that part... why put the traps in it tho?

 

Some things are weary of shiny things & others wished they were.
