My latest obsession...
I get stuck every once in awhile on something that catches my eye or fancy...I usually let it run it’s course.
The latest is bike repair shop, bike brand aprons!
These will cover an ugly wall and provide cover for a window against prying eyes.

Well at least not matching apron color to color of bike your working on.

Utility...
I have actually worn these to see how much utility there is in the different styles.
I find that if I’m working at the outside benches, I’ll wear the more over engineered aprons...lotsa pockets.
I have magnetic strips, trays and tool caddys(another obsession) everywhere in the inside shop(s)and don’t need all of the pockets.
You can lose tools and small parts!
My favorite apron is my simple Park Tool apron.
Simply goes over my head and ties in the back...two lower pockets, simple.

I was going through the garage a bit more today and started finding these around the garage...kinda cool, there may be more...
The silver one is for Adhesives, made by Plews.
Some are made by Eagle, Lincoln, and K-2 MFG. CO.
The big one is not ID’d.
Break is over, back to work!

There are certainly worse obsessions to have.

Luckily almost all of my obsessions are bicycle related!

Fed one of my obsessions this week...found myself near this stand and ended with a good “pick up” only, Park Tool double headed stand...complete!
Gonna really mess up my reconfigure plans for the shops to shop!
Cool stickers...
Better clamps...nice adjuster and cable ways...
Awesome aluminum tray...adjustable height...

So where is the bike shop themed mail box. I'll bet you could sell a bunch of those to other equally obsessed people here.
