Wow, exactly how many carbs do you have?

My bench was that way up until last week... I couldn't stand it anymore and cleaned it. Much better now.

Do you honestly think the pic I posted of my bench was the way it really looks?

I find that when I clean off the workbench, I wind up with too much stuff on the floor.

Now I find it easier to just make another worktable...they last a long time, last one I made didn't turn into a storage space for at least a week...

Ok, I laughed a little but she is looking for yo azz!

Actually she's right. It's impossible to work with a pile of junk cluttering up the bench! I also manage to keep my car running with one carb...which by the way is on the car.
