The garage looks like a work shop for the first time today... well, I can see it. New shelves in one corner, and workbenches against the planned walls, electric cords strung to three locations (and the circuit breaker box location determined, and combination obtained). Still not enough room to walk around freely; but, it's coming. The air compressor has been cleaned out, and an air filter purchased which was broken new. The parts cleaner was filled with Simple Green and the pump doesn't ...
Little by little the pieces are finding homes as they shuffle from box to floor to wherever.... Today was the first day where things actually looked like a workable garage. A few more days of unpacking, then a few days polishing... the chrome pipes are dirty, and I noticed the aluminum flywheel and clutch had a slight coating of rust... they were most recently in a stack to go to the machine shop for balancing... too near the door, apparently.

The Supra has been in a very narrow garage for the past year. Nine feet isn't enough to open the door even with the other side against the wall.

It's a clean slate on all fronts, and i need to just get on with things now. One of the most annoying things in the last few months has been confined to ...
After a blip in my relationship a few weeks ago (don't worry, it's all sorted now), i made a decision that i guess has been a long time coming. I'm fed up of this house. When i say that, i mean it in terms of the isolation that's required to live here.

An offer of accommodation was given to me by my best friend of 20 years, in his apartment in Brighton - the ...
