If I got a red light at 9%, that’s a bit less that 1.5 gallons....... I’d wanna be hitting the gas station as the light came on LOL

Covert archeological digs were carried out in a secluded region known as “the garage” an important structure was found..... experts such as caveman believe it to be known as a “work bench” used for gruesome activities such as dis imbowling car parts....... further digs will continue when the keeper of the area known as “the wife” turns her back lol

I don't know about Caveman, but that partial board shelf looks like a cave in waiting to happen

He suffers from the same illness I do - Surfaceushorizontalusitis. I pile stuff on every flat area I can find.
THAT’S funny - and I can relate completely. Worse here in that 95% of the stuff in the garage is the “keeper’s” stuff.

Very little went to the trash, most of it hit the bolt buckets, tool box drawers and the new parts shelving unit I got the other day, it’s full now lol

Fairchild makes pretty good stuff. Everything I’ve gotten from em fit perfectly........ but they are the ones that smell like dead skunks

Just wondering for future reference. Replaced Windshield a long time ago. They reused old rubber seal and leaked. Took it back couple times but still leaked. Finally sealed it myself. I doubt it is reusable again
