Resumed cleaning and organizing the shop. It's amazing how fast it can become disorganized and I'm not even working on anything! It just becomes a dumping ground for everything else. I guess if I would simply put things back where they belong as soon as I am finished with it then it might stay organized longer? Anyway, I'm glad that I even have a place and tools to work with organized or not.

It's like where in the h3ll did all this stuff come from. I can't even get into my shop right now. I am in the process of reducing unused and unneeded things. It is stuff that I have accumulated over the years from employment and other things, now that I done with the employment, that mess can go.

There is two problems with that idea.... time and money 😄I can move around and use mine, it's just a disaster. It serves as a shop, general storage and extra kitchen item/food storage. We are in and out of it constantly. I built a large cabinet to hold food. We have a small chest freezer, refrigerator and a microwave oven out there too. Our kitchen is small so the extras are stored out there. I have my woodworking tools out there. I had it set up as a woodshop but somewhere I came up with the bright idea of making more of a modular space and took down my set up. Now I realized that wasn't a better way of using the space. Now using the tools is much more of a chore since the tools don't have a designated set up. I have to usually clean up and rearrange to use any tools. I'm going to change the layout again this coming year and set up dedicated places for the tools again. I'll need to build a building to store lawn and outdoor equipment first. Then I'll take over and expand the shop area into the storage that is already attached to the shop building. Until then, the battle continues.....

Converted a Gift from Matt to Swamp Water today.May not remember that tomorrow!
Freezing rain and then snow on tree branches pushed some of the branches down onto my driveway. Wife doesn't like driving past them and having them rub her car so I went out and did some pruning. 33 degrees, cloudy, no precipitation so good weather for pruning. While I was outside, I scooped up a lot of semi-frozen dog pooperinos from the lawn. Simba gets very excited when he sniffs out one of his turds decomposing under the snow. Then he digs it up and tries to eat it before we catch him and yell at him. We've had classier dogs.
