Storage #4 -- Bought a Rack to Go Inside

From Costco online...

The shelving unit came with four shelves.  I happened to have a shelf left over from the other shelving units I already put in the first three bins.  Used it here (the gray colored one at the top).

This unit is raw stainless steel.

Costco is out of stock on the gray units that I had previously purchased.

About 1/2 to 2/3 full... (the cardboard boxes are empty and will be moved out of the storage bin soon, freeing up valuable space)

 

Thursday, April 1, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

It's mostly overcast at the beach.

But, it's quite warm (high 70s F, around 25 C) and a bit humid.

There's a lot of people on the sand all along the entire bike ride...

This woman is blowing big soap bubbles...  I don't know why...

All the bicycles in this picture appear to be electric...

Epoxy... part 6 - Sanding the Epoxy

Before sanding...

After 60 grit

After 5,000 grit

Bottom side...

The end still needs to be sanded

The wood around the epoxy became polished, along with the epoxy...

Used a random orbit sander with a vacuum hose attached

The progression of more and more fine sand paper...

Need to organize the sand paper drawer...

 

Wednesday, March 31, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

They're putting more outdoor dining space on the street, going right to the pier.

The plywood appears to be a barrier to protect against cars hitting the dining platforms...

Hot today.  Around 86 F (30 C).

Surprised at how crowed the beach and the bike path is on a Wednesday.

It is spring break this week for a lot of people in school & Friday is Good Friday, coming into Easter...

Had a long meeting going through lunch so the bike ride was late...

Don't have space for this.

Will move it on...
