Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for May 31, 2014

As Bob Dylan used to say, “the times they are a-changing.”

What’s that thing in YOUR garage?

I don’t have a garage, but I have these in the back room…

I don’t have a garage either…..

but I might get one.

I’ve seen some for sale … and people say you can get a good deal at a garage sale.

This one must have been sold already…

Will wonders ever cease? That’s like the chicken nuggets on a stick. Who thought of that?

Have an old foot operated sewing machine lower part (base and treadle).

I have 2 cars in my garage….and a few lawn & garden tools, but no junk.

We don’t have a garage, but our barn, on the other hand…

our Garage (turned bedroom/storeroom) has a bed and a bunch of boxes that the kids are storing. Most hated 2 words to me………..Garage Sale.

I enjoy most card games (except poker- pointless and bridge- never learned it).As to the garage, right now it has everything but the kitchen sink (and does have the laundry sink and water heater). My car is in the middle, lots of stacked chairs, costume clothes on hangers along one wall and piles of everything that has no place elsewhere including seasonal décor, garden tools and unfinished projects. The most interesting things out there would be my PMC kiln and a centrifugal caster.

The card game we are into right now is Hand and Foot – a canasta type game. I have always had a garage but very seldom had a car in it.

One slide is clear for the truck. The other side has 2 motorcycles, 2 four wheelers, a big tool cart, a bike lift, a desk and gramma’s old victrola (waiting for refinishing), all with shelving along the walls for parts, tools and other junk. We also have all the paperwork for the business down there. The most important thing down there right now is a bucket. Apparently I’ve sprung a leak in the washer drain line. Boooo

Poker, solitaire, and 52 card pickup. :-)

Lots of stuff, but I guess the unusual one is that special tool you use to turn the water off at the meter. Comes in handy when a pipe springs a leak just the other side of the cut off.

Aaaaaaand cordless, don’t forget that!

my Daddy had an 8 track player in his garage until he died 2 years ago. He also had very neat tool boxes and a bench with shelves. He kept screws etc in baby food jars with printed labels.
