Well, after squeezing the Buell in a hole in the garage last night, I decided I would take an early leave today at work. Came home and started cleaning the garage, just so happens to be the hottest day recorded this year. Why today? I should be out riding up in the mountains, instead I am making a cleaner home for the Buell. There's no real point for this post, just came inside to cool off and decided to rant a little. Thanks for listening if anyone did. joe |

I like cleaning my garage. It's very Zen - that's my alone, outside time. I tell my girlfriend I'm cleaning the garage, take a beer with me, and just kind of putter around in there all day, it's great. |

Besides the usual stuff, motorcycles, workbench, etc, my garage has a 'fridge, TV, comfortable chair & a Fisher console (tube) stereo. Maybe not Zen, but quality alone time. |

I'm often sent to the garage when my wife has had enough of me fidgeting around the house! Yes Dear!! |

When we bought this place, those were my ideas exactly! But the garage as turned into, "here hunny, put this somewhere, I am out of room.". So now MY garage consist of everything from my workbench to her cook books and everything in between. I have a tv w/PS2 and a sectional sofa in there but you cant get to either. But the good news...I just got done cleaning. I can now at least park the bike and able to walk completely around it if I need to work on it. joe (Message edited by josnow on August 05, 2008) |

...sounds like my basement, though we're working on that. I swear sometimes I think there isn't a single item down there that's mine...and it's FULL. |

I came home from a long weekend out of town to discover my garage flooded (dumb me forgot to turn faucet to garden hose off, hose sprung a leak). Sucks! Good thing I cleaned the garage recently and nothing was laying on the floor (like tools can sometimes be found)....so there, cleaning is GOOD. |

I wish I had a garage to clean but that usualy comes with a mortgage and a yard and I have neither so its good I guess. |

I'm trying to find space for another old bike. It's gonna be tight, but I'll find room. |

The real reason I bought the house I own is the huge, business-quality garage. I understand a former owner kept dump trucks in it. I thought it would be just great to be able to work on all my projects. As it stands, it contains 3 collector cars, none of them running, one completely disassembled, and one that doesn't even belong to me. Also 3 motorcycles that do belong to me, a lawn tractor, and believe it or not, an airplane hanging from the ceiling. My every day car sits outside in the weather and the other collector car that I actually drive lives somewhere else. Basically, I have so much cr*p in the garage I have to roll the bikes outside to work on them. And, I don't have time to do anything. Beware of large garages. After summer is over I really have to do something about that. |
