Garage
I really did not really fix or repair anything, just used some of my antique tools to play in my garage. It is a wonderful sunny day today, and I could not stand sitting inside anymore.


This old antique first aid set is something my father in law carried with him for many years. And no, it is not obstructing the plug or touching the outlet.


When you see a tube of Mercurochrome, you know is is old. I doubt any of the bandages would be any good. I do need a large 6 inch wide roll of gauze to go in the empty spot. Right now there are some paper towels from the 70s in that spot that I removed for the photo.

The place on the wall only had one stud in the area, so the right side is a dry wall anchor. I got to use my old antique chop saw that is insane loud. I wear hearing protection when I use it. The blade does not have a brake, so it spins down slowly. Again something from my grandfather that works great. No ground plug, and very old school Black and Decker.


Then I went to get more gasoline for my lawnmower.


This is from Grandpa as well. I remember using that very can back when I was a pre-teenager. My dad used it for many years, and now it is mine.


It is from the Champlin refinery in Enid, OK that closed in the 1970s or so. About every other time I go to fill it up someone offers to buy it. Nope not for sale for any reasonable price. I have no idea whet the real value is, but it is not for sale anyway.

That was a bit of time puttering in my garage.
