Imagine this dumbass move. Coming back to the shop with fast food lunch and some supplies from the auto parts, get cut off coming in the driveway and my drink spills on the carpet. Get pissed off about that. Come in the shop door and throw the bag from the auto parts onto the workbench, magically the can of starting fluid strikes something sharp and goes off like a damn rocket, spraying ether all around inside the shop. Now picture me tip-toeing through the ether-filled shop VERY carefully, slowly opening each rollup door praying I don't make a spark, so I can air the place out quietly, instead of the alternative.......

Yeah, my g/f was really impressed with that one (she was with me coming in the door)

Coulda got it double-grilled!

Amazing how that big of an open space could ALL smell like ether in such a hurry.

If it helps get back on topic (or wait, that was the "I gotta know" thread! LOL), here's my lowered '94 C2500LD pulling a load of stuff into the building as I'm moving in. Couple pinball machines in the bed, another in the 4x8 behind it with some other misc stuff crammed in like an old steel/formica office table and knowing me there were boxes of stuff under the pinball machines between the legs.

Or how about a load of ball-breakingly heavy 19.5 wheels and tires

Pulling a 20' car hauler with an old T-bird body down to the blasters to see if there's any steel left in it ;)

I'm sure glad I'm not alone in these wonderful happings. My latest adventure's seam to be setting things down and then wondering why I just didn't throw it on the floor my damn self. I could completely cut out work benches and shelves from my shop gain extra room and help the economy by hiring some kid to help me get off the floor. This almost seams feasible some days of course getting down seams to happen more often than it use to some time on purpose.
