Well not exactly my latest purchase as they have bought them a couple months ago but finally got my new lights up in my back shop.

The old lights with multiple bulbs and ballasts out.

New lights are on a 12' x 12' spacing pattern and seem to produce pretty even and very bright light. I did wire them up with 0-10V dimmer switches as well and on two circuits so I can light up the area around the lift and leave the other side dark if I want.
Now that's what I call a garage! Size matters. How has that Ferris ZT held up? Was interested in one of those but the prices for the actual suspension mowers has went nuts.

Thanks but what they say is true, garages/sheds are never big enough. I bought this place almost exactly 12 years ago with the 36x56 pictured and a 24x54 attached to it. When I moved in the shed pictured had my enclosed car trailer, mower, and a few odds and ends in it and the front had my truck, tool box, welder, and a few other tools in it. I could empty both out in under an hour. The picture you see now has my open car trailer setting outside to make room so I could put up the lights and still shuffling half a dozen other things to move the scaffold around. The front shed is now fully insulated and pretty much at capacity with tools, work benches, and storage shelves.

The ferris has been really good it is one of the lower end ones, its an is700. I have had it for 3 years now and bought it 2 years old from my aunt and uncle that were down sizing. So far I have put one deck belt on it and a new battery. Other than full service it once a year is all its had. My dad has a 11 year old is2000z which is a true independent front suspension instead of a pivoting solid axle like mine and it has been very similar on durability.

Well, since the Camaro has been on the back burner. It's all running but, I just don't drive it and now that summer is here it'll probably not get much drive time.

I've been working on MTB bike projects. I flipped the recent Schwinn for this vintage elevated stay Revolution (Ellison) MTB

stupidity on my part or a impulse buy? rockola 425 juke box. of course not working, for 20 bucks it'll give me something to tinker with, threw it on craigslist for 100 bucks but 30 bucks will take it home.
Unloading it 350 pounds of cabinet and all, I put a 4x4 sheet of plywood from the tailgate to a chest. another 4x4 sheet from the chest to the ground. box comes off 1st board and it goes onto the 2nd sheet of wood, im standing on the top sheet as it slips off the tailgate with me ending up on my face! jim

I picked this up on Saturday June 3,2023. It's a 2012 Yamaha V Star 250 it has 17,854. I picked it up at a dealer in pompano beach for $2,941.78 Out the door with Tax,Title and Tag! Not a Bad deal! I have not been on a bike in over 30 years and this bike runs like a dream! Just some minor problems The battery need's to be replaced but got a deal at a batteries plus for $48.47. Only other problems it has is the starter button is going out and one of the side covers that's made of plastic two of the tabs are broken but I think I can easily fix them. And when I took the battery out one of the bolts that hold on the seat striped out not sure if it's the bolt or the threads in the frame but I can fix that too. :) And 2 little holes in the seat and some of the stitching on the back rest has come undone. Saddle bags just need a little Love no need to replace them any time soon. All in all I love the bike runs great on the street and I can get in the highway too!

I needs me a poll barn like that for all my crap, then I can but some more new crap to fill it up.
