Got this stuff from a guy on the Land Cruiser mailing list. Changed for
spridgets.
Garage rules...
1. The time is takes to find a tool is directly proportional the immediate
need.
2. The rate at which my floor jack drops my Sprite is proportional to how
carefully I'm trying to let it down.
3. The simple act of tightening the last bolt on a long job to fix a leak
will simultaneously spring a leak somewhere else on the Sprite.
4. a. All horizontal space will become occupied by "stuff"
b. If I want more "stuff", I only need to add more horizontal space.
5. I will find a lost tool upon my return from Sears to buy the
replacement.
6. a. I never make really embarrassing mistakes while working in the
garage alone.
b. The magnitude of an embarrassing mistake is directly proportional
to the number of people watching/helping.
7. My drink is always on the other side of the Sprite.
8. a. The phone will ring just as I get my hands really dirty.
b. The caller will hang up as soon as I get my hands clean enough to
answer the phone.
9. Regardless of how much I sweep, scrub, mop, and vacuum, there will still
be kitty litter somewhere on the floor.
10. My metric tools are always easy to find.
11. Axel stands are nowhere to be found untill you make do with some 2 by
4s.
12. You always feel safer testing out your axel stands by rocking the sprite
from side to side.
13. Droped sockets will roll untill they are well hidden under some bench or
other big equipment.
14. No matter how careful you are with the crowbar, you will always chip
some paint.
15. When you lose patiance, you often times lose skin\fingers\knuckles or a
combination.
16. Used oil vats are a magnet to droped bolts and or sockets.
a) Its always worth trying to fish it out than going out and finding
a replacement.
b) While trying to fish it out and with used oil up to your elbow,
you ultimatly find that socket you were looking for yesterday.
