Default Physics visits my garage




Nothing hit the Saturn and I deflected the entire top box away from the Audi while managing to hold the doors closed until it got close to the ground.

I'm accumulated too many additional tools and sockets to keep them all in the top box. Which is perfect because I had finally gotten around to labeling everything.

Are you sure a rogue possum didn't knock it over, derf? That's what I'd go with.

All the heavy **** is all in the lowest drawers it can be in both.

I'm thinking of L bracketing the sides to the wall if the studs line up. Or at least one side.

I did figure out that the bottom actually pulled the whole thing down. I recently condensed all of my half inch impacts into one of the top drawers of the bottom half and I had that, the door above full of box wrenches, and there was other **** open to but we won't go there.

Thankfully my wife was downstairs and was able to hold the end of the top case for the time it took for me to get my leg out from under it. It didn't hurt I was just positionally trapped.

And there ain't no damn possums ever gettin in my garage.

Ohhhhhhhh...I took the sawzall and my half inch impact gun out of two of big bottom drawers. Probably made it top heavy.

Indeed I am a fan of mobile 1. It burns extremely efficiently in the catcon of a dohc Saturn such that the original engine in the car in the background could go through about 3 and 1/2 quarts per 3000 miles and still pass a tailpipe inspection. It used much more dino oil so it was strangely cost-effective.

Time to clean up the mess.

You'd better be careful, derf. We DO NOT want you winning any Darwin awards.

As long as you didn't get hurt, then all is good.

There are a couple cabinets in the basement that my Dad always tells me to not leave the top drawers open for that very reason.
