Too much stuff/junk/crap, not enough garage

I am in the rather strange habit of sitting here thinking about one thing and then suddenly meandering into some other thing as the currents of my thoughts turn into white water rapids, capsizing my frontal lobe, killing everyone and washing the bodies onto the shore 10 miles downstream where they finally rupture from the sun and advanced decomposition…

See what I mean?

Anyhoo, I was about to start writing a terribly long and boring blog about the politics of this state (AZ) going into the same crapper as CA when I was mentally bumped into another bloated body floating down stream…

I want more garage space.

Ok so I DO actually have a garage and, believe it or not, you CAN walk around inside of it without holding your belly in and doing some kind of weird dance moves to maneuver over to get a screwdriver out of the tool box (Cue up the MC Hammer tune Can’t touch this and change it to Can’t Step There and you will have a pretty good idea)… But, honestly, there is too much “stuff”. Some of it includes: items belonging to She Who Must Be Obeyed, odds and ends from my oldest daughter crammed literally to the rafters, a broken down bike belonging to my step-son ( which incidentally proves Einstein’s 47 1/3 law of matter which states “A broken bicycle will take up 22.7934 times more space in 4 dimentions than a non-broken bicycle” ), my wood working paraphernalia, and the miscellaneous detritus of my life.

Thing is, it is never men who REALLY design and build houses, this is an illusion. Women such as She Who Must Be Obeyed are the REAL home designer/builder/dictators…

So it is with pride, enthusiasm and the desire to free all men from Garage Claustrophobia that I feel the need to unite REAL MEN against the common enemy: FATE (Females Attracted To Earth-tones)

In keeping with my new organization’s charter, my own version of a Real Estate ad listing should be as follows:

    Add a non-conductive electrical bench with variable currant and voltage sources and a completely suite of machine shop tools (lathe, table saw, scroll saw, and drill press a bare minimum, sand casting and injection plastic molding would be icing on the proverbial cake) and you’d have me sold.

    I wish I had a garage.
