Friday, June 12, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier - no fog today...

Garage Organizing - part 64 -- concrete/masonry, plaster, drywall tools...

I have this bin of tools that I can put in tool boxes.  (then I can get rid of the bin...)

I was hoping there was room in this tool box for the tools...

But, it's pretty full of different sizes and types of tubing/rods.  They can come in handy in certain situations (as spacers, tools, extensions, etc.).

This fold open Kennedy tool box was sitting on top of the box with the tubes.  I'll make space in the main bottom compartment for most of the tools...

Cleared out the bottom...

Most of the tools fit, except for one...

The bin is empty.  The putty knives will go into a drawer in one of the tool boxes near the back wall.  The one tool that's too big for the fold open Kennedy tool box will need some other home...

Garage Organizing - part 63 -- Testors Paints & Panasonic Bathroom Fan

Need to find a storage solution for the Model Paint (Testors brand).

I also have this new Panasonic bathroom fan that I was hoping to replace the one in the small bathroom with, but the exhaust layout is not compatible with the one in the bathroom...  Need a different solution...

Thursday, June 11, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier - Marine Layer Rolling in Mid-Day...

It's unusual to have a sunny morning then have the marine layer roll in mid-day.  Where I was standing, it was sunny but the fog was quickly rolling in...
Riding back home, I rode through the fog and it was distinctly wet and very cool...

Out beyond the lifeguard tower is Catalina...

Can barely see the end of the pier...

This direction is south and usually you can see the Palos Verdes Peninsula clearly...  Not today.

Averaged over 19 MPH today.  That's pretty fast for me.

Garage Organizing - part 62 -- Sievert (Swedish) Camping Stove

I've had this stove for a long time but never used it.

Comes with wind blockers for the sides.

Need to make/buy a connector for the propane tank to the stove...

Garage Organizing - part 61 -- Drawer rearrangement & better use of the space above the stainless steel cabinets

I moved the stuff around in this drawer to fit the white bin (in the middle of the drawer) inside...

There were three empty boxes above the stainless steel cabinets, plus this camping stove.

This is the stuff that was brought down from above the stainless steel cabinets  (the empty boxes were tossed)

Storage space...

Camping stove...

Wednesday, June 10, 2020 -- Manhattan Beach Pier - Hot day

It was around 84 F when I went for a ride.  Usually, I ride at lunch time, but today I waited till the end of the day.  It was another hot day (around 90 F mid-day, with very low humidity of around 10%).  But, it was slightly cooler than yesterday.  I decided to not ride yesterday...

It's usually about 5 to 15 degrees cooler at the beach.  So, there were quite a lot of people at the beach, even late in the day on a Wednesday.

Garage Organizing - part 60 -- Hanging Baskets, Valve Covers & Moving some more stuff around

Placed these hanging baskets on the rack that the orange lamps are on.  Don't know what I'll put in them yet...

For now, this valve cover is sitting on top of one of the tool box bases.  This is from an Indycar engine & is machined from billet...

This one is aluminum but the oil fill cap is steel & has a coat of surface rust...

Pretty much cleared this counter, again...  Most of the valve covers that were sitting here went into the metal shelving unit in the corner.

Moved some more stuff onto the top of the flat files.  The stuff on the tall gray cabinet can stay but the stuff on the beige flat file need to find better homes...

The small red/white ice chest fits next to the Craftsman Circular Saw Box...

Moved these small narrow liquids here (it's actually not in the way of the drawers at all, so they can stay here, for now...)

Garage Organizing - part 59 -- Kennedy base cabinet content

This is the cabinet base that's sitting on top of the red Snap-on tool box base (which is sitting on top of the beige flat file).
The bottom drawer.  Miscellaneous old tools.  Most of the wood handle screw drivers in this drawer are very large...

The top drawer.  Mostly wrenches...

For now, I just have a large Forstner bit in this narrow bin in the tool chest above the base cabinet...

Moved the Macintosh in front of the RH end of the Lancia Dash.

Miele Bicycle -- Fork - Lower Bearing Race Installation

I brought the fork home hoping that there will be a piece of tubing somewhere in the garage that will be just the right size to help "press" the bottom bearing race onto the fork.  This is the handle to the orange floor jack.  It happens to be just the right diameter to fit the fork...

Just the right size.  Simply gently "slam" the bearing race into the jack handle repeatedly to force the race onto the bottom of the fork...

It took about 20 "slams"

The race is "pressed" onto the bottom of the fork.  Now it can be reinstalled on the frame with the rest of the headset...
