Yes, campfire! yes. I'm a soon to retire Amp tech. Deal with that all the time, had to actually create a church/state wall with my musician friends. Works work, I get paid for that. Sometimes just lunch, sometimes in Benjamin's.

Got to be that way.

I've got a chopper project coming in next week, complete rewire. Pics to follow.

PS, We really need a 'like' button. Pretty please

Ideas for keeping a supply of cold beer in the garage, without visitors knowing how close it is, or the inventory.
:Snork


AND......
to even eliminate the chance that visitors might see what I'm drinking (or even know I have anything to drink)

Yes, I'm retired. But I like to tinker in the garage, shop, man cave.... what ever you call it.
And there are those times that I need a rest. Just a short one, so may I suggest a reclining folding chair for those wonderful ten, twenty, sixty minute naps.

Image

Or, if you really want to spend money, how about the human hoist chair.

Image

Or in KLR fashion, keep it cheap and make your own out of scrap stuff.

100% agreed!

I have the large/significant man size, and keep one at my place, my parents, and at a mates place in the bookdocks.

Each reclines back to a flat bed if required.

Useful for naps, comfort, astronomy whether with eyes or binos :thumb

when I re carpeted the house the carpet went in the garage.

So too, a comfy chair when needed. I have a choice of lots of camping chairs too. There's a beer fridge, most importantly.

Buddy stops by yesterday as I'm working on a door trim project, and he's looking around my work bench and spots the miscellaneous box on the shelf.

"Hey, you know what these are good for?" as he reached up and takes out an old golf ball I had.
"You always have more files than file handles right?"

:eek

WOW! What an idea! I had to try it.

If that was a good golf ball I'd be in tears at the lost joy. :DirtDOG

But it's a crappy ball so all good! :thumb

We go walking sometimes next to a driving range. We always find strays along the road.

I usually keep one or two in the tank bag for the game of "Bounce the ball into the sign" on long trips.
