Fujimi 1/24 sccle Toyota MR2 Plastic Model Kit

I bought and started building this kit over 25 years ago.  It's been sitting in the garage.  Brought it back into the house...

I had a 1987 MR2 (Red) and put almost 100,000 miles on it before it got sold on.  It was a great car...  I had spray painted the model's body red (it came molded in white).  The glue in the box is new (bought it recently thinking of continuing  the build...).

Looks like I painted a few other pieces Red, Blue & Yellow on the "trees"...

The "glass' & stickers...

Fujimi did some pretty detailed packaging, including printing on the inside of the box.  Very Japanese...

Garage Organizing - part 41 -- putting stuff in the Kennedy tool box next to the band saw...

The tool box that I put next to the band saw is empty.  First, I had to vacuum out the interior of all the drawers/compartments.  This is the very bottom drawer, after vacuuming (forgot to take a "before" picture).

This is the second to the bottom drawer, before vacuuming...

After...

A couple of the smaller drawers, before vacuuming.

Top compartment before...

After...

I moved only Plomb tools into this tool box.  On the right is one of the shallow smaller drawers...

Another shallow drawer on the RH side...

Second to the bottom drawer...

Deeper bottom most drawer...

For now, storing miscellaneous stuff in the top compartment.  Since another tool box sits on top of this one, the top compartment will not be easily accessible so storing this kind of stuff is better than storing tools in it...

Pretty much full...

Tuesday, May 26, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

Less busy on the beach than over the weekend but still quite a few people on the sand.  Most lifeguard stations appear to be manned...  (you can tell from a distance by noting if the flag is flying or not).

The main station at the pier was not flying a flag...

Looking north.  Being a Tuesday, the bike path is not too crowded at lunch time & parking lot is closed.

Parking lots closure blockade on Manhattan Beach Blvd. as it ends at the pier...

Looking south towards PV along the bike path...  If you keep going on the bike path, it ends at the foot of PV.

Pier still closed...

People on the sand but somewhat spread out...

Garage Organizing - part 40 -- putting stuff in the Kennedy tackle box near the garage entrance...

Started putting small miscellaneous items in the Kennedy tackle box that lives near the entrance to the garage (under the table saw).

The LH side of the top drawer has a removable tray with more small compartments under it.  These little compartments are ideal for storing miscellaneous small hardware items.

The bottom drawer of the tackle box is deeper and has just these three compartments.

For now, I put these containers of hardware in the drawer but it's not idea.  I'll move them somewhere else later & better use this space for more appropriate items...

Memorial Day Holiday -- Monday, May 25, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

Head light & phone mount...

As the clock says, I got to the pier about 7:15 AM.  Since it's a holiday, left the house early to avoid the crowds...

The woman in the red coat is from CBS news and was interviewing people.  She asked me & I said no thanks...

Early enough that there's more sea gulls than people.  Quite a few surfers in the water though...

Parking lots at the beach are closed.

Later, this area will be overflowing with people...

Garage Organizing - part 39 -- engraver, Dremmel, electric impact, Toyota jack & Honda Valve Cover

RH drawer cabinet, middle drawer:  Put the engraver & Dremmel in this drawer...

Need to find a home for this large 1/2" electric impact gun.  It's branded "Rotunda" (there was a famous building on the Dearborn Ford campus called the Rotunda...)

Put a Toyota jack, Honda S2000 Valve Cover & a fold up seat back in the RH lower cabinet...

Reorganized the 2nd from the LH end lower cabinet drawer to store some hooks and other miscellaneous tools/hardware...

Saturday, May 23, 2020 -- BBQ Korean Ribs

Bought some pre-marinated Korean ribs at the Korean market.  They turned out OK but the marinade was weak.  Gave it a try but not worth it.  Will go back to making my own...

Garage Organizing - part 38 -- stuff handy near the entrance to the garage...

There are certain basic tools/items that I use very often in the garage, especially for adjustments related to the bicycle.  I've been keeping them on the top of the table saw extension table because it's the most handy location.  But, in order to achieve the cleared & clean horizontal surfaces, I have to put these somewhere else.
Decided to put them in the drawers of this tool box that's just below the table saw surface.  This larger drawer will hold these often used items.

In a deeper smaller drawer, I've placed the bicycle lights that sometimes get used.

Closeup of the often used stuff...

I added some more tools to be stored in the center bottom compartment of the large Kennedy fold open tool box that sits above the box where I put the often used tools.
Just added a small two claw puller & a Model T valve adjuster tool in the bottom.

Also added a 3M epoxy mixing gun & some epoxy.

The large Kennedy fold open box is ready to go back on top of the tool cabinet (have to put some wood spacers so that it doesn't sit on the handle of the tool cabinet).

The table saw top is getting cleared, slowly but surely...

A bunch of miscellaneous bits to go in the "spare parts" bins...

Saturday, May 23, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier -- Bike Path is Open...

They officially opened the bike path at the beach.  Rode to Manhattan Beach Pier.  Quite a lot of people on the bike path...

The parking at the pier is still closed.  Lots of people on bikes.

Pier is still closed.  Quite a few people laying out or sitting on the sand.  I don't think it's allowed but if they don't get too close, I don't see the big risk...

Most of the lifeguard stations are starting to open.
