Re: Garage Ideas
If it is an attached garage (even if it isn't) a laundry style washtub with
hot and cold running water is a big plus in a garage. I wish I had it in my
garage.

Re: OT: Garage Ideas
Hey Bill,
Nice looking station!
I bet that gas was a lot more affordable 'back in the day' than it is now.
;¬D
I love the pictures of you in the car, what a cutie you were
One thing about it, your car was there when you got home, a lot of those
gals in the photos were'nt.
Any ol time you wanna brag, go right ahead. It's interesting to see what
other people have done in their lives. Looks like you have had some real
successes.
