Nice man cave!

Great job and nice collection!

Spent some time over the weekend to further organize by adding two ceiling shelfs above the garage door.  Measure twice!  Worked out great and I was able to take more things from the house and store it.  I also ended up taking a truck load of things I don't need to the dump.  Mostly things I kept and didn't have a need for like a tile cutter, JL subwoofer, etc..  I plan to continue to toss things.  I'd sell stuff, but to be honest.....I don't want to deal with people these days. 

This is the feelfree lure I'm prepping to give to my friend at lake anna.  In the meantime I'm using it for sizing for the new lift system.


This is what it looks like with the two racks


The Harken lift is set to put the kayak on the truck and take off whenever I need too

Those rods on the garage door scare me!

I really like those ceiling racks!

I actually have the rods all tied in.  They don't move unless I unstrap them on both ends.  I somehow inherited some heavy deep sea rods and reels that I wouldn't use from my dad.  I didn't know what to do with them...still don't.  I'm thinking about passing them on to my friend in Kent island for his boat. 
Maybe keep one lighter one for catfishing!

It's looking good!

I have a couple of friends that have true garage bars. Yes, the do drink some when in there but the their places are the neighborhood hang out. Lots of guys in the 'hood stop by when the light is on.

So jealous. I'd kill for a garage like that. Great stuff.

I am fighting to get a12-14 foot jon into my townhouse garage!  Very impressive.  What are those honeycomb lights?

I have to ask. There lots and lots of tools on that tool wall. What in the world do you use them for?

You got some nice toys!!

Still better than me.  I have to make room for my next boat...

I have some very specific reason for this....

-Truck for kayak hauling (without a trailer) and for camping, hunting and offroading
-Tractor since it's a childhood dream to own one!  And it literally already paid for itself with all the landscaping and tree cutting I've done.   lol  true story
-Suppressed rifles for plinking in the backyard and not disturbing the surroundings and night vision scope to take out any coyotes that begin attacking any of my animals (not my animals, but neighborhood cats, foxes, opossums, raccoons)

I have a camera in the yard and I see the animals all the time coming through sniffing around.  No big deal, but last month a coyote came through and everyone vanished for a couple days (hiding I suppose).  They all seem to make it back as I haven't lost anyone I've been watching.  Heck I have a fox that lost the fur on it's tail (mange) and I'm working to cure it with ivermectin in hard boiled eggs.  Side note, I can't believe how dumb people could be to take that stuff for covid....natural selection!

Those racks were made by my friend and fishing mentor, Carl. He donated one of them to the HS Fishing Club for a raffle to raise funds. I asked Charlie, the president, as to how how much money they wanted to raise. I added a few extra $$s to the number and the rack became mine. Now I have 2 of them. They are maple wood and expertly made.

I didn't think you could just go out and buy them.  They really are pieces of art imho...maple wood too!  Just beautiful work.  It's pretty cool that you have something like this made by Carl.....I feel the same way about certain things I have from people I respected and lost.
