Retirement Gift

I splurged and got myself a neon Evinrude clock(green), I have a 74' 9.9hp that runs like a sewing machine, except on our last camping trip it spun the prop. I mounted the original prop on the opposite wall from the clock. When you are retired you have time to do silly things like this...

Is that a new shop? All the wood looks fresh still.

Yep I had it built 3 years ago when the house was built, without sheetrock I have plenty of places to hang all my junk...it has become a true mancave though with a smart TV, PC, beer fridge and microwave. It's nice til summer gets here...(you can never build a shop big enough)

Congrats on having a shop. When I was running my biz I framed in a small office in the corner of the garage. Insulated and sheetrocked the outer walls. Still got too hot in summer, lol.

congrats Bill ! Going on 3 months for me it feels so free to do whatever you want to when you want to.

Nothing truer has ever been said!

Congratulations on the clock, seems like the perfect finishing touch.
