Rainy weekend garage trailer project and iPhone macro photo

| October 1, 2024

Since it has been raining and because there was 1/2 cup of workbench top Zip Guard sealer left … and the Bame Utility Trailer was still in the garage … I decided to remove the cover in prep for raking leave and added the leftover sealer to the rail areas.  After removing the cover, I […]

Taylor with a friend in Chicago and a cover for our utility trailer

| September 24, 2024

Taylor and his newlywed longtime friend, Mike, were in Chicago for the weekend and they sent me a few photos of their time together … sort of a post-wedding bachelor get together. I’d did check the Chicago Cubs – Nationals score (they lost), but it did look beautiful at Wrigley Field. I spent the weekend […]

Protecting our rear asphalt driveway by sealing it before winter and finishing the Bame Utility Trailer refresh with Oostra Oak

| September 17, 2024

It has been a couple years since we added new thin layer of asphalt on top of the existing base layer and it was starting to show signs of cracking at the edges … nothing major, but weed roots are never good. So while it is dry and before winter this year, I decided it […]

Once again, added a coat of Zip Guard to the garage workbench

Since 2020 (4 years), there has been enough scraping and dripping of liquid on the work surface to make me think, “a little more protection won’t hurt.” Besides, the last of my Zip Guard in the jar was looking […]

Utility trailer wiring and Marshall Islands Atomic bomb testing

| September 3, 2024

Operation Crossroads Baker in 1946 Besides mowing the front lawn last Friday night (practically in the dark) and much of Saturday in the backyard, I did find time to replace the old cracked tires and rewire the “old” long ago broken lights on the Bame Utility trailer.  On a book reading side note, I’m on […]

Spent the weekend wire-brushing and painting the utility trailer

| August 27, 2024

The “flowers photo” was not the purpose of this post, but because the tiny purple flowers looked so nice this past weekend, I took a photo (I should know the name or at least take the time to look it up … but I’m not).  BUT the real reason was to archive the very messy […]
