Having a single garage that is jam packed and has no heat limited my garage activity unfortunately LOL. But I did repurpose some of my grandmothers old frames for these antique parks passes:
Yesterday, replaced the leaking rear wheel cylinder on my Strato Chief. It was nice to take the wheel cylinder off a 51 year old car and not have to deal with any rusty bolts or rusty brake lines.

and doing it on a hoist in a heated garage. 60 hour weeks and decorating the house for Christmas has put my insulation and heat in the garage on hold

I didn't want to rub it in because not everyone is that fortunate, but you are right, that made it pretty pleasant to work on.

What's with all the green stuff in the photo? How can you say you are freezing? I don't see any white stuff.
Must be nice to need a fridge to keep the beer cold at this time of year. I can keep it on the floor and just move it farther from the door if it starts to freeze.......

The green stuff is what you call a good old west coast winter. It has been a little on the chilly side the last few days with temps in the -2 or 3 range. I know, I know that not what you guys in the east call cold, but with the humidity that we have it can be cutting.
Good to hear that you have some heat now Jim. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Gary. Dan,no green stuff left......200' of that cable is expensive!! Doug saved another weeks worth of cans for another trip??? No sense coming to BC....beer fridge is MT and the Liquor stores are all sold out...nothing but water in BC and lots of it!

Those look great. I like the backdrop of maple leaves and birch bark especially.
