Garage Organizing - part 23 - Finding more homes for stuff...

Makita drill kit.  Handy setup for working "off site"

Using this shallow drawer to store rasp drill bits (need to label the drawer).  This tool box has Douglas aircraft stickers on the inside and outside of the box.  It also came with these tags...  I wonder if H. W. Gill is still around...

Overview of which tool box the rasp drill bits are in.

The stainless steel shelf units have a lip on the bottom that I can clip hooks to.  I've placed a hook between the two tool boxes to hang...

a drag racing parachute "pre-chute"  (this is the first thing that "spring" out to catch the wind and pulls the large chute out)

The space above the Bosch tool box is just enough for a large clear plastic bin.  Will fill the bin with stuff later (but it can't be too heavy, so relatively light stuff...).

Tuesday, May 12, 2020 -- Marina Del Rey -- Clouds & Windy; Red tide is fading...


It's cool (high 60s) and more windy than usual.  Makes getting to this turnaround point hard (ride directly into the headwind)...

This is where I stop, take a short break (water/Gatorade) then ride back home.  This picture shows the "cageless" water bottle on the bike.  I also use a headlight (in flashing mode) even when riding in the daytime (the bike path is narrow and many people don't look ahead to see what's coming at them and will wander on the wrong side of the bike path.  The flashing headlight, even in the day light, increases the chance that people may see me coming.  If they don't, I have to say something...).

The puffy white clouds are fantastic...

Rare to see a tug boat on the Marina Del Rey channel...

More clouds...  The ride from home to this turnaround point and back takes a little less than 1/2 hour... (about 9 miles)

The red tide is going away.  I can see more of the rocks under the water and the color is fading...

Garage Organizing - part 22 - Finding more homes for stuff...

pinewood derby stuff...  Will find other places to store it (don't have space for the bin).

Using the space around the ice cooler for spray cans...

Has to do with vacuum tubes...  Box will go in one of the stainless steel upper cabinets on the RH side of the garage...

Using the narrow space on the side of the storage cabinet for some narrow brief cases...

Pretty much full...

Upper half of the storage cabinet is full

Lower half of the storage cabinet is also full...

Using the top storage of the tool box to store taller items...
