First weekend in October

Did some more surveillance, gonna try and install the new water heater myself.









So bought a tool to try and do my own alignment on the Jeep; it's bare metal which would rust in the garage; what I settled on was some industrial cling wrap for it.


Picked up the water heater on Thursday, got it unloaded in the garage on Saturday so I could better size things up.



Saturday was like four dump runs from the garage, and by 3pm it was absolutely perfect weather for a Jeep drive (it was a bit chilly with the top and windows open when I started the dump runs at 11:30). So decided to finally deliver the small motor for Ed's old canoe to Kiya & Wes. Didn't realize everyone was visiting that day; just missed Eddie Boy.




Sunday morning I attacked the corner...that was more work than I expected :D But by the time the Patriots were coming on I was kind of running on fumes for the weekend and went in for lunch and a shower. Did do a few more things in the house and garage.





I have shelf space!



I have no idea what is in these two boxes, and I can't pull them out unless I roll the whole rack out. Tried searching for those part numbers to no avail.



Though low on my priority list, at some point I'd like to put a new tank on this air compressor -- pump was running fine but the tank rusted out after darn close to 20 years. The freaking tank alone is $300 ( https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cam-ar040700cg ) but a similar new compressor is $1000. I think I only paid $300-400 back around 2000.

As electric Milwaukee stuff becomes more common, I don't use the compressor nearly as often but it is real handy and the little pancake compressor I'm using now you can only use most air tools a very short time.



Of course I'm sort of questioning stuff since it basically became "make a mess in the garage to clean it up" stage :/ (Mice got into that chair, that's why it's being disposed of.)
