Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 29, 2020

My Dad was never very happy with that manner of my completing the assigned task, and I don’t think that Janis will be any more accepting.

You can tell me to do something or, you can tell me how to do something. But not both!

Technically true.

My garage was clean only the day I put the doors on.

Both my brothers have very clean garages, I mean eat off the floor clean garages. I did not get that gene.

The difference between a garage sale and trash day, is how close your stuff is set by the curb….

OK, now clean up the driveway.

I cleaned up the driveway.

OK now clean up the garage….

I’m a little bit surprised that Arlo and Janis kept an old car battery in their garage… I got the impression that they take their car to “the shop” when it needs fixing, including a battery swap. ;-)

Hubby cleans off his work bench by putting everything in a big box. . .

. . . which he puts on top of the dryer.

Here’s a feesh!

Put it out closer to street with a FREE sign on it

No garage. Made it into a workshop. Which is always a mess!

It’s amazing how Arlo and I have so much identical junk in our garages!

Tomorrow the driveway!

For today, Jimmy Johnson got to draw things!

I think it’s a Law of Physics that the more space you have the more you will have to fill it.

My neighbor has one of those neat garages from floor to ceiling including everything visible and accessible on shelves. Braggart!

Now…several trips to the “waste recycling center”.

See what happens when a contract has no fine print.

I love the fact that my wife will come in and reorganize my garage like I’ll ever find anything ever again

Cannot show this one to the wife or I will be following in Arlo’s footsteps…

Step one completed.

Wanna bet?

my garage is clean, only because I don’t fill it with with junk, I’d rather rent tools than buy Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser that I will never use again.

WHATAMAN!

Or, Just like a man!

I can’t clean mine. Hand grenades aren’t available, to the general public.

I want to hire a dumpster, but the wife thinks all the crap is precious.

Yeah, but the garage is clean. I clean mine and a month later is messed up again. The receptacle for everything that wont fit in the house anymore.

Our garage is husband’s woodworking shop – ankle deep in saw dust.

When he can’t find things there – or in his leather shop in the basement or his “loom room” for weaving aka the living room or our general craft studio off our kitchen or in our office or his personal stuff – he will ask me where the item is. My standard reply is “what did you last use it for” that will generally result in my finding the missing item.

Then again, tonight as we were heading out to pick up our car from the mechanic I could not remember where I (and I always put things somewhere logically) had left the plastic shopping with the can of Lysol and plastic sandwiches bags to use as cheap disposable gloves. We are were looking in the dining room, the kitchen, the studio – duh! I left the bag hanging on the door we were going to walk out so we did not forget it!
